The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of weakness as several major altcoins, including 
XRP, 
Zcash, 
Cardano, and Near Protocol, face downward price pressure. These coins are all trading below key support levels, indicating potential further declines.
Near Protocol's Total Value Locked (TVL) has dropped by 14.8% over the past week, currently standing at $112.46 million, according to DeFiLlama. This decline in TVL suggests a decrease in user activity and interest in the Near ecosystem.
Market data shows that XRP is trading at $1.26, up 0.48% in the last 24 hours but down 5.25% over the past week. Zcash is at $1212.51, up 4.89% in the last day but down 7.02% over the week. Cardano is at $0.187902, down 1.03% in the last 24 hours and 8.48% over the week.
The overall cryptocurrency market cap remains relatively flat at $2.65 trillion, with 
Bitcoin showing a slight 24-hour decline of 0.15%. The Fear & Greed Index is at 34, indicating that market sentiment is still in 'Fear' territory.
This widespread decline in altcoin prices suggests a broader market trend of risk aversion. Investors may be moving away from altcoins and towards safer assets amid uncertain market conditions.

The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₦1,730.04 (about $1.25), up 0.1% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.8% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
