Outpoll Weekly Recap: Crypto (November 10 – 16, 2025)

3 hours ago7 min read

This week, the crypto landscape did what it does best: it separated the foundational signal from the speculative noise. Bitcoin flexed its muscles, pushing decisively past the $45,000 mark and reminding everyone why it remains the only digital asset that truly matters.This wasn't some fluke driven by altcoin mania; this was a calculated surge rooted in real-world adoption and a flight to quality, leaving the endless parade of 'Ethereum-killers' and meme coin absurdities choking on its dust. While the usual suspects chattered about a potential spot Ethereum ETF, the real action was in the prediction markets, where the smart money is already betting on a seismic shift in the political winds.Polymarket saw a torrent of capital flowing into contracts predicting a Trump victory, a clear signal that the market anticipates a more favorable regulatory environment that would, first and foremost, benefit the king of crypto. Let's be blunt: a Trump administration isn't going to waste its time coddling the DeFi playgrounds or legitimizing NFT profile pictures; it's going to recognize Bitcoin as the strategic monetary asset it is.Meanwhile, the so-called 'altseason' remains a myth peddled by bagholders and influencers, with most alternative assets showing pathetic volume and liquidity compared to BTC's majestic dominance. The lesson, as always, is simple.Stop chasing the latest shiny object with a dog mascot and focus on the bedrock. In a world of increasing macroeconomic uncertainty and political theater, Bitcoin isn't just an investment; it's a statement. It's the only bet that cuts through the chaos, and this week proved, once again, that its reign is absolute.
