The broader crypto market traded lower over the past 24 hours, with only a handful of sectors showing resilience as risk appetite remained subdued. Data from SoSoValue shows GameFi, AI, and RWA as the only sectors in the green, rising 1.06%, 0.98%, and 0.67% respectively. GameFi outperformed on strong gains in The Sandbox (SAND) and Axie Infinity (AXS), while the AI sector was boosted by a sharp rally in Render (RENDER) and an outsized surge in newly launched Sentient (SENT). RWA tokens also held firm, led by Pendle (PENDLE) and Sky (SKY).
