Gate.io News Bot Message, December 18, 2025. According to CoinMarketCap market data, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a noticeable correction, with several mainstream coins and popular tokens recording double-digit declines. The following are the top five cryptocurrencies by decline over the past 24 hours:
1️⃣ LEO (UNUS SED LEO)
📉 Current Price: $7.53 | Decline: -17.70%
📊 24H High/Low: $9.17 / $6.86 | Market Cap: $6,945,653,887.64
⚠️ As an exchange ecosystem token, LEO has come under significant pressure during this market correction, with a double-digit decline, reflecting the impact of decreased market risk appetite on exchange tokens.
2️⃣ PUMP (Pump.fun)
📉 Current Price: $0.203 | Decline: -11.54%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.23 / $0.203 | Market Cap: $720,659,803.12
⚠️ Although PUMP has been active in token buybacks (total buybacks exceeding $205 million, with 13.8% of circulating supply burned), the ongoing four-month decline in trading volume indicates fundamental pressure that is difficult to reverse. Additionally, large whale transfers to exchanges may raise market concerns.
3️⃣ ASTER (Aster)
📉 Current Price: $0.709 | Decline: -9.91%
📊 24H High/Low: $0.78 / $0.704 | Market Cap: $1,770,369,841.67
⚠️ Although ASTER has made breakthroughs in product innovation (such as the launch of Shield Mode and the start of the fifth-phase airdrop), recent risks include large token unlocks, whale sell-offs, and high leverage trading environments, which have caused short-term pressure.
4️⃣ TAO (Bittensor)
📉 Current Price: $233.97 | Decline: -9.34%
📊 24H High/Low: $259.94 / $232.10 | Market Cap: $2,458,807,514.19
⚠️ After the first halving (reducing daily issuance from 7,200 to 3,600 tokens), TAO’s supply inflation pressure has eased, which is a long-term positive. However, in the short term, the market still needs to digest the supply-demand balance post-halving, and the institutional allocation expectations brought by the listing of Grayscale Trust products have not yet been fully reflected.
5️⃣ CAKE (PancakeSwap)
📉 Current Price: $1.85 | Decline: -9.20%
📊 24H High/Low: $2.06 / $1.84 | Market Cap: $623,773,460.32
⚠️ As a DEX ecosystem token, CAKE has declined under the influence of the overall market correction. Additionally, Senator Elizabeth Warren’s warnings about DEXs posing national security risks may have negatively impacted market sentiment.
📉 Market Summary: The current cryptocurrency market is in a correction cycle. The five cryptocurrencies above have all experienced significant declines, mainly due to decreased risk appetite, fundamental pressures such as declining trading volume and large unlocks, and rising policy risk expectations. Although some tokens have positive news (such as PUMP’s buyback plan, TAO’s halving completion, ASTER’s product innovations), short-term market sentiment volatility remains dominant.
