The post Crypto market splits as RaveDAO soars 200% while Polkadot, Zcash slide appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

RaveDAO jumps over 200% while Polkadot, Zcash and Dash slide, underscoring how idiosyncratic token stories now dominate a crypto market still digesting macro shocks and regulatory risk.
