The altcoin market staged a major rebound over the past 24 hours, with double-digit gains reported across several key tokens. Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Worldcoin (WLD) posted the strongest daily performances among the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, reflecting renewed investor interest in specific sectors such as derivatives, artificial intelligence, and digital privacy.
The gains follow a period of subdued trading activity, suggesting a shift in market sentiment as trading volumes and token prices increased noticeably.
Hyperliquid led the rally, climbing 14.63% to reach $35.48. The protocol, specializing in on-chain derivatives, recorded over $532 million in trading volume during the day. HYPE’s movement places it at the top of the day’s leaderboard, signaling strong momentum within the derivatives niche as investors pivot toward utility-focused platforms in decentralized finance (DeFi).
Worldcoin followed with a 12.61% gain, pushing its price to $1.43. The token’s trading volume hit $1.18 billion, the highest among all gainers during the period. The price increase comes amid ongoing engagement around Worldcoin’s initiatives linking digital identity with biometric and AI technologies. Its high trading activity suggests sustained market interest in infrastructure supporting identity verification.
AI Tokens and Privacy Coins Register Gains
Artificial intelligence-related assets also performed well. Fetch.ai (FET), part of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, rose 7.91% to trade at $0.8979. The token continued its upward movement in line with broader attention on AI capabilities in blockchain environments. Meanwhile, Four (FORM) saw an 8.01% rise, reaching $2.89 by the end of the reporting period.
Privacy token Zcash (ZEC) increased 7.14% to trade at $47.34. The move indicates steady interest in coins focused on secure and anonymous transactions, amid increased scrutiny of public ledger transparency.
Broader Altcoin Sentiment Turns Positive
Solana ecosystem token Jupiter (JUP) climbed 4.67% to $0.5741, supported by a trading volume of $194.8 million. Bitget Token (BGB) gained 3.99%, while meme-based Bonk (BONK) added 3.43%. Infrastructure-oriented coins Injective (INJ), Celestia (TIA), and Aptos (APT) also recorded gains between 2.29% and 2.57%.
The distribution of gains across multiple sectors, including derivatives, AI, privacy, decentralized exchanges, and meme tokens, points to a broad-based uptick in market participation.
