Crypto markets posted broad gains over the past 24 hours, led by a sharp rebound in NFTs and steady upside in major tokens. Sector data from Coingecko shows the NFT category climbing nearly 6 percent, with smaller-cap names such as Audiera jumping more than 60 percent. Bitcoin briefly reclaimed the $89,000 level and Ethereum broke above $3,000, helping lift related sectors including RWA, Layer 1, DeFi and Meme assets. A handful of pockets lagged: AI-linked tokens and Layer 2s edged lower despite isolated winners. Sector index readings signal improving sentiment across real-world asset, Layer 1, and centralized finance baskets.
