Altcoins gave back part of their earlier gains on Sept. 28 after a strong morning rally, according to HTX market data cited by BlockBeats. QNT dropped from $304 to $278, with its gain narrowing from 103% to 59%. JASMY also cooled sharply, with its advance shrinking from 16% to 4%, while IMX fell back from a 17% gain to 6%. ORCA, NMR, ONDO, and NIGHT had each risen about 10% earlier in the day, but their gains later slipped into single digits. A broader group of tokens, including W, CETUS, JUP, SUI, MET, WOO, and CVX, also surrendered part of their 24-hour advances. Not every token weakened, though. AUDIO, which was up 14% in the morning, later showed a 24-hour gain of 20%. ONE followed a similar pattern, moving from a 14% morning rise to a 21% gain over 24 hours. BlockBeats also noted that MARSCOIN and Niulai stayed strong after Binance said it would support the airdrop plan for SpaceX (SPCXB) to MarsCoin (MARSCOIN) holders, as well as the airdrop plan for Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQB) to Niulai holders. MARSCOIN’s market capitalization was temporarily reported at $140 million, while Niulai’s stood at $109 million.
