DeFi researcher Ignas identified trading, artificial intelligence and privacy tokens as the only three groups to outperform Bitcoin (BTC) this year. His roundup listed VVV with the largest named gain, at 1,431%.

The trading group included DRV, up 665%; HYPE, up 200%; PUMP, up 121%; and RAY, up 106%. Ignas linked trading tokens’ performance to fee revenue from speculative activity and buybacks intended to support token value.

For AI-linked tokens, the roundup listed NEAR up 203% and GRASS up 151%, alongside VVV. Privacy tokens ZEC and XMR gained 137% and 37%, respectively. Ignas also cited QNT and MORPHO under an institutional-adoption theme; they gained 173% and 89%.
