End-of-year market activities are starting to show new movements, with several cryptocurrencies rotating and rising recently, each telling a different story.

$BANANA is the fastest mover, with a nearly 30% increase in 24 hours. The main expectation comes from the 5% token burn plan at the end of the month, and the market is still receptive to this deflationary logic. However, a closer look reveals that its underlying strategy is to capture market sentiment—positioning itself as a symbol to hedge against market anxiety. Expanding from the gaming sector to the Base chain is about capturing community approval. This enthusiasm, combined with a fundamental bottoming process, suggests short-term momentum could have staying power.

$BIFI has seen an even sharper rise, surpassing 70%. The reason is that DAO voting approved a new profit distribution plan and security upgrades, while the project is also undergoing cross-chain migration from BSC to Ethereum. This move is not just about changing chains; more importantly, it allows access to a larger capital ecosystem, opening up new value capture opportunities.

$ZEC remains relatively stable, but the story is brewing. Grayscale's spot ETF application has been submitted, which will change the narrative framework—from being solely a privacy coin to being recognized as a more mainstream asset class.
