Market Overview
Majors are drifting lower on thin volume, but the tape is orderly — losses are shallow across BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB and ADA, while XRP absorbs the session's pain with a sharper -3.4% slide. Volume is subdued (BTC ~$28.8B), so the downside lacks conviction and looks like rotation rather than distribution.
Today's Top Movers
Speculative appetite persists at the small-cap end even as majors lag. Pearl leads a +12% breakout on ~$13.5M turnover — a real liquidity expansion rather than a thin print. Ether.fi strength (+6.3%) reads as staking/liquid-restaking beta returning ahead of majors, while BTW and Dash round out the bid.
Daily Verdict
A muted, risk-averse session: majors consolidate with a slight negative tilt while capital concentrates in a narrow set of small-cap movers, with ETHFI outperformance hinting that Ether-linked beta is being bought into weakness.
