Crypto Trends for the Week of June 23-29, 2025: Market Analysis and Performance

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a surprising revival following months of extreme volatility. The past week saw significant movements in international politics, including a periodic ceasefire between Iran and Israel, mitigated by US President Donald Trump.

The recent events helped the global financial world to recover slightly, with the cryptocurrency market making a spectacular return to form. As a result, most cryptocurrencies recorded impressive gains, and the market capitalization increased to around $3.32 trillion.

Bitcoin started the week trading closer to $100,000. However, it soon recovered to increase steadily with every hour. Positive news from the recent international conflicts helped the king of cryptocurrencies gain even more terrain. The recent value spike helped BTC close in on the much-coveted $110,000 level. Recently, Bitcoin has been trading at a little over $108,000.

Ethereum has finally been trading in the green again. The second crypto in command was in danger of dropping below the psychologically daunting level of $2,000. However, the market’s positive turn helped it recover substantially. Following an 8% increase, ETH has been hoping to cement its position at around $2,500.

Altcoins & DeFi

Most altcoins have been trading in the green, with only a few exceptions. For example, XRP moved up by 9%, Solana moved up by 14%, Cardano moved up by 4%, Avalanche moved up by 8%, Sui moved up by 12%, Chainlink moved up by 13%, Hyperliquid moved up by 16%, and Stellar moved up by 3%.

The memecoins have not been faring any differently, either. For instance, Dogecoin increased by 6%.

The Metaverse sector has also witnessed some notable movements over the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity moved up 9%, Stacks moved up 19%, and Floki moved up 17%. Meanwhile, Decentraland rose by 8%, Render rose by 16%, and ApeCoin rose by 9%. The Sandbox increased by 4% and MultiversX by 10%. Additionally, Virtuals moved up by 23%.

The DeFi sector added over $8 billion from the total value locked in protocols (TVL), surging to around $112.34 billion.

What’s in the News?

• Chainlink has teamed up with MasterCard to enable 3 billion MasterCard cardholders to buy cryptocurrency seamlessly.

Next Week’s Crypto Market Forecast

The cryptocurrency market has enjoyed some of its better days in recent memory. It’s worth noting that the last time the market surged in such a spectacular fashion, Bitcoin went from $ 60,000 to $100,000. Hopefully, the recent positive trend will help the entire market test for new limits.
