Only these 4 cryptocurrencies are in profit from the Top 50 over the last week
Despite a 13% Bitcoin drop, ZEC, XMR, UNI, and ASTER were the only Top 50 cryptocurrencies to post gains last week due to specific catalysts.Summary
Amid a challenging week where Bitcoin fell about 13% due to weakened rate-cut expectations and significant ETF outflows, only four cryptocurrencies from the Top 50—Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR), Uniswap (UNI), and Aster (ASTER)—managed to achieve positive returns. ZEC's outperformance was driven by anticipation for its next halving and the release of the Q4 2025 roadmap focusing on privacy tooling. XMR rose alongside privacy sector rotation, supported by its predictable tail-emission model, though regulatory scrutiny remains a risk. UNI advanced following the UNIfication proposal, which suggests activating protocol fees and a UNI burn, potentially linking protocol performance directly to tokenholder economics. ASTER, a new top-50 entrant, benefited from high reported volumes and its positioning as a multi-chain DEX with spot and perpetual trading. The shared factor for these four assets was the presence of clear, asset-specific catalysts during a general risk-off environment.
