The cryptocurrency market showed mixed and largely range-bound movement over the past 24 hours, with gains in AI, DeFi, and select Layer 1 tokens offset by mild declines in Layer 2 and PayFi sectors. Bitcoin edged up 0.19% to reclaim $87,000, while Ethereum slipped 0.39% but remained near $3,000, as investors rotated selectively into higher-beta tokens such as Canton Network, 0G, and Zcash amid subdued broader momentum. In contrast to traditional markets, the S&P 500 closed at record highs for a second straight session and gold also hit a fresh record as part of an end-of-year rally.
