While Bitcoin bled below $84,000, one metaverse-era name quietly topped the entire CoinDesk 100.

$SAND jumped 9% in 24 hours — its SECOND green day in a week after a 37% run on Oct 2. DeFi fell 6%, memecoins 5%, and almost everything else turned red. Yet SAND kept climbing.

$STX did the same. Up ~6% with futures open interest up 3% — meaning this one has fresh long money behind it, not just short-covering. Even XMR crept into the green.

My take: when the whole market bleeds and money still finds these names, that is rotation, not luck. Fed minutes land later today — that decides whether this green holds.

Dead-cat bounce or real rotation — what do you think?
