The crypto market is slowly licking its wounds and starting to heal from the tremors of the Friday market crash. The total market cap is once again at $3.83 trillion after recovering from $3.75 trillion. In such developing conditions, ZORA, Falcon Finance, and ASTER are three top tokens among the top 200.
ZORA recovers after a month of crashing
Zora began as an NFT marketplace and media protocol, enabling creators to mint, list, and sell digital works in a composable, permissionless environment.
Over time, it transformed into a creator-focused, on-chain social and content platform, where posts, images, NFTs, and other digital items can be “coined” — tokenized, traded, and monetized directly on-chain. In Spring 2025, Zora introduced its native token, $ZORA, launched on Base, an Ethereum Layer-2 network.
On the monthly chart, ZORA was gradually losing value, making lower lows and lower highs. However, come Uptober, the bulls came to ZORA’s rescue. The token gained value from $0.04 and reached $0.12. The token has a trading volume of over $238 million, which is up by more than 64%.
Traders lose interest in Falcon Finance
Falcon Finance is developing a universal collateral protocol that enables nearly any liquid asset — including cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets — to be used as collateral for on-chain liquidity generation. Its native token, $FF, with a total supply of 10 billion, serves as the foundation for governance, staking, rewards, and exclusive access within the Falcon ecosystem.
The FF token has not been in its best shape during the past month. The token crashed from as high as $0.50, and it is currently trading at $0.14. After losing nearly 15% during the past 7 days. The tokens’ trading volume has also dropped by almost 64% to $178 million, suggesting that traders don’t fancy the token anymore.
ASTER finds support to rebound
Aster is a decentralized trading platform built for both spot and perpetual markets, aiming to combine high performance, privacy features, and cross-chain support. It emerged from the merger of Astherus and APX Finance in late 2024, with APX holders converting their tokens 1:1 into ASTER during a rebranding process.
The $ASTER token has a maximum supply of 8 billion, and the project launched with a 704 million token airdrop (≈ 8.8% of supply) to kick off community engagement and reward early users. ASTER is used for governance, fee discounts, incentives, and helps support the protocol’s long-term sustainability.
ASTER has found its ground after the token kept crashing for the first half of October. The token found its support level at $1.1 before it started to head towards the $1.5 level. At the time of writing, the token is trading at 1.4 after losing 30% in the last 7 days.
