Crypto Trends 20 – 26 October 2025: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market experiences a brief recovery after a terrible period marked by low lows. Most cryptocurrencies have recovered over the past seven days. However, they are still far from gaining back their recent losses. Meanwhile, the market capitalization gained over $190 billion, reaching $3.83 trillion.

Bitcoin had another rollercoaster week. However, this time around, the king of cryptocurrencies finished the week on a high. BTC is trading around $113,500 after dropping almost $10k a week ago. This swift revival shows that Bitcoin is not as weak or susceptible to sustained drops as it was a few years ago.

Ethereum also finishes the week on a good note. The second-largest crypto in command reclaimed $4,000 after an excruciating rally. In fact, Ether was in danger of dropping even below $3,000 only a week ago. Therefore, this recovery is significant for ETH and its supporters.

Altcoins & DeFi

Most altcoins are trading in the green, though some notable exceptions remain. For example, XRP is up 9%, Solana is up 4%, Cardano is up 2%, Avalanche is down 2%, Sui is up 1%, Chainlink is up 4%, and TRON is down 6%. On the other hand, BNB is up 1%.

The memecoins also saw some interesting trajectories. For instance, Dogecoin is up 3%, Shiba Inu is up 3%, and Pepecoin is up 3%.

The Metaverse sector has also seen notable movements in the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity is up 2%, The Sandbox is up 3%, and Floki is up 9%. Meanwhile, Decentraland is up 4%, Render is down 2%, and ApeCoin is up 10%. Stacks increased by 4%, Virtuals by 55%, and MultiversX by 1%.

The DeFi sector added nearly $1 billion to the total value locked in protocols (TVL), bringing the total to around $150.90 billion.
