Crypto Market Trends: Digital Asset Holdings Reach New High, DEX Platforms Gain Momentum

VanEck’s latest report highlights a surge in digital asset treasuries, reaching an estimated $135 billion in September 2025. This growth is largely attributed to entities like MicroStrategy (MSTR), which holds over half of these holdings. The report also reveals the rise of perpetual DEX platforms, accounting for 32% of total blockchain fees and witnessing a surge in perpetual futures trading volumes. While the crypto market saw a cooldown in September following gains earlier in the month, Bitcoin managed to hold its ground while Ether faced a decline.
