According to Milk Road, the best performing crypto sectors over the past 30 days highlight strong gains in staking services (+3.3%), Ethereum (ETH) (+3.2%), and Bitcoin (BTC) (+2.1%), while exchange tokens (-3.9%) and privacy coins (-4%) lag behind (source: Milk Road Twitter, June 17, 2025). This sector performance suggests traders are favoring decentralized yield opportunities and major layer-1 blockchains, indicating a shift in capital allocation towards lower-risk, yield-generating assets. The underperformance of exchange tokens and privacy coins may signal reduced risk appetite or regulatory headwinds, which could influence near-term crypto market strategies.
