Crypto Trends for the Week of Nov. 24-30, 2025: Market Analysis and Performance

The cryptocurrency market made an unexpected recovery after one of its recent slumps. Most cryptocurrencies have recently been trading healthily into the green, hoping to recover as much as possible before the year’s end. Meanwhile, the market capitalization has returned above the $3 trillion threshold, following a $160 billion increase.

Bitcoin gained over $10,000 over the past week, as it has started to trade above the $90,000 mark again. The king of crypto was in danger of falling below $80,000 only ten days ago. Now, it seems to be trying to gain enough momentum for another successful attack on the $100,000 level.

Ethereum also gained enough to return above the $3,000 mark, a psychologically daunting level for the second-largest cryptocurrency. With only a month left in 2025, Ethereum will likely try to cement its position above $3,000. However, another climb above the $4,000 threshold may be less likely.

Altcoins & DeFi

Most altcoins have been seen trading in the green, though some notable exceptions remain. For example, XRP moved up 7%, Solana moved up 4%, Cardano moved up 2%, Avalanche is up 6%, Sui moved up 12%, Chainlink moved up 5%, and TRON moved up 3%. On the other hand, Zcash fell down 24%.

The memecoins have also shifted in interesting ways in recent trading. For instance, Dogecoin moved up 2%, Shiba Inu moved up 7%, and Pepecoin moved up 12%.

The Metaverse sector similarly witnessed some notable movements over the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity fell down 1%, The Sandbox fell down 1%, and Floki rose by 4%. Meanwhile, Decentraland moved down 2%, Render moved up 1%, and ApeCoin moved down 8%. Stacks decreased by 1% and MultiversX by 6%. Meanwhile, Virtuals increased by 3%.

The DeFi sector gained nearly $4 billion in total value locked (TVL), bringing the total to about $119.76 billion.

What’s in the News?

• Amundi, the largest asset manager in Europe, has launched the first Ethereum tokenized share of a money market fund, called AMUNDI FUNDS CASH EUR.

Next Week’s Crypto Market Forecast

The cryptocurrency market seems to be bullish once again after a catastrophic period that saw it lose over $1 trillion in market capitalization. Most crypto assets have been trading happily in the green. However, the month ahead is a traditionally bearish December, which may reverse this upbeat trend soon. Hopefully, this year will make an exception, and the bears will not return.
