Top 3 Cryptos That Gained in a Red Market This Week

  Key Takeaways

• The crypto market fell in the first week of February, but there were still some high points. 
• Berachain’s BERA shot up more than 600% in the day following its launch. 
• Meanwhile, both Sweat Economy (SWEAT) and Mantra (OM) made gains.

The crypto market struggled in the first week of February 2025. After experiencing highs following the re-election of the ostensibly pro-cryptocurrency Donald Trump as US president in November and his second inauguration in January, reality has started to set in, and prices are down nearly 10% from the end of last month. 

That said, however, it isn’t all doom and gloom. Some cryptos have done well even when the market has dipped. Let’s take a look at three of them. 

Berachain (BERA) – Up 664%

Berachain’s BERA coin certainly grabbed people’s attention in the first week of February.

Pretty much the first major debutant of 2025 in crypto, Berachain is secured by a form of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism called Proof-of-Liquidity (PoL), and allows people to create their very own blockchains. 

BERA came onto the open market on Feb. 6, peaking at $14.99 the same day. Although it fell to around $7.65 by the following day, it still meant it had climbed around 665% over the week.

With a circulation of 107.48 million, it enjoys a market cap of about $820 million. This means it is in the top 90 cryptos by that metric, which is no mean feat for a coin just starting out on its journey. 

Sweat Economy (SWEAT) – Up 27.4%

Sweat Economy’s SWEAT token has been around for a little while now, moving out of the top 100 for the time being.

The Ethereum-based crypto, which helps power a walk-to-earn system, came out in 2022 and has a market cap of about $64 million, making it the 473rd-largest crypto. 

Good news for SWEAT earlier in the week came when Dogecoin (DOGE) founder Billy Markus seemingly endorsed it , saying people should “do something similar to sweatcoin where you get points that you can exchange for products, discounts, and partnerships.”

This saw the token shoot up from $0.007328 on Jan. 31 to a peak of $0.0181 the following day, a 24-hour increase of  146%.

Although there was something of a downturn above that, its price of $0.009337 still meant it had risen by more than 25% over the course of the week.

Mantra (OM) – Up 8.49%

Mantra’s OM token is the largest cryptocurrency to have gained value in the last week.

The coin is part of the real-world asset (RWA) sector, which didn’t have a good week at all last week. 

On Jan. 31, OM was worth about $5.53, and it was worth $6 on Feb. 7. What was perhaps even more impressive was that it reached an all-time high of $6.22 on Feb. 4.

Despite the slight dip after its peak, Mantra experienced a weekly upturn of just under 8.5%, a pretty impressive feat compared to a bearish market.

With a market cap of over $5 billion, it was the 25th-largest crypto by that metric.
