Last week, the cryptocurrency market showed a clear disconnect between overall macro sentiment and sector-specific rotations. While BTC traded sideways and stalled between bulls and bears around key ranges, investors actively focused on structural opportunities within the Bitcoin ecosystem, Solana DEX, and L1/L2 scaling sectors. HTX data from November 10th to 17th shows high-quality assets across multiple sectors showing exceptional performance, highlighted by BANK’s astonishing 97% jump in one week.
Bitcoin Ecosystem: BANK leads the way with weekly gains of 97%
The Bitcoin ecosystem clearly took center stage this week. Momentum in the sector continued to build in Q4, driven by both the strengthening of the BTC Layer 2 narrative and active support for ecosystem assets by major centralized exchanges (CEXs). BANK’s exceptional performance also reflects the market’s strong belief in the “next big breakout within the Bitcoin sector.”
● BANK (Lorenzo Protocol): Modular Bitcoin L2 infrastructure built on Babylon. BANK, which first launched on HTX in May, surged 97% this week, securing its place as the week’s top gainer, driven by community enthusiasm and stories of an upgraded ecosystem.
L1/L2 sector: STRK will rise soon as capital returns
This week, the L1 public chain and layer 2 sectors have once again captured the attention of investors, leading to an overall uptick in trading activity. Investor sentiment has shifted toward “high growth stories and resilient assets.” Compared to volatile meme coins and one-time spike tokens, the L1/L2 sector has shown a clear move towards a more sustainable growth trajectory.
● Coming soon: 80% increase in weeks. Progress in ecosystem deployment and performance enhancements has renewed near-term interest, making SOON the top L1 performer this week.
● STRK (StarkNet): Up 50% this week and stands out as the most representative growth asset in the L2 sector.
DEX Sector: Solana remains in focus, PerpDEX regains attention
DeFi’s capital efficiency is increasing, derivatives markets have become important hubs for high-frequency on-chain traders, and related PerpDEX project valuations are rising. At the same time, the Solana ecosystem remains one of the most-watched stories in Q4, with on-chain TVL, DEX trading volume, and active user numbers maintaining strong ecosystem liquidity.
●MET (Meteora): Up 41% this week. Meteora is a dynamic liquidity pool protocol on Solana that supports automated market makers and token trading through a dynamic liquidity management mechanism (DLMM). This week’s increase reflects continued native ecosystem value discovery.
● ASTER (Aster): Up 20% this week, an outstanding performance in decentralized perpetual trading (PerpDEX). The PerpDEX sector is primarily driven by trading volume and market volatility.
Privacy sector: ZEC and DASH deliver solid profits
Privacy-focused assets often act as risk-off hedges during market fluctuations. Signs of regional regulatory stabilization are generating renewed interest in this area. The strong performance of ZEC and DASH confirms investors’ confidence in safe and future-proof assets.
●ZEC (Zcash): Up 12% for the week. One of the pioneering privacy tokens, ZEC is built on zero-knowledge proofs (zk-SNARKs) technology and continues to provide foundational support for on-chain privacy protection.
● DASH: Up 10% this week. Known for its “hybrid privacy + instant payment” model, DASH has distinct advantages in payment network restructuring and on-chain payments.

High-quality new assets drive continued structural trends
The latest HTX Hot Listings Weekly Recap confirms that the crypto market is entering a period of “multi-sector synchronization and fast-paced value rotation.” The collapse of the privacy-focused asset ecosystem, the recovery of PerpDEX, and market focus on specific narratives are collectively driving sector rotation.
HTX will continue to filter and select high-quality sector assets to provide users with projects with stronger growth potential.
