Looking deeper into the segments of the cryptocurrency market, out of 16 sub-sectors, 5 showed positive growth while 11 faced declines. The RWA, PayFi, and DePIN sectors were particularly notable, with RWA suffering a 2.05% drop, driven by significant losses in MGT and ondo. On the other hand, PayFi saw a 2.56% downturn, led by nim and kasta. This indicates a challenging environment for many altcoins as we approach the end of the year.
