The November crypto update shows a volatile month with a sharp reset, strong gainers, rising stablecoins, and the market stayed intact.
Author: Chirag Sharma
A month that was supposed to be “Bullvember” turned into one of the most volatile resets of 2025. Bitcoin slipped over 20% from its highs, ETH cooled below 3K, SOL lost momentum, and memecoins took one of their biggest hits of the year. Leverage dominated the market early on, and the flush that followed wiped out more than 2 billion dollars in liquidations. But beneath the noise, November revealed something important: the market structure stayed intact. Dominance held, institutions accumulated, and stablecoin reserves reached fresh highs. It was a month that felt brutal on the surface but quietly strengthened the foundation. Now let us dive into key numbers and stats of this November crypto update.
Even in a shaky environment, the gainers told a story of selective strength. ARC and TNSR led with triple and double digit runs as liquidity rotated into microcaps with strong catalysts. TEL stayed resilient thanks to telecom-focused integrations, while Firo and ZK benefited from rising interest in privacy. ICP and QNT showed that large caps with real ecosystem flows can hold up even in corrective phases.
These were the tokens everyone talked about all month.
Monad held attention with its mainnet momentum. Zano and RIO stayed in rotation as privacy and AI narratives kept simmering. Qubic gained traction from its unique execution model, while CPOOL saw spikes in activity from ecosystem announcements.
None of these were random pumps. They reflected the pockets of market strength that survived November’s volatility.
$FOLKS
$SURGE
$GAIB
$AVICI
$ARIAIP
Launches stayed surprisingly strong. FOLKS and SURGE debuted with high user interest and clean early liquidity. GAIB and AVICI landed in the DePIN and creator-economy lanes, while ARIAIP caught eyes with its AI angle. Even in a red month, quality launches still found demand.
By mid-November, survival mode kicked in.
Bitcoin’s drop dragged the entire market with it. ETH slipped under 3000. Solana’s momentum cooled. Most narratives went quiet because leverage across the market was simply too high. Liquidations piled up and forced sellers took over.
But zoom out.
Dominance rose.
Stablecoin reserves increased.
Institutional wallets accumulated.
And importantly, high time frame levels held across the board.
This wasn’t a cycle breakdown. It was a much-needed cleanse.
This is why November felt worse than it actually was.
The market bled, but the foundation stayed strong.
Now comes the fun part.
December is loaded with catalysts that actually matter.
Historically, December leans bullish. Add oversold indicators, flushed leverage, and rising stablecoin supply, and the setup looks healthier than people think.November wasn’t the end. It was the reset before the next leg. December is where the patient win.
