surged to $119,500, now trading at $118,589. With the world’s largest crypto pressing against the $120,000 resistance, traders are already asking which could be the next crypto to explode in Uptober’s bullish run.
October has a history of strong crypto performance, and this year is no exception. A mix of macro pressures like the U.S. government shutdown and ongoing weakness in the dollar, has driven capital toward Bitcoin and altcoins.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs added $676 million in net inflows on October 1 alone, while Ethereum ETFs saw more than $80 million, underscoring the growing role of institutional demand.
On October 1, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $676 million in net inflows, marking the third consecutive day of inflows. Ethereum spot ETFs saw $80.79 million in net inflows, also extending their streak to three consecutive days.https://t.co/Hj2Gs49bWa pic.twitter.com/qb0n59xwS3

advanced 4–7%, lifting overall market sentiment. A short squeeze forced bearish traders to unwind positions, intensifying the upside momentum. Market watchers say a clean breakout above $4.05 trillion in total capitalization could open the door to further gains, while falling below $4.00 trillion risks a pullback toward $3.94 trillion.

broke through resistance at $47.7 and $48.2 with ease, now aiming above $50 if bulls maintain pressure. On shorter time frames, $49.75 remains the key level to beat for further upside. Traders see HYPE’s liquidity and recent revival of sentiment as potential drivers, putting it on watch as the next crypto to explode this month.

cooled off after last week’s highs, dropping around 35% to $1.69. Despite the correction, whales continue to accumulate, with just two wallets now holding 8% of supply worth $218 million. This dip-buying suggests confidence in ASTER’s longer-term trajectory.
With altcoins heating up, attention is shifting to the next crypto to explode.
Bitcoin
Meme coins, in general, are catching attention again, moving fast in sync with Bitcoin’s rally. This momentum could intensify if Bitcoin breaks above the $120K resistance, potentially pushing BTC toward a new all-time high this month. However, a correction remains possible after such a sharp run, and traders should watch for signs of profit-taking. For now, the market is enjoying a wave of bullish sentiment, with both Bitcoin and select meme coins leading the charge. $BTC is green on all timeframes, now above $120,000. pic.twitter.com/gJrzp0db0i — CoinGecko (@coingecko) October 2, 2025 Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net inflow of 5,643 BTC, valued at $675.21 million. BlackRock was the largest contributor, adding 3,451 BTC worth $412.87 million. The firm now holds a total of 773,461 BTC, equivalent to about $92.54 billion. Ethereum ETFs saw even larger volume inflows, with a total of 14,864 ETH added across nine funds, worth $65.64 million. Fidelity led with an inflow of 8,324 ETH valued at $36.76 million. This brings Fidelity’s total holdings to 772,054 ETH, worth approximately $3.41 billion. In a separate development, blockchain analysis detected unusual activity involving three wallets, possibly linked to hackers. These addresses spent 38 million DAI to purchase 8,637 ETH at an average price of $4,401, roughly seven hours ago. The purpose of these transactions remains unclear, raising questions about potential security or market manipulation risks. Hackers are buying $ETH! 3 wallets (likely belonging to hackers) spent 38M $DAI to buy 8,637 $ETH at $4,401 7 hours ago.https://t.co/wSLJN03zPKhttps://t.co/eCQVmuzJ1Zhttps://t.co/Gwz5p6HOuH pic.twitter.com/7GGUebSqXl — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 2, 2025 Perpetual DEX trading volume has smashed through the $1 trillion mark in the last 30 days for the first time, according to DefiLlama. Daily volume now stands at $107.3 billion, with weekly activity up +161.6%. Aster dominates the leaderboard, handling $70.6 billion in the past 24 hours and $493.6 billion over 30 days. Hyperliquid follows with $9.47 billion daily and $280.7 billion monthly, while Lighter and edgeX report $165.4 billion and $91.1 billion, respectively. The surge highlights a fiercely competitive market as decentralized perpetual platforms battle for dominance. Those were only practice rate cuts, unironically, and we’re starting off Uptober with a solid pump. Sui Crypto has joined the upward move, with traders eyeing $5 by 2026 as a plausible milestone should the broader rally continue. If this is a fake pump, then I’m looking forward to the soup line. Happy Uptober 🚀 — Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 1, 2025 Meanwhile, BlackRock, the SUI Group, the Sui Foundation, and Ethena just announced plans to launch suiUSDe (a native synthetic dollar) and USDi (backed by BlackRock’s tokenized money market fund BUIDL). Uptober is kicking off strong with Bitcoin climbing 4% back above $117,000 and altcoins joining the push higher. But the real surprise leader is Zcash (ZEC) crypto, which just ripped more than 100% in a single day, making it the top gainer among the top 100 coins. This rally feels different from past spikes, with real demand showing up for privacy-focused tokens as regulatory winds shift. On Wednesday, ZEC smashed to a 3-year high at $153, up 225% in just a week and 320% from its August bottom.Bitcoin Hits $120K as USELESS Surges 30% — Meme Coins Follow the Rally
