Nicely, “Uptober” occurred. Or did it? Yeah, technically it did, with the October crypto market making a late rally to not less than submit an general end result that wasn’t an entire and utter massacre.
A 5.93% Bitcoin achieve. It was “underwhelming, not like a bee sting, extra like an itch that by no means wants a scratch”, to cite Melbourne band The Fauves. However by Christ, on this sh*tty macro local weather, we’ll completely take that.
Moonvember right here we come? It’s acquired a fair higher monitor document than “Uptober” (see chart under), though final 12 months’s effort wasn’t precisely superior.
There’s, in fact, some probably extremely important, ahem, Fed f**kery to navigate first. However earlier than wanting too far forward, let’s take a fast look behind at a few of crypto’s greatest and worst performers for the month simply handed.
October’s main gainers and losers within the prime 100
DOGE tail retains wagging
Should you’ve been glancing at Mooners and Shakers each day, or simply following Crypto Twitter and/or your portfolio on the whole, then you definately’ll know Dogegin (DOGE) has been doing its greatest over the previous week to spur an alt season that will or could not but materialise.
In actual fact, the main meme coin’s efficiency ever since Elon “Dogefather” Musk took over Twitter late final week would possibly really be one of many greatest causes the crypto market has been in a position to maintain its head above the US$1 trillion parapet as we closed out the month.
A little bit of froth can beget extra froth, significantly in relation to crypto, and much more significantly in relation to crypto meme coins.
As for the Dogecoin exuberance, it’s now up 110% over the previous 30 days, with the token overtaking star layer 1 protocols Cardano (ADA) and Solana (SOL) up to now few days. Maybe it’s due a little bit of a lie down in its basket/kennel, quickly?
For the second, it’s nonetheless driving excessive on the expectation it can by some means play a central function in a crypto-enabled future for Twitter, now that Bitcoin (BTC) and DOGE holder Elon Musk has the social media platform roughly on a leash.
Tokenize Xchange – the following Binance?
Okay, about time we checked out this one, then. Boring title, but it surely’s sort of exploded out of seemingly nowhere this month. What’s TKX? Glad we lastly requested.

One other change, eh? Boooorrrring. Nicely, possibly so, however when you take the Binance change because the benchmark with its BNB ecosystem token and Binance Chain blockchain, then you may see how highly effective a story that may be.
It’d be arduous to ever replicate BNB’s 832,339.1% achieve from its humble starting – that coin reached its crypto main standing for a large number of early established network-reach causes throughout previous bull markets.
Nonetheless, Tokenize Xchange has some fairly lofty objectives, together with inserting a major a part of its deal with reportedly institutional buyers, and a plan to grow to be “the dominant player in the Web3 world in Asia,” in keeping with the agency’s founder and CEO, Hong Qi Yu.
Huobi – erm, additionally the following Binance?
One other looming, potential crypto-exchange behemoth, the Chinese language-founded, Seychelles-based Huobi (HT), which is run by Huobi International, additionally has a powerful deal with the frothy, crypto-loving Asian market.
In actual fact, it now additionally has places of work in Hong Kong (the place it’s a publicly listed firm), South Korea and Japan, together with the US.
The HT token pumped this month on the news Huobi Global was acquired by huge Hong Kong investment firm About Capital Management’s M&A fund.
One of many richest blokes in crypto, TRON blockchain founder Justin Solar, was additionally mentioned to be concerned within the buy, later clarifying his function as an adviser. It’s been reported that Solar has, nevertheless, been making some fairly hefty funding into the token of late.
74 million HT of Huobi’s two official wallets have been transferred to 2 new addresses on October 13, and the primary transactions have been from Justin Solar’s poloniex. The HT formally held by Huobi could also be a part of the acquisition of Huobi Change and has been handed over to Solar. https://t.co/O3SexjA8io
