In the first 89 days of 2025, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant downturn, losing $610 billion in total value. The market has decreased from $3.27 trillion at the beginning of the year to $2.66 trillion today. Despite this overall contraction, a few digital tokens have managed to thrive. Notably, Four (FORM), previously known as binaryx (BNX), has seen an impressive increase of 457.5% against the U.S. dollar, rising from $0.40 to $2.23 per unit.

Following FORM, onyxcoin (XCN) has also performed well, achieving a 343.5% gain as its price jumped from $0.00232 to $0.01029 per unit. Ultima (ULTIMA) secured the third spot with a 173.6% increase, rising from $6,989 to $19,124 per token. Artemis Terminal data indicates that stablecoins have emerged as the dominant force in 2025, while most other sectors have struggled.

However, some tokens have faced severe declines. Virtuals protocol (VIRTUAL) experienced the steepest drop, plummeting 88.1% from its peak of $5.07 to $0.60.
