Bitcoin traded firmly above $92,000, up 1.6% over the past 24 hours, as a broad but selective rally lifted key pockets of the crypto market. Ethereum followed closely, gaining 2.1% to trade above $3,150, while majors largely moved sideways. The standout move came from Monero (XMR), which surged nearly 18%, leading gains in the privacy tokens sector. AI-linked tokens also extended their rebound, with the sector rising over 2%, driven by strength in FET, TAO, and Venice Token, which posted double-digit gains. DePIN names advanced alongside AI, while DeFi and Layer 1 tokens posted modest upticks. Meanwhile, CeFi, meme coins, and Layer 2 tokens underperformed, reflecting ongoing sector rotation rather than a broad market breakout.
