October began to spread optimism across the crypto market, but the “October Bull” rally quickly lost momentum. Within days, prices fell sharply after President Trump announced 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, a problem that persists to this day.
Despite the recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, the expected drop in interest rates took place and the cryptocurrency market cap fell 1.8% in 24 hours to $3.82 trillion.
Since a prolonged decline is worrisome, many crypto market veterans see it as a necessary correction aimed at liquidating overleveraged positions and vulnerable investors before a major rise takes place. On the other hand, this idea has many precedents in the short history of the crypto market, as significant rises are often preceded by periods of decline.
However, major altcoins – such as Ripple, Zcash and Hyperliquid – are expected to make the biggest gains.
Ripple: Poised to Lead International Payments in 2025
Ripple is the base currency of a fast, low-cost payment network designed to provide a cutting-edge alternative to traditional payment networks such as SWIFT.
Through strategic partnerships including the United Nations Capital Development Fund and major US banks, Ripple has become the fourth largest digital asset in terms of market capitalization, which currently exceeds $154 billion.
Ripple Labs’ launch of Ripple USD-RLUSD – Ripple’s stablecoin pegged to the value of the US dollar – also shows its intention to capture a significant share of the new digital payments sectors.
Over the past 12 months, the price of Ripple has increased by 388%, recording its new highest level since 2018 at $3.65 in mid-July, while the price of Bitcoin (BTC) recorded a 53% increase during the same period. Now, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is approaching 48 and its price is once again in line with the 30-day moving average, indicating the end of the short period of weakness.
Technical indicators reveal two uptrends that have yet to be achieved during the summer months, suggesting the possibility of continued upside if applications submitted to create exchange-traded funds for the currency (Ripple ETF) are approved during the month of October. The adoption of comprehensive digital asset laws in the United States could also push the price of Ripple currency to between $5 and $10.
Zcash: Privacy Coin price increases by 147% in one week
Zcash first appeared in 2016 as a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain and was specifically designed to provide complete transaction privacy. On the other hand, ZK-SNARK allows transactions to be verified without revealing the identity of the sender, recipient or transfer details.
Additionally, the project offers protected and transparent addresses, balancing user privacy and regulatory requirements.
Over the past week, the price of Zcash has increased by 52% to $359, outperforming all currencies in the top 100 in terms of market capitalization. Although Zcash’s price rise in early October coincided with broader price increases for other privacy coins such as Monero-XMR, this week’s rise is not in line with that trend.
The relative strength index (RSI) is hovering around 73 and trending slightly lower as traders take profits, meaning a short-term decline could occur if the price approaches $500 by the end of the year.
Hyperliquid: the currency of the decentralized trading platform that created a new wave of crypto-millionaires
The Hyperliquide platform – and its base currency Hyperliquide – launched late last year and quickly became one of the most significant competitors in the decentralized trading platform (DEX) sector. Because it runs on its own first-layer blockchain, it prioritizes transparency and efficiency in completing transactions. Unlike other centralized trading platforms, the Hyperliquide platform allows its users to retain full ownership of their assets, a feature that has become increasingly important after the collapse of… Notable centralized exchanges (CEXs) such as FTX.
With its low trading fees, instant order execution and advanced features such as the ability to trade perpetual futures, the Hyperliquide platform successfully combines the ease of use of centralized platforms with the trustless nature of decentralized trading between traders.
Since its launch, the currency has gone through strong upward waves and it can form a pair of winter-spring pennants on its chart, which often precede strong price launches.
Between the beginning of April and May 26, the price of Hyperliquid increased from around $10 to $40. Since then, the coin’s support and resistance lines formed an increasingly wide channel that ended with the market declining in early October, but the 25% rebound over the past 7 days highlights increased demand.
Therefore, the current hyperliquid price of around $48 is down 18% from its all-time high of $59.30 on September 18.
Bitcoin Hyper-HYPER: A meme and second-layer solution that could redefine the future of Bitcoin in 2026
Bitcoin Hyper is considered one of the most popular projects in 2025, as it combines the security of the Bitcoin blockchain, the scalability of second-layer solutions and the appeal of meme currencies.
The network aims to improve Bitcoin’s technical ecosystem by providing near-instantaneous transactions, decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO) governance, and smart contract capabilities built on its Layer 2 solution. The subscription proceeds have already exceeded $25.3 million and some predictions indicate that the price of the coin could increase 100 times after launch.
Running using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Bitcoin Hyper’s Layer 2 solution provides a direct connection to Bitcoin, as well as full compatibility with decentralized applications (dApps) and features that include scalability for meme coins.
The smart contract for the project’s currency was also recently audited by the Coinsult team, which confirmed that it was free of any vulnerabilities, significantly improving investor confidence in the project.
In short, Bitcoin Hyper is the key to enjoying everything from staking and governance to minimal transaction fees, and its early buyers can currently earn returns of up to 46% per year by staking it.
