The recent surge in the cryptocurrency market has halted, leading to a renewed decline across the board. According to SoSoValue’s data from March 14, Bitcoin (BTC) 
$91,081 has decreased by 2.77% and Ethereum (ETH) 
$3,094 by 1.23% in the last 24 hours. In contrast, the SocialFi, CeFi, PayFi, and NFT categories have shown stronger resilience compared to other crypto segments.
Strong Performance in SocialFi, CeFi, PayFi, and NFT
SocialFi has notably risen by 3.04% in the past day, despite the overall market downturn. The prominent token in this category, Toncoin (TON), has increased by 2.34%. The performance index for SocialFi, ssiSocialFi, also reflected this gain of 3.04% in the last 24 hours. However, the weekly returns remain negative, showing a decline of 5.96%.
The SocialFi segment, integrated with social networks and media platforms, indicates that investor interest persists in this area, diverging from the overall market situation.
CeFi also performed positively with a 0.20% increase, driven mainly by the growth of the altcoin BNB, which rose by 1.49%. This rise was influenced by Abu Dhabi-based investment company MGX’s announcement of a $2 billion investment in the cryptocurrency exchange. The ssiCeFi index saw a similar increase of 0.20% in the past 24 hours but has faced a 3.32% decline over the week.
Other Cryptocurrency Segments’ Status
Conversely, mixed trends are observed in other cryptocurrency segments. The Layer 1 category dropped by 0.55%, while the memecoin category saw a decline of 1.33%. The only significant positive movement in the memecoin sector was observed in OFFICIAL TRUMP (TRUMP) token, which gained 9.43% in value.
DeFi and Layer 2 categories have experienced losses exceeding the market average, with DeFi seeing a 1.93% drop and Layer 2 declining by 2.31%. The current landscape in the cryptocurrency market underscores notable differences in risk perception among investors, indicating varying demand levels across different segments.
