This month's altcoin rally showcases notable divergence from Bitcoin's trajectory. ICP leads the pack with an impressive +28.59% surge, followed by strong performances from SUI (+12.30%) and APT (+10.75%). The momentum extends through layer-1 and utility tokens—ALGO climbed 7.47%, NEAR 6.76%, and DOT 6.64%, while TON, AVAX, and SOL added 4.84%, 4.76%, and 4.20% respectively.

Ethereum's modest +1.04% gain reflects consolidation, while ARB and XRP barely moved. The pullback side tells another story: LINK softened by -0.54%, TAO retreated -1.52%, and HBAR dipped -3.07%, signaling selective profit-taking in certain sectors.

This monthly snapshot reveals altcoins outpacing Bitcoin across diverse use cases—from smart contract platforms to infrastructure layers—while some exposure tokens faced headwinds.

ICP rises by 28 points? Laughing then crying, this is a call for us to redefine risk appetite. But speaking of which, seeing such a wide data divergence, it feels like big funds are carefully selecting their targets—everyone knows who to cut. --- Mainstream coins are all lying flat, while small-cap tokens are actually getting lively? The meme king says, this is what it means to be good at cooking—knowing when to add heavy oil. --- HBAR drops 3 points and is bleeding, but someone is still dancing with ICP at 28 points... Today's leek farmer’s diary adds a new chapter. --- Having seen through it all, the mainstream bear market indicators, small-cap tokens are dancing—this scene seems to be saying: retail investors can't play this game of mine. --- With tears in my eyes, I say that LINK and TAO are plunging, while some L1s are going crazy. The market's selective choices are just like how I pick my meals.

ICP up 28%? Come on, it's good enough if this rebound lasts until the end of the month... Speaking of which, SOL only rose 4%, now that's the real big brother style.

ICP this wave really exploded, 28%? Feels like another wave of cutting leeks... But I have to admit, L1s are really competing, why is it that Ethereum only rose by 1%, that's a bit outrageous.

ICP up 28 points? What kind of crazy trend is this... But speaking of which, this wave of altcoins collectively taking off is somewhat meaningful, but the 1-point increase in ETH is really disappointing, it feels like everyone is playing differentiation.
