Crypto Trends 14 – 20 Apr 2025: Market Analysis and Performance

The crypto market closes another troublesome week of intense volatility. As the financial world struggles with consistent uncertainty, most cryptocurrencies face significant losses across the board. Meanwhile, the market capitalization decreased by over $40 billion, reaching $2.66 trillion.

Bitcoin had a turbulent week with many ups and downs. The king of cryptocurrencies surged as high as $86,000 and dropped as low as $82,000, repeating this movement repeatedly. The bright side is that BTC remained comfortably above $80,000. This fact should reassure Bitcoin supporters of the asset’s newfound stability. Currently, BTC is trading at a little over $84,000.

Ethereum continues its disappointing run, even if it didn’t lose much of its value this week. The second crypto in command failed to recover after a disastrous week. Now, it records a 1% drop, but the sad journey toward the wrong side of the $1.5K barrier is certain.

Altcoins & DeFi

Most altcoins are trading in the red, with very few exceptions. For example, XRP is down by 6%, Solana Cardano by 5%, TRON by 1%, Avalanche by 2%, Sui by 8%, and Stellar by 1%. Solana is among the very few climbers this week, showcasing an 8% increase.

The memecoins are showing minor improvements. For instance, Dogecoin is down by 6%. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu is up 2% and Pepecoin 3%.

The Metaverse sector has also seen notable movements in the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity is down by 3%, Stacks by 1%, and Floki by 2%. Meanwhile, Decentraland is up by 6%, Render by 11%, and ApeCoin by 8%. The Sandbox increased by 1%, MultiversX by 3%, and Ziliqa by 4%.

The DeFi sector decreased the total value in locked protocols (TVL) by nearly $1 billion to reach $89.64 billion.
