The crypto market doesn’t pull punches, and the past week has been no exception – a whirlwind of Fed rate cuts, ETF inflows, and leveraged trading that’s sent more timid souls scurrying to the sanctuary of stables. But for those brave enough to time their entry right, there have still been some highly rewarding plays.
While BTC and ETH play it safe around $109K and $3,850 as of October 30, the real fireworks have lit up specialized sectors of the cryptosphere. On the Layer-1 front, Solana (SOL) is gathering momentum, with a string of catalysts projected to send it higher, while the buzz around real-world assets (RWAs) is also still palpable, as evidenced by the FOMO for the ongoing ConstructKoin (CTK) presale.
There’s a lot to catch up on in one of crypto’s most frantic weeks of the year so far – and we’re not even done. Keep a close eye on the following coins in the days ahead, all of which look likely to outperform the rest of the market. Let’s take it from the top.
SOL’s Steady Grind Signals Base Layer Rebound
Solana’s been unusually quiet of late in terms of price, and is currently down almost 10% for the month. Don’t mistake this underperformance as evidence of it being destined to finish the year with a whimper – in fact quite the opposite. Trading at $188 on October 30, 2025, SOL has notched a crisp 5% gain over the past week, outperforming both ETH and BTC.
The Fed’s 25 bps trim on October 29 shaved 2% off BTC but couldn't dent Solana, which has been showing strength off the back of Bitwise’s spot SOL ETF, which rapidly absorbed $70M – the hottest 2025 launch yet – showing institutional hunger for Solana. Add Hong Kong’s nod to Asia’s first spot SOL ETF, plus Grayscale’s staking variant hitting Nasdaq radar, and you've got fresh liquidity flowing into SOL.
Onchain, Firedancer’s rollout on Solana is looming to double throughput, turning Solana into the go-to for memecoin degens and DeFi traders alike – keep an eye on Solana majors such as JUP and PENGU as leveraged SOL bets. Price-wise, SOL is predicted to break back above $200 by November’s end, a 5% bump from here, but with RSI flirting with oversold at 45 and 50-day EMA support at $197, a break above $203 could unleash $230 by year-end.
ConstructKoin’s CTK Presale Heats Up
Away from all the ETF-fueled drama surrounding Solana, there’s been trading frenzy of a different kind taking place in RWA land. This isn’t the sort of action you can measure on CoinGecko or CMC though – we’re talking presales, specifically that of ConstructKoin, whose CTK token is being scooped up by investors eying major returns.
The size of the buys that have been routinely arriving since the presale went live on October 27 signal whale conviction in tokenized real estate’s trillion-dollar runway. The CTK sale is currently priced at $0.10 entry, with 10 phases scaling to $1 for a $100M hard cap. ConstructKoin’s AI-powered protocol tokenizes property development loans, letting you play bank with 60-75% LTV security on property that’s already being actively developed.
CTK stakers will earn 8-12% USDT yields from a loan book already backing £15M assets, with AI slashing underwriting to minutes via BIM integration. A detailed roadmap includes a property-pegged stablecoin that will be unlocked at £100M. 40% of the token’s 1B supply (400M tokens) funnels straight to presale – no VC dumps here. There’s a degree of risk with all presales, but if ConstructKoin can make good on its roadmap, its native token will soon be priced in whole dollars, not cents.
With majors to trade, presales to pick, and ETF inflows to track, November looks like starting as October ended: risk-on, with the rewards going to the traders who do their homework and carefully select their coins.
