Top Crypto Gainers This Week – Telcoin, Meteora, and Humanity Protocol Lead Rally

The crypto market exhibited its trademark volatility for the week of November 14, 2025, with numerous tokens achieving remarkable gains. According to the latest CoinMarketCap rankings of such weekly rankings, Telcoin and Meteora attempted to compete with the most successful tokens. They were placed in a broad range of assets being covered at a faster pace of digital-asset volatility.

Telcoin’s Historic Banking Approval Drives 38% Surge

Telcoin led the weekly gainers with a staggering 38.56% increase, propelled by groundbreaking regulatory approval that could change the landscape of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Telcoin Digital Asset Bank was granted approval by the Nebraska Department of Banking and Finance to launch the Telcoin Digital Asset Bank in 171 countries. This is a major milestone, and it is the first regulated crypto bank to be established in the United States.

This approval enables Telcoin Digital Asset Bank to receive crypto deposits, make crypto loans, and connect directly to Federal Reserve payment rails. The timing for this proved especially fortuitous, coming right after the passage of the GENIUS Act, which established the first federal regulatory framework for stablecoins and digital assets in America. The market reacted favorably, with Telcoin surging intraday for a high of over 109% before finding a more reasonable landing spot at $0.005225 and a market cap of $475.5 million before retracing some of the move up.

Meteora and Humanity Protocol Emerge as the Star Performers in DeFi

Meteora took 2nd place this week among gainers with an impressive 30.72% total increase in the wake of one of the more interesting and controversial tokens launches in the history of Solana. The innovative liquidity protocol launched at the Token Generation Event on October 23, 2025, where it made available for reallocation 480 million MET tokens (representing 48% of the total supply) with a zero-vesting period for it’s reallocation. Trading near $0.50, and with a market cap around $521 million, Meteora showed that it would be hard to knock down and that traders have an eye on the fundamental strength of the project within DeFi on Solana.

Humanity Protocol achieved an outstanding 31.13% gain during the reporting period, garnering recognition with its decentralized biometric identity verification model. Different from its name for centralized government databases, Humanity Protocol used blockchain infrastructure to provide people authority over their biometric data using an immutable foundation. Trading at about $0.178554 with a market cap of $378.4 million, the increase of $0.05452103 in Humanity Protocol has to do with increasing attention to identity verification as critical infrastructure to a growing crypto ecosystem.

Uniswap Maintains Leadership Position

Uniswap managed to maintain its position as one of the most significant gainers with a 23.84% increase over the week, indicating that the protocol has a strong grasp as decentralized finance’s most established protocol. With a market capitalization of over $5.85 billion, the governance token enjoys the unparalleled presence of Uniswap on multiple blockchain networks. Recent discussions regarding the “UNIfication” proposal, which does suggest the burning of 100 million tokens, have prompted institutional and retail interest as well as the community debates regarding mechanisms to increase token value. Uniswap accounts for over 310,000 DAO members voting power over a $1.6 billion treasury, the highest level of maturity of governance structure in crypto.

Conclusion

The week concluding on November 14, 2025, emphasized major themes impacting cryptocurrency markets. Regulatory clarity, which Telcoin sought and received for a banking charter, is a very strong driver of price appreciation. Powerful fundamentals provide reliable foundations regardless of how the disruption takes place. With crypto upgrading, more distinctions between speculative tokens and projects based on utility are becoming more visible. The investors are encouraged to focus on the regulatory clarity, innovation, and actual adoption metrics instead of the long-term momentum.
