Public companies added 7,721 BTC worth $634.84 million during Oct. 12-18, while decentralized exchange activity recovered. DEX spot volume rebounded 5.83% week over week and perpetuals volume rose 4.36%.
Why it matters
The weekly data show stronger trading activity and continued institutional accumulation alongside a $1.65 billion decline in total stablecoin market capitalization. Strategy bought 267 BTC worth $21.95 million, while Bitmine added 12,535 ETH valued at $30.19 million.
Protocol revenue slipped 1.09% week over week, but Bordrless led weekly revenue growth with a 6,084% increase. The mix points to expanding activity across DEX markets even as liquidity measured through stablecoin supply contracted.
Market impact
The clearest positive signal was the scale of corporate crypto buying, with four companies collectively increasing their BTC holdings. Higher spot and perpetuals volumes add further evidence of active market participation, although the stablecoin contraction remains a countervailing liquidity signal for DeFi and broader crypto markets.
