The cryptocurrency market for the period from 20 to 25 October 2025 showed signs of cautious recovery after sharp fluctuations at the beginning of the month. According to data from CoinDesk, Binance and CryptoRank, amid stabilisation of the macroeconomic background, the leading crypto assets showed moderate growth, but remained highly volatile.
Bitcoin for the week strengthened by about 2-3%, again rising above the mark of 110 thousand dollars. Experts note that holding this level could be a key signal of restoring investor confidence. Ethereum also grew by 2-3% and consolidated above $4,000, reflecting the continued interest in the ecosystem of smart contracts and decentralised applications.
Among altcoins, XRP stood out, adding about 5% and becoming one of the growth leaders in the top ten of the market. Solana and Binance Coin (BNB) showed minimal changes, ranging from zero to one per cent, remaining steady but without notable momentum. Cardano grew by about two per cent, continuing to grow its own ecosystem. Dogecoin added about 3 per cent amid renewed interest from retail investors.
Chainlink and HYPE token grew the strongest during the week – by 10-14% and 30-40% respectively. Analysts attribute this to the increased interest in infrastructure projects and niche solutions that can offer new technologies of interaction in the blockchain environment. Avalanche ended the week with a slight growth of about 2%.
According to experts, the main factor of the week was the gradual return of liquidity to the market. Despite the high outflow of funds from cryptocurrency ETFs, investors began to cautiously build up positions in large assets. Tightening expectations of the US Federal Reserve policy easing and slowing growth of government bond yields became an additional stimulus for the market.
At the same time, the regulatory background remains tense: the Financial Stability Board (FSB) reminded about the need to unify the rules of cryptocurrency circulation in different countries. This caused a temporary decline in interest in risky assets, but by the end of the week the market partially recovered.
Among the key trends, analysts note the continued dominance of Bitcoin, whose share exceeds 58% of market capitalisation. At the same time, moderate growth of interest in some altcoins may signal the beginning of capital rotation phase and gradual shift of emphasis towards technological projects.
In general, the week ended positively for the market: the total capitalisation of cryptocurrencies is kept near $3.8 trillion. Experts warn that new correction waves are possible amid uncertainty and weak liquidity, but the fundamentals of the market leaders remain stable.
