Decred Surges 80% in Four Weeks, Tops All Top-100 Tokens as Bitcoin Stalls Near $67,000

Decred (DCR) climbed 16% in the past 24 hours to $34.58, its highest level since November, leading all top-100 tokens with an 80% gain over four weeks following a Feb. 8 change to its treasury rules, CoinDesk data show. Bitcoin (BTC) traded around $67,000 after briefly touching $70,000 on Wednesday and fell 2%, while ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), solana (SOL) and the CoinDesk 20 Index (CD20) posted similar declines as market participants stayed cautious, with Deribit noting ETF holders and corporate treasuries are buying put options at the $60,000 strike expiring in six to 12 months. In the AI-linked segment, Internet Computer (ICP) rose about 6% from roughly $2.41 to $2.56 after the DFINITY Foundation proposed burning 20% of cloud engine revenue while routing the remaining 80% to node operators, amid improved sentiment around artificial intelligence tokens such as render (RENDER) and bittensor (TAO) following Nvidia's strong earnings. Vikram Subburaj, CEO of Giottus.com, said in an email that long-term investors may favor staggered accumulation near support zones instead of deploying lump sums at resistance.
