1/ 2025 Q3 Crypto Report: The numbers that matter Total market cap hit $4.0T (+16.4%), daily volume surged +43.8% to $155B after two quarters of decline. The market isn't just recovering - it's accelerating. 7 highlights that define the quarter 👇 2/ Stablecoins hit ATH: $287.6B (+18.3% QoQ) Big movers: ▸ USDe: +177.8% growth, jumped from 2% to 5% market share, now #3 stablecoin ▸ USDT: Added $17B (largest absolute gain), but market share dropped 65%→61% ▸ Total now >$300B in early Q4 Translation: Stablecoin demand exploding = capital preparing to deploy. USDe's meteoric rise shows yield-bearing stablecoins winning mindshare. 3/ ETH's monster quarter: $2,502 → $4,946 ATH (+68.5%) ETH hit new ATH of $4,946 in August, closed Q3 at $4,215. Outperformed BTC, SOL, XRP. Volume doubled: $19.5B → $33.4B daily average Catalyst: Institutional treasury buying (Bitmine, SharpLink) + US Spot ETH ETF inflows ETH finally getting its institutional moment. The "ultrasound money" narrative meeting real capital. 4/ BNB's explosive comeback: ATH $1,048 (+57.3% QoQ) After stagnant year, BNB hit $1,030 end-Q3, then $1,369 ATH in Q4. Volume doubled: $0.8B → $1.7B daily Drivers: ▸ Aster perp DEX launch (BNB trading pairs) ▸ PancakeSwap x Binance Alpha integration CZ's return + ecosystem revival = BNB reclaiming top-tier status. The "dead chain" narrative officially dead. 5/ DeFi renaissance: TVL +40.2% to $161B, market cap hit $181B DeFi market share climbed 3.3% → 4.0% as sector roared back. Catalyst: ETH surge + stablecoin narrative + new perp DEX token launches (AVNT, ASTER) Reality check: DeFi isn't dead - it was just waiting for the right macro conditions. When ETH moves, DeFi follows. 6/ CEX spot volume: $5.1T (+31.6% QoQ) but still below Q1's $5.3T Winners: ▸ Binance: 40% market share, $2.06T volume (surpassed Q1 high) ▸ Bybit: +38.4%, jumped #6→#3 (recovered post-hack) ▸ Upbit: +40.5%, climbed to #9 Loser: Coinbase now #10 globally despite being largest US exchange (+23.4% but outpaced by rivals) US regulatory uncertainty = competitive disadvantage for American exchanges. 7/ Perp DEX explosion: $1.8T volume ATH, challengers emerge  Q3 perp DEX volume: +87.0% to $1.8T (excluding Aster) Hyperliquid still dominates: 54.6% market share, 75% of Open Interest Challengers rising: ▸ Aster: $84.8B daily volume (September peak) ▸ Lighter & edgeX gaining traction Reality check: New entrants running incentive programs = mercenary capital. Hyperliquid's OI dominance (75%) shows real sticky liquidity. Bottom line: Q3 proved crypto bull market isn't just BTC anymore. ETH institutional adoption, stablecoin explosion, DeFi revival, perp DEX competition - this is broad-based growth. The question isn't IF this continues, but WHICH narratives dominate Q4. Watch: ETH treasuries, perp DEX wars, stablecoin yields. #coinminutes #bitcoin #market

🎭 3 SIGNS TO RECOGNIZE THAT THE MARKET IS TURNED FASTER THAN AN EX 1. Funding rate is positive → suddenly turns negative Funding rate is the fee that long or short position holders must pay each other periodically (usually every 8 hours). - When the funding rate is positive, it means that the long side is more crowded → the market sentiment is too optimistic. - But when it suddenly turns negative, it means that the long side is crushed, everyone runs away to short. 2. Sharks are quiet for several days → suddenly deposit thousands of BTC on the exchange Sharks are the term for wallets holding a large amount of BTC or ETH. When they withdraw coins from the exchange, it is usually for long-term holding → a positive signal. But when they deposit back to the exchange, it means they are preparing to sell or take profit. 3. Open Interest (OI) increases abnormally → 1 wick wipes out OI (Open Interest) is the total number of derivative positions open in the market, not yet closed. When OI increases suddenly, it means that leverage is piling up. Everyone wants to eat fast, getting rich is not difficult. Because OI is high but the price does not increase accordingly → it means that buying power is weak, the price is easily swept to liquidate a series of positions. So it is not wrong to say that the market turns around faster than an ex-lover.

Remember when Trump was elected, we were so happy and excited. A year has passed, I wonder how your portfolio is doing now, or if it's all withered and withered.

Gold has just officially registered its name as the first asset in history to reach a capitalization of over 30,000 billion USD. Since the beginning of the year, the price of gold has climbed more than 67%, from $2,600 to $4,300/oz, a terrifying growth rate. Meanwhile, Bitcoin started at $92,000 and only increased about 36%, peaking at $126,000. It's too easy to see with the naked eye, gold still plays the role of a safe haven in risky times, while Bitcoin continues to attract investors thanks to its acceleration according to market cycles. Anyone who bought a lot of gold last month must be retiring early now, guys?

🙏 Binance is back in the spotlight after the weekend crash. After the strong fluctuations, the community criticized Binance fiercely even though the exchange apologized and compensated. cz binance affirmed that Binance's core value is always to protect users, but public opinion is still divided: 1. One side believes that Binance is protecting the ecosystem. 2. The other side suspects that the exchange lacks transparency, unfair competition and "says morally, does otherwise". This story reminds me of one thing: when an exchange holds too much power, the risk to users is greater. You should allocate assets and manage your wallet yourself, which is still the safest way in this storm season ^^ #coinminutes

🔥 4 concepts that Holders need to understand before investing in real money. EMA 200 is the 200-day moving average. If the price is above EMA200, the market is in an uptrend. If it is below EMA200, it is winter - sharks are hunting. RSI Trend strength index. The lower the RSI (below 30), the stronger the selling pressure is - usually the sharks are collecting goods. Resistance & Support are like price ceilings and floors. Resistance is often blocked, while support is an easy-to-rebound zone. Volume shows the strength of cash flow. A strong increase in volume when the price increases means money is pouring in, while a price increase with weak volume is just a "temporary pump." Understanding basic techniques is not for trading, but to know where you are in the market cycle. #CryptoEducation #CoinMinutes

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 This could be the biggest crypto seizure in history!!! 💥 The U.S. has just seized $15 billion worth of Bitcoin from Cambodia’s so-called ☠️💀👻☠️ king! The Department of Justice (DOJ), along with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Department of Homeland Security, announced the confiscation of 127,271 BTC (~$15 billion) from Chen Zhi the head of Prince Group, who’s behind massive fraud and money laundering operations in Cambodia. He’s still on the run, but that mountain of Bitcoin is now safely in U.S. government custody. 😮💨

The top of today is the bottom of tomorrow!!! Nearly $700 million got liquidated in just 24 hours! $BTC dropped to $113,205 (-1.8%) $ETH down to $4,127 (-2.9%) $BNB evaporated almost 7% As someone who’s been through a few uptrends and downtrends, I can tell you one thing . Every time the market bleeds, it comes back stronger. This round’s no different. It’s clearing out overleveraged longs and kicking FOMO traders out of the game.Sure, the price tag is $700 million burned, but what we get in return is a healthier setup for the next real wave of money. Because the market always runs in cycles: Every pump is followed by a dump. Every reset is a chance to re-accumulate. Right now, the market’s just flushing out the FOMO longs again, haha #Market #CoinMinutes #Bitcoin #Crypto

🧠 The Golden Moment to Load Up on Altcoins – Have You Noticed? I spotted something interesting on the charts 👀 Every time over 90% of altcoins drop below the 200-day moving average (200D SMA) — that’s when the market gets super bearish. But ironically, that’s also when diamonds are being formed before the real Altseason explosion. 💥 Looking back: 👉 2019, 2020, 2023 — altcoins were dumped, everyone lost hope. Then, not long after, the market bounced back hard. 👉 When people get bored of altcoins, smart money starts buying quietly. ⏳ Now, the data shows a similar cycle might be forming again. No one knows exactly when Altseason begins, but being early — before the crowd — that’s the real edge. 💡 Don’t just watch prices, watch the cycles. The market always rewards those who are patient and data-aware.

🔥 China Declares It’s Ready to “Fight to the End” with the U.S. Tensions between Washington and Beijing are rising again as China’s Ministry of Commerce declared it is ready to fight to the end if the U.S. continues escalating the trade war. Beijing stated: “If the U.S. wants a fight, we’re ready. If the U.S. wants talks, our door is open.” The strong statement came in response to Washington’s new export restrictions targeting Chinese tech firms. Meanwhile, the Trump administration shows no signs of backing down, maintaining its pressure strategy to secure a more favorable deal. China is no longer the passive player — it’s stepping onto the board with confidence. That “fight or talk, your move” tone is both a challenge and a power signal, showing Beijing feels it has leverage. Such statements aren’t just diplomatic posturing; they’re market signals aimed at global investors. In modern geopolitics, words move markets long before policies do.
