After the market posted its first ‘Red October’ since 2018, Binance Research reported say The month’s 6.1% decline was essentially a massive deleveraging, punctuated by nearly $19 billion in liquidations on October 10.
No fear. Flush.
Don’t collapse. Clearing the runway.
Now the team says it is entering November with “renewed optimism,” supported by improving macro conditions and new capital waiting to re-enter the market.
Below are the main points that traders should actually pay attention to.
1. Smart money treated October as a reset, not an exit
Binance data shows that major players did not start working, but repositioned themselves.
Bitcoin became the safe haven
BTC’s dominance rose to 59.4%, confirming that when leverage breaks, capital consolidates into the safest asset in crypto.
Stablecoins rose, a bullish signal
The total market capitalization of stablecoins increased by 3.54%, meaning that money has not left the ecosystem; it moved to the sidelines. Dry powder awaits rearrangement.
Institutions continued to accumulate ETH
According to Binance, government bonds and institutional allocators now own 5% of the entire ETH supply. Even during the October flush, Ethereum remained a strategic revenue-bearing asset for advanced players.
This is not the behavior of a market that is losing confidence. It is the behavior of a market that resets its positioning before the next leg.
2. The new stories: where strength actually emerged
Binance highlighted two key themes emerging from the market turbulence:
Nut performed better: BNB stood out
BNB was among the rare top 10 assets to end October in the green, up 6.2%.
Binance attributes this to the growth of its ecosystem, which includes:
- New prediction markets
- Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) launch on BNB Chain
- A bank-issued money market fund is introduced
Utility chains (not meme coins) showed resilience.
NFTs are now a multi-chain battlefield
The NFT market grew 11.5% month-over-month, but the real story is where the action took place:
- Bitcoin NFT Volume Increased 28.7%
- Base Chain NFT Volume Exploded 71.6%
Ethereum no longer owns this segment and NFTs are becoming a multi-chain competition with real liquidity migration.
3. The Trader’s Roadmap: Key Events + Token Unlocks
The report offers two of the most valuable charts for any trader: a calendar of important events:
And most importantly (especially for traders): a list of the biggest token unlocks for November.

Supply shocks matter, and some of the planned November unlocks are big enough to create meaningful selling pressure. This section alone is worth reading for anyone who actively trades.
In short
Binance Research’s statement in November is simple and logical:
- The pain of October was a cleansing, not a collapse.
- Leverage was taken away, weak hands were shaken out.
- Smart money was converted into BTC, ETH and stablecoins.
- Utilities and RWAs showed real strength.
- The macroeconomic headwinds (QT, Chinese rates) are easing towards the end of the year.
With the market reset and liquidity on the sidelines, Binance is starting November with a bullish bias, not because of the hype, but because the structural setup looks healthier than it did a month ago.
“Renewed optimism” is not a meme here, it is their data-driven conclusion.
