The crypto economy closed the last week of November on the ascendancy, snapping a sharp downturn as bearish sentiment finally capitulated. This pivot gave way to renewed optimism that bitcoin might reclaim the robust price levels seen at the start of the month. Following a massive correction that saw the total market capitalization plunge well below the $3 trillion threshold, the sector staged a significant recovery, injecting over $200 billion in fresh capital to finish the week around $3.18 trillion.
This late-month resurgence offered a crucial signal that investor risk appetite was returning, fueled in part by improving macroeconomic sentiment regarding the U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate policy.
Despite this late surge, the crypto economy appeared poised to end the month with its market cap more than $600 billion lower, making its performance in November one of the worst in 2025. Driving this turnaround were crypto ETFs, some of which saw strong inflows during the week.
Bitcoin ( BTC), which at one point was 35% down from its October peak, ended the week around $90,500—about 7% higher—to bring its market cap back above $1.8 trillion. While the rally saw BTC briefly top $93,000 on Nov. 28, some experts are less sanguine about its upside potential.
To back this assessment, one report cites the sharp acceleration in exchange inflows, which may indicate that large holders are preparing to trim their holdings. Analysts believe the heightened inflows will likely sustain the downward pressure on prices, thus dashing hopes for a December rally.

Like BTC, many high-cap altcoins closed the week with gains exceeding 5%, while XRP, XLM, and XMR were the notable digital assets with double-digit gains over seven days. For XRP, the nearly 15% gain saw its market cap rise to $133 billion, helping it cement its number four status.
XMR’s 14% gain helped it overtake zcash (ZEC) to become the number one privacy coin by market capitalization. BOTX was the biggest gainer during the period by far after it jumped by 2,950%. It was followed by PIPPIN and WOJAK, which rose by 277% and 258%, respectively.
Meanwhile, ZEC and ASTER were some of the few notable digital assets to see red after they both tumbled by 11.4% and 11.6%, respectively. The biggest losers in the seven days ending Nov. 29 were FTN (49%), APR (44.4%), and SAHARA (41%).
