Crypto’s Wild Ride: Peaks to Valleys 🚀💸

by

The year 2025 has been a tale of two cities, where the digital gold rush meets the dust of forgotten dreams. 🌾💰 Bitcoin, that old titan, now trades just shy of $110,000, a shadow of its former glory, like a weary farmer staring at a barren field. 🐄💸 Still, it’s 11.9% below its peak-like a man who’s almost home but still has a mile to walk. 🚶♂️

Down From the Peaks: Where the Top Cryptos Stand Today

Bitcoin (BTC) hit its ATH just a couple of weeks ago on Oct. 6, 2025-but the exact number depends on who you ask. On Bitstamp, the peak clocked in at $126,272, while Deribit edged slightly higher at $126,307. 🤷♂️

Coingecko’s global weighted average splits the difference across several exchanges at $126,080 per coin. Fast forward to today, and with bitcoin trading at $110,815, it’s sitting 11.9% below its crown high. 🎩📉

Ethereum ( ETH) is lounging at $4,036 today-well below its lofty peak of $4,946. To reclaim bragging rights and top its Aug. 24, 2025, high, ETH will need to rally another 18.5%. BNB is changing hands at $1,112 per coin on Oct. 20, 2025-about 18.5% shy of its $1,369 peak set on Oct. 13. Meanwhile, XRP’s got a steeper hill to climb at $2.45 per token, needing a 32.8% jump to outshine its July 18 high of $3.65. 🐴🐴

Solana ( SOL) is swapping hands at $192 as of 9:15 a.m. Eastern on Monday-down 34.5% from its glittering $293 peak hit back on Jan. 19, 2025. Tron ( TRX) is priced at $0.3229 today, sitting 25.2% beneath its all-time high set on Dec. 4, 2024. The original meme coin, dogecoin (DOGE), is fetching $0.2003 per coin at the moment. That’s a hefty 72.6% below its all-time high set years back on May 8, 2021. 🦴😂

Cardano ( ADA) too hasn’t touched a new high since 2021, and on Oct. 20 it’s trading at $0.6657 per coin-still 78.3% under its $3.09 peak. Rounding out the top 10 (excluding stablecoins USDT and USDC), hyperliquid (HYPE) is going for $38.71, sitting 37% below its Sept. 18, 2025, all-time high of $59.30 per coin. 🐴🐴

From bitcoin’s lofty highs to dogecoin’s nostalgic dip, the crypto heavyweights are catching their breath after a wild 2025. While some tokens are just a stone’s throw from reclaiming glory, others are still nursing hangovers from bull runs past. But in crypto, fortunes flip faster than a meme on X-so whether you’re watching, waiting, or plotting your next move, one thing’s certain: this digital rollercoaster isn’t done climbing-or dropping-just yet. 🎢🌀
