Today's strongest performers across major and emerging tokens:
DASH surged 21.9%, while RAIL climbed 21.1% as Layer 2 solutions gained traction. Story Protocol IP tokens jumped 19.3%, reflecting growing NFT ecosystem activity. Monero XMR added 15.5% in the privacy-focused rally, joined by CORN at 14.7% and EDU at 14.3%.
Lower-cap movers kept pace—Verge XVG +13.1%, Thena THE +11%, Rock DAO +10.3%, and BankrBot BNKR +8.6%.
The broader sentiment shows strength across DeFi, privacy coins, and emerging Layer 2 infrastructure plays. Worth tracking these movers for potential support levels.

Privacy coins are taking off again, feels like XMR won't drop back so quickly this time
---
Is Layer2 really about to take off? RAIL's recent surge is a bit outrageous
---
Haha, DASH is acting up again, this rhythm will probably crash sooner or later
---
Can NFT ecosystems still be played? Looks like I need to pay attention to Story Protocol again
---
Small-cap coins are also rising, the bottom should be over
---
This round of DeFi rebound feels a bit fake, is the support level really that solid?
---
XMR and privacy coins are surging... Is there some news or is it purely technical?
---
They've all surged over 20%. What kind of market is this? Do you dare to get in?

L2 is on the rise, with DASH and RAIL soaring together. Privacy coins are not resting either; XMR, this old-timer, still has followers.
---
Privacy coins are causing a stir again, but this time it feels really different.
---
Wait, CORN up 14.7%? What kind of coin is this? Never heard of it.
---
The DeFi market this round is a bit crazy; small-cap tokens are also rising.
---
Story Protocol is hot? Is the NFT ecosystem about to take off again? Brothers, it's time to get on board.
---
Is it serious that DASH broke 20%? Feels like a pullback is coming.
---
L2 infrastructure stocks are so strong. Is it genuine demand or just another hype...
---
Small tokens like Rock DAO can rise 10%, indicating the market is really looking for opportunities.
---
Old coins like XMR can still rise, showing that the story of privacy coins is not over yet.
---
Support levels are key; don't get carried away by this wave of market movement.

Once again, the market is like this, with all layer2 projects soaring. I just want to know when the correction will happen.
---
Privacy coins are on the rise this time. Is it finally Monero's turn?
---
Dash has increased by over 20 points, and I was actually sleeping.
---
The IP concept of story protocol suddenly came back to life. NFTs really won't die.
---
Those low-market-cap coins are just following the trend and rising. I've never seen one that can hold steady.
---
Looking at this upward trend, we need to keep observing. The support level is very important.
---
Privacy coins are moving in tandem. It feels like the market sentiment has shifted.
---
Daily market updates like this—when will there be a big wave?
