So today, we’re diving deep into what’s been happening lately, and more importantly, we’ll explore what this could mean for crypto’s next chapter as we head into the final stretch of 2025."

This video summarizes CoinGecko's Q3 2025 crypto industry report, noting that the total crypto market cap grew by over $560 billion to $4 trillion by the end of Q3, although a significant portion of those gains were wiped out by a record $20 billion liquidation event on October 10th. The report indicates a gradual shift in capital toward altcoins, with Bitcoin dominance falling below 57% and Ethereum dominance climbing above 12.5% in Q3. Investor attention broadened across various narratives, with the top 20 narratives attracting only 53% of user attention, down from 91% in Q2, with meme coins, AI, real-world assets (RWAs), and the Solana ecosystem gaining notable interest. Digital Asset Treasury companies (DATs) were major buyers, investing nearly $22.6 billion in Q3, the highest quarterly total yet.

Bitcoin's price surged to a new all-time high of $126K in early October, driven by strong ETF inflows, but its Q3 performance of a 6% gain was lower than that of the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and gold. Spot Bitcoin ETF net inflows declined by nearly 30% in Q3. Conversely, Ethereum's performance was strong, closing Q3 up over 68% at $4,215, outperforming major cryptos. The spot Ethereum ETFs saw a record $9.6 billion in net inflows in Q3, surpassing the spot Bitcoin ETFs for the first time. The DeFi sector also showed impressive growth, with its total market cap soaring to $181 billion, and lending/liquid staking protocols driving much of the growth in Total Value Locked (TVL). NFT trading volumes rebounded by 56% in Q3, led by Ethereum blue-chip collections and a surge in Base NFTs. The video concludes with an optimistic outlook for Q4, citing rising altcoin interest, strong performance from Ethereum, resurgence in NFTs, and potential bullish macro and crypto catalysts like the end of Quantitative Tightening and pending altcoin ETF approvals.
