Crypto Trends October 20 – 26, 2025: Market Analysis and Performance
The crypto market is experiencing a transient recovery after a terrible period marked by lows. Most cryptocurrencies have recovered within the last seven days. However, they’re still a great distance from recovering their recent losses. Meanwhile, the market capitalization increased by over $190 billion and reached $3.83 trillion.
Bitcoin had one other roller coaster week. However, this time the king of cryptocurrencies ended the week on a high. BTC is trading at around $113,500 after falling by almost $10,000 per week ago. This rapid revival shows that Bitcoin is not any longer as weak or susceptible to sustained declines because it was a couple of years ago.
Ethereum also ends the week with a superb result. The second-largest cryptocurrency reclaimed $4,000 after a painful rally. In fact, Ether was at risk of falling below $3,000 just per week ago. Therefore, this upswing is critical for ETH and its supporters.
Altcoins and DeFi
Most altcoins are trading within the green, although there remain some notable exceptions. 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 opposite hand, BNB is up 1%.
There were also some interesting developments with memecoins. For example, Dogecoin is up 3%, Shiba Inu is up 3%, and Pepecoin is up 3%.
The Metaverse sector has also seen notable moves over the past week. For example, 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 rose 4%, Virtuals rose 55% and MultiversX rose 1%.
