Recent 15-minute snapshot of USDT perpetual trading activity shows mixed market momentum across major assets.

Strength flows into select altcoins—Tanssi climbing 3.27%, Vanar up 1.73%, and Decentraland gaining 1.7%. These modest rallies suggest selective buying pressure in gaming and infrastructure tokens.

Meanwhile, weakness persists in DeFi and NFT spaces. Frax Finance takes the lead on downside with a 2.67% slide, trailed by Mind Network (down 2.12%) and SuperRare shedding 2.08%. The broader pattern hints at profit-taking or sector rotation.

On the volume front, stablecoin dominance remains unshaken, with USDC commanding the highest trading throughput—a typical signal of preparation for larger moves or risk-off positioning in current market conditions.

The increase in game coins is so sluggish, feels like there's nothing to watch. If DeFi crashes like this, who would dare to buy the dip... With such high USDC trading volume, are the big players布局 or跑路? Can we trust Tanssi's small rise this time? Feels like just a scam to harvest retail investors. NFTs are really dead; even SuperRare has fallen this much. Looking at the USDC volume... feels like the next wave of sell-off is coming. Gaming tokens won't last long; the next one will definitely crash again.

Game coins rise and fall, DeFi is bleeding again... This time, it's really a rotation. --- With USDC trading volume so high, it feels like someone is hoarding and waiting to dump. --- Tanssi only went up 3 points and is already hyping? I've seen too many fake breakouts like this. --- NFTs are abandoned again, thought this time it could turn around. --- The dominance of stablecoins is so strong, it shows that big players are just watching the show. --- DeFi is all green, it's about to collapse... feels like it's time to exit. --- Gaming tokens suddenly surge, there must be something behind it. --- Sector rotation? Let's call it rotation in a nice way, but honestly, it's just funds fleeing.

Once again, this 15-minute data is really enough... Gaming token is rising again, I wish I hadn't sold Decentraland, mmp DeFi collapsed again, my Frax is trapped... Is the USDC trading volume exploding because everyone is preparing to run away? This market trend can be summed up in one word: chaos

It's the same story again, gaming tokens rise a bit and everyone follows suit, DeFi crashes and no one is buying... Is this real or what? --- USDC trading volume is the highest? Fine, someone is about to get chopped again. --- Tanssi, a small coin, rises by 3 points and people start talking about selective buying. Laughable, just a signal to dump. --- Frax drops 2.67%? I was bottom fishing during these times. Don't tell me it's profit taking. --- Every time it's stablecoin dominance, and half an hour later it crashes. Newcomers who don't understand, take note. --- Sector rotation sounds very professional, but actually someone is just running away. Face the reality, everyone. --- I just want to know who made money in these 15 minutes. It definitely wasn't us. --- NFT dropped again. Luckily, I didn't touch that stuff.
