The cryptocurrency market started the new week with an optimistic outlook. Bitcoin (BTC) approached the $ 85,000 level again, creating a short-term recovery atmosphere in the markets. However, despite this rise, most crypto assets continued to follow a sideways trend. BTC, which gained only 3.33 percent in the last 24 hours, was trading at $ 87,552.

The basis of this cautious stance is US President Donald Trump's decision to postpone customs duties on countries other than China for 90 days. Trump, who made statements that would create uncertainty in trade policies throughout the weekend, temporarily relieved the pressure on global markets with his statement on Monday morning. However, the fact that investors still could not find a clear direction caused a sideways price movement in crypto assets in general.

The altcoin market was mixed. Ethereum (ETH) reached $ 1,648 in the last 24 hours due to technical selling pressure and on-chain discussions. The suggestion to use the RISC-V architecture instead of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) was also effective in this movement in ETH. On the other hand, XRP had difficulty overcoming the $ 2.17 resistance it tested throughout the week. The total market value of the crypto market reached $ 2.76 trillion. However, technical indicators show that a strong breakout is still needed for a new wave of growth.

On the other hand, despite the suppressed appearance of the market, some altcoins managed to differentiate positively. In particular, artificial intelligence-based projects, Layer-1 infrastructures and Bitcoin-based applications stood out on investors' radars.

Stacks (STX).

STX, the cryptocurrency of the Stacks protocol that enables smart contracts and dApps to be built on the Bitcoin network, became the highest-rising altcoin of the day due to the increase in institutional interest in the chain following successful Bitcoin ETFs, the increase in interest in Bitcoin-based DeFi projects, and the renewed trust in Stacks at the center of the ecosystem. As of writing, STX was trading at $0.704, up 12.67 percent in the last 24 hours.

Decentraland (MANA).

MANA has seen a remarkable increase in value thanks to new platform updates, an expanded virtual event calendar, and renewed institutional interest in metaverse projects. MANA was trading at $0.320, up 10.66% in the last 24 hours.

Bittensor (TAO)

TAO, the native token of Bittensor, a decentralized blockchain network focused on artificial intelligence, has increased investors’ expectations for a rise with the upward breakout from the falling wedge formation it has shown in technical analysis in recent days and the strong closings above the 200-period moving average that followed. TAO was trading at $324.05, up 6.75 percent in the last 24 hours.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET)

Artificial FET, a combination of AI-based decentralized protocols, has entered an uptrend thanks to the increasing optimism around the Fetch ai, ASI network, investor interest in the artificial general intelligence (AGI) space, and the upcoming token merger process. In addition, the rise in Nvidia and other AI-focused technology stocks supported the interest in crypto AI projects, while positive signals in technical indicators also triggered the buy-side volume. FET was trading at $0.602, up 6.01 percent in the last 24 hours.

Injective (INJ)

INJ, the cryptocurrency of the Cosmos SDK-based decentralized finance protocol Injective, continued its upward trend thanks to the approved INJ 3.0 update, the deflationary tokenomic model based on supply constraints, new AI-supported integrations, and the increasing transaction volume in the ecosystem. In particular, the increasing staking returns and the expanding usage areas with dApps such as Helix strengthened investor interest. INJ was trading at $8.90, up 6 percent in the last 24 hours.
