Gate News Bot Message, December 29, 2025. According to CoinMarketCap market data, the cryptocurrency market shows a divergent trend in the later holiday period, with institutional funds focusing on RWA and privacy sectors, and some tokens rallying against the trend. Below are the top five performers in the past 24 hours:
1️⃣ CC (Canton)
📈 Current Price: $0.13 | Change: +15.16%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.14 / $0.11 | Market Cap: $4.888 billion
💡 Canton Network surged against the trend during Christmas night, driven by the long-term institutional narrative of RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization and compliant privacy infrastructure. The market generally views its network architecture, which integrates capital markets and blockchain value, favorably. With 37 super validator nodes and 622 validator nodes, daily transaction fees reach up to $793,000, demonstrating strong ecosystem vitality.
2️⃣ NIGHT (Midnight)
📈 Current Price: $0.906 | Change: +4.57%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.91 / $0.84 | Market Cap: $1.506 billion
💡 Midnight, as a privacy extension layer within the Cardano ecosystem, continues to attract attention. Gate Launchpool’s 351st round has launched NIGHT mining, allowing users to stake BTC, ETH, and NIGHT to share airdrops of 2.25 million tokens. The event runs from December 26 to January 5. Charles Hoskinson clarified that NIGHT aims to enhance, not replace, ADA. This clarification alleviates market concerns, and the prospects for privacy smart contracts based on zero-knowledge proofs are optimistic.
3️⃣ ZEC (Zcash)
📈 Current Price: $535.81 | Change: +4.42%
📊 24H High/Low: $539.80 / $511.92 | Market Cap: $8.819 billion
💡 Zcash, as the first privacy payment token utilizing zero-knowledge encryption technology, has recently benefited from multiple positive factors. On-chain data shows several whales opening long positions in ZEC, with some institutions already profiting over $5 million. The number of whales opening positions on Hyperliquid has increased to 11. After stabilizing above $400, ZEC shows a clear bullish triangle pattern, with market expectations of a 45% upside potential.
4️⃣ UNI (Uniswap)
📈 Current Price: $6.25 | Change: +4.25%
📊 24H High/Low: $6.52 / $6.00 | Market Cap: $4.565 billion
💡 The Uniswap community approved the “UNIfication” proposal with an overwhelming majority (about 125 million UNI votes), which will burn 100 million UNI tokens (worth $596 million) and activate fee switches for v2/v3 on the Unichain mainnet. Meanwhile, Uniswap has reduced all application and API interface fees to zero, strengthening its industry leadership. The token burn mechanism has fueled market expectations for a revaluation of UNI’s value.
5️⃣ TON (Toncoin)
📈 Current Price: $1.66 | Change: +4.13%
📊 24H High/Low: $1.67 / $1.60 | Market Cap: $4.09 billion
💡 Toncoin has gained attention through traditional sports sponsorships. Gate partnered with the Red Bull Racing F1 team to launch the Boxie co-branded animated emoji series, limited to 888 sets via a subscription registration system, each valued at $30 worth of TON. This move demonstrates TON ecosystem’s frontier exploration in Web3 community engagement and innovation, blending racing culture with digital expression to attract a broader user base.
📊 Market Summary and Investor Focus
The current market exhibits clear sector differentiation: privacy tokens (ZEC, NIGHT, CC) continue to attract institutional funds driven by RWA empowerment and compliance needs; DEX leader UNI is reshaping expectations with its deflationary mechanism and zero-fee policy; public chain ecosystem tokens like TON are expanding application boundaries through cross-sector collaborations. Overall, liquidity has recovered post-holiday, but investors are more rational, focusing more on practical application progress and long-term ecosystem development. Blockchain infrastructure emphasizing both privacy and compliance is becoming a key focus for institutional deployment, warranting close investor attention.

BTC 15-minute chart slightly down 0.57%: leveraged long positions passively cut risk and macro sentiment disturbances drive volatility
2026-04-12 12:45 to 13:00 (UTC), the BTC price range was 71081.7 to 71493.2 USDT, with an amplitude of 0.58%. Within 15 minutes, the return recorded was -0.57%. During the period of unusual activity, market volatility increased somewhat, risk sentiment warmed up, and overall attention rose; however, there was no extreme surge in volume or a sudden drop in liquidity.
The main driver behind this unusual activity is that, under the leverage structure, long positions were reduced passively. Recently, the funding rate for perpetual contracts turned from negative to positive. Leverage among longs in the market accumulated; the price dipped slightly, triggering liquidations of some leveraged long positions and sell orders for position closures, resulting in

CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost says the Bitcoin market is entering an early stabilization phase, with stronger long-term holding behavior.
