Liquid Restaking and RWA Tokens Surge, DeFi and DEXs Falter

The crypto market has seen significant gains in real-world asset (RWA) tokens and liquid restaking protocols, outperforming decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in the current market cycle. RWA tokens have led the sector with a 295% increase, while liquid restaking has gained 234%. On the other hand, DeFi and DEXs have experienced a decline in performance, with drops of -15% and -27.5% respectively, due to the unlocking of around $1.6 billion in value. Derivatives and gaming tokens also saw major price drops and decreasing popularity. The market cycle has favored Solana, Tron, and Ethereum meme coins, as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and RWA tokens. However, blue chip tokens like XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) have not shown significant price increases.
