Crypto Market Divergence: Infrastructure and Privacy Assets Surge Ahead

The cryptocurrency market has been characterized by a clear divergence between sectors on May 25. While infrastructure projects, privacy-focused assets, and exchange-related tokens have attracted significant capital inflows, several previously popular altcoins have lagged behind.

HYPE, the native token of Hyperliquid, continued to be a focal point after reaching a fresh record above $63 over the weekend. The token's multi-week rally has made it the standout performer across major digital assets.

Modular infrastructure projects such as Celestia also gained renewed attention on May 25. Celestia's TIA token rallied by more than 20% and closed above a key resistance zone, suggesting that traders are leaning into the modular blockchain thesis.

Privacy assets, including Monero, drew renewed interest due to revisited privacy-related narratives. The momentum-driven trading continued in Sei, which remains on the radar of public trackers after a strong rally earlier in the month.
