The cryptocurrency market slid lower on Dec. 28 as the price of Bitcoin (BTC) lost nearly $4,000 in value in a matter of hours with bulls now looking to secure support at $48,500 to prevent further losses.
In the midst of the market-wide drawdown, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector of the crypto ecosystem has offered some traders shelter from the storm, with several tokens seeing gains in excess of 30%.
Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that the biggest gainers over the past 24 hours were Harvest Finance (FARM), QuickSwap (QUICK) and Aragon (ANT).
