Blockchain Investing Strategies: Cryptocurrency Trading Guide podcast.
Hey friends, Crypto Willy here, coming at you with your essential Blockchain Investing Strategies update for the week leading up to October 21, 2025. If you were looking for fireworks in the crypto markets, grab your popcorn – this week did not disappoint.
First up: the numbers! Bitcoin broke back above $110,000 this week, with the 2025 bull run showing serious endurance. Ethereum has reclaimed the $4,000 level, putting a confident face back on the DeFi and developer crowd. Nine out of the top ten coins are flashing green, according to Blockchain Reporter, and total crypto market capitalization is hovering just under $3.9 trillion, as tracked by CoinMarketCap and shared in Binance’s market update. This shows a market wide surge with Bitcoin still holding strong as king, steadying dominance in the high-50% range.
On the institutional side, CME Group reports record-breaking volume and open interest in both crypto futures and options. In Q3, notional value topped $900 billion with more than a thousand large open interest holders, pushing crypto derivatives to wider mainstream adoption. Ethereum in particular saw a 441% leap in quarterly open interest versus last year, while new all-time highs for Solana and XRP underline the broadening appeal of alternative layer ones and major payment tokens.
Now, if you’re strategizing: long-term HODLing remains a backbone play, but savvy investors are now layering in advanced strategies. Per Coinbase’s latest positioning report, momentum trading and options strategies are especially hot, with traders hedging against short-term volatility and rotating between blue chips like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. The rise in perpetual futures trading means prices can swing sharply around key expiry dates – something swing traders should definitely keep on their radar.
For those looking to get ahead of the next big thing, presales are making a comeback. Analytics Insight highlights Ozak AI as the top crypto presale for October, drawing in early investors who want exposure to innovative AI and blockchain crossovers before they hit the mainstream. These early stage tokens are risky – but when you hit it right, you hit it hard. Always do your diligence and manage risk.
If you’re new to all this, remember: cryptocurrencies remain volatile, and security is everything. Keep your assets in well-secured wallets, consider hardware options, and always double check platform authenticity before connecting anything. And when in doubt? Dollar cost averaging keeps you from going all-in at the top.
