This week, the crypto market remained range-bound amid simultaneous macro and sentiment-driven pressures. Expectations of a Bank of Japan rate hike triggered a pullback in global risk assets, while tighter liquidity weighed on market risk appetite. At the same time, rumors surrounding a potential change in the FED chair and ongoing policy uncertainty added to market caution regarding the future rate path. Despite this backdrop, BTC posted a notable rebound on Wednesday, briefly climbing back to around $93,000, showing clear signs of short-term recovery. Technically, downside support remains resilient, and the market has entered a news-driven consolidation phase.

Gate Research: Bitcoin stabilized and rebounded last week, reclaiming the $90,000 level. Ethereum also recovered above $3,000, with both assets showing a steady, moderate correction. KAS led the market with a weekly gain of 27.19%, standing out as the top-performing asset. Starknet was the strongest-momentum ecosystem, with STRK staking participation and decentralization indicators trending higher. DeFi TVL has accelerated meaningfully since July, nearing its all-time high. Monad, on the other hand, showed a clear pattern of high network activity paired with heavy airdrop-driven sell pressure. Even with higher TPS and ecosystem incentives after its mainnet launch, over half of recipients sold their tokens, resulting in sharp price volatility.

Gate Research Daily Report: Bitcoin fell further below $84,000 on Tuesday, and dragged by BTC’s correction, Ethereum dropped below $2,800 over the past 24 hours, approaching its key $2,600 support again. Ancient8 announced a partnership with the gaming identity layer Dæmons, driving A8 up 89% in the past 24 hours; PRIME’s recent gains were mainly fueled by exchange listings and trading incentives, rising 45% over the same period. Kalshi announced it will tokenize thousands of its existing prediction market contracts on Solana, a move likely to attract more institutional and retail participation; meanwhile, Strategy established a $1.44 billion dividend reserve fund to support payouts, signaling robust cash flow and liquidity management to investors.

From November 11 to November 24, 2025, the crypto market retreated under AI-bubble concerns and macro tightening pressures, though BTC and ETH staged a short-term rebound from local lows, keeping the broader structure in a consolidation phase. The top 500 tokens by market cap declined about 15% on average, with mid- and small-cap assets showing notable divergence—BEAT surged 436% to lead the market, while narrative-driven tokens such as SOON retraced 50–70%. A clear volume-price mismatch emerged, as tokens like AGENTFUN and XSO saw 10–15x volume spikes without meaningful price follow-through, reflecting cautious short-term sentiment despite ongoing structural opportunities. Amid this backdrop, several sectors—including prediction markets, DID identity systems, testnet participation, and yield aggregation platforms—have begun launching airdrop-driven campaigns. This report summarizes key participation methods to help users capture testnet incentives and potential rewards during the rebound phase and position a

Gate Research: On November 27, BTC and ETH respectively reclaimed the key psychological levels of $90,000 and $3,000, igniting a broad recovery across the cryptocurrency market. Platform tokens, exemplified by GT, surged strongly, while market sentiment exhibited marked improvement. In the hotspot token sector, Merlin (+157.95%) exploded over 150% due to its mainnet upgrade and short-squeeze dynamics; XION (+98.6%) rose nearly 100%, propelled by robust KRW trading pair activity and strong purchasing power from Korean investors; and the popular BSC memecoin BANANAS31 (+66.62%) saw trading volume skyrocket to $470 million, driven by resonant community engagement and capital inflows that propelled its price higher. S&P downgraded Tether-USDT's rating to "Weak," refocusing attention on stablecoin risks; the Cosmos community initiated research on a new tokenomics model for ATOM, aiming to replace inflation incentives with ecosystem revenue sharing; and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik donated 128 ETH each to privacy me

Gate Research Weekly Report: BTC and ETH have both reclaimed key psychological levels at $90,000 and $3,000, respectively, signaling a clear recovery in market sentiment. Funds are rotating across multiple sectors, including exchange tokens, Layer-1s, and meme coins. S&P downgraded Tether–USDT’s stability rating to “Weak” but Stable; the Cosmos community has initiated a new ATOM token proposal, reigniting debate over token-economic risks; and Ethereum co-founder Vitalik donated to privacy-focused communication efforts. Plasma’s token has fallen 90% from its early peak, with the project still far from delivering on its ambitious promises. Bitcoin faces a $13.6 billion monthly options expiry this Friday, with 77% of open interest sitting out-of-the-money. Resulting hedging flows may continue to amplify short-term volatility.

According to Gate Research, the crypto market experienced a choppy recovery this week under shifting macro sentiment. As retail data weakened and several Fed officials delivered dovish signals, rate-cut expectations strengthened, with the probability of a December cut rising to 84.9%. Risk assets saw a moderate improvement in sentiment. After a continuous pullback, Bitcoin found strong buying interest near $80,000 and rebounded to around $88,000, lifting major altcoins as well. However, capital flows remain cautious, ETF inflows are limited, and the broader market still reflects a weak rebound structure.
