Digital asset markets are having a week of widespread losses. As proof of this, 84 assets in the top 100 market caps are falling weekly, with Bitcoin (BTC) losing its $70,000 level.
In this framework, the assets that have felt the most downward pressure over the past seven days are: Decrease (DCR), 15.34% decrease. Polkadot (DOT), loss of 15.02%. and RIVER is down 14.88%.
The following image provided by CoinMarketCap shows the 10 cryptocurrencies and tokens that have fallen the most over the past week.
However, in this negative scenario, Three cryptocurrencies stand out with positive returns close to or exceeding 10%: memecore (M), dexe (DEXE), and bitsor (TAO).
In both cases, increases do not respond solely to general market trends, but to specific catalysts.
What influences the price of M?
Memecore leads the way in terms of weekly increase rate. The price went from $1.68 to $2.08, an increase of 24%..
The move comes after the project reported on March 24 that: completed activation of hard fork on the network.
As explained by Criptonoticias, a hard fork is an advanced technical update to a digital asset network that introduces changes to the protocol rules.
For Memecore, this update includes two important improvements. Significant reduction in transaction fees (from 1,500 Gwei to 15 Gwei) Implementing account abstraction is a technology that enables more flexible transactions and a user experience closer to traditional applications.
The result is a cheaper and more efficient network, increasing the likelihood of adoption, which explains the positive price response.
Dex takes center stage in the bear market
This token also showed positive performance, rising from $6.17 to $7.16, representing a 16% increase.
It is a governance token for projects focused on creating and managing decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), i.e. digital structures where decisions are made through programmed rules and network voting.
The reason for its rise is connected to a new story. Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) in governance. On March 13, the project published a message expecting the participation of an AI agent within the DAO that can not only assist with resources, but also make suggestions, vote on, and manage them.
Within this line, DeXe develops the so-called AgentBound Token (ABT). This serves as a non-transferable credential to record the reputation and behavior of these agents. The logic is to introduce programmable responsibilities within the system.
Bitensor also resists downward pressure
In that respect, bitsor (TAO) price went from $299.69 to $327.40This represents an increase of 9%.
In this case, the movement is Explained by increased staking on Bittensor subnets. On March 26, the value locked increased from zero to $691 million in 13 months.
When users allocate TAO to staking, their funds are locked and temporarily taken out of circulation, reducing selling pressure and available supply on the market.
Furthermore, at the end of 2025, Bittensor will reach a halving period, which will reduce the amount of new coins issued by half. As fewer new TAOs enter the market and more TAOs become locked into staking, the liquid supply decreases and (if there is enough demand) could encourage price appreciation.
The fact that TAO and DEXE are in the top five for best weekly performance shows the current interest in assets related to AI.
Despite the strong performance of these three assets, the general direction of the market continues to be driven by Bitcoin. If the most valuable assets do not recover in the near term, the market will continue to show vulnerability and behave differently across projects.
