Crypto Trends 7 – 13 Apr 2025: Market Analysis and Performance
The crypto market closes a troublesome week that many investors consider nothing short of nightmare fuel. The second week of the “Tariff Wars” started by US President Donald Trump saw most financial markets take another tumble. Unsurprisingly, the crypto market dipped further under the red line, and most cryptocurrencies lost precious gains. However, as the week ended, the volatility reduced, the FUD subdued, and many digital assets returned to trading in the green. Overall, it wasn’t as bad as many expected, and even the market capitalization increased by over $50 billion, reaching $2.70 trillion.
Bitcoin started the week falling helplessly under the $80,000 level. The king of cryptocurrencies dragged the whole market along the slippery slope. Moreover, it reached as low as $74,000 at one point. Fortunately, a breakthrough in the Tariff War – a tariff suspension commanded by the US President himself – helped most financial markets recover. As a result, Bitcoin began growing slowly and steadily. Currently, BTC is trading at nearly 3% more than last week. More importantly, it cemented its position above the $80K level.
Ethereum cannot pride itself on Bitcoin’s trajectory. On the contrary, the second crypto in command never attempted to recover from the recent hysteria engulfing the crypto market. Therefore, ETH’s value dropped consistently, recording an 11% drop. Even worse, ETH is in peril of falling below the $1.5K level and destroying its supporters’ optimism.
Altcoins & DeFi
Most altcoins are trading in the green, with almost no exceptions. For example, XRP is up by 7%, Solana by 9%, Cardano by 3%, BNB by 1%, Chainlink by 2%, TRON by 3%, Sui by 8%, and Avalanche by 16%. Toncoin is among the few losers this week, showcasing a 12% decrease.
The memecoins are showing minor improvements. For instance, Dogecoin is up by 1%, Shiba Inu by 2%, and Pepecoin by 3%.
The Metaverse sector has also seen notable movements in the past week. For instance, Axie Infinity is down by 12% and ApeCoin by 1%. Meanwhile, Decentraland is up by 9%, Render by 29%, and Stacks by 5%. The Sandbox increased by 3%, MultiversX by 2%, and Floki by 7%.
The DeFi sector decreased the total value in locked protocols (TVL) by nearly $4.2 billion to reach $90.61 billion.

Next Week’s Crypto Market Forecast
The crypto market came on top after a largely turbulent week characterized by intense volatility. Most cryptocurrencies and Web3 projects are gaining precious value; hopefully, this trend will continue. Nevertheless, one cannot ignore the nerve-wracking economic climate affecting the entire world, which could easily cause the positive trend to reverse without notice.
