October was rated as one of the worst months of 2026, but not everything was bad! Some coins still posted impressive gains. Here are the biggest winners over the 30 days ending November 2:

• 🥇 BEAM: +160%
• 🥈 ICNT: +92%
• 🥉 BAT: +58%
• 🔹 KNTQ: +44%
• 🔹 Q: +40%

Another sector that weathered the downturn was on-chain trading card markets 🃏. Their monthly trading volume reached $455 million, up 26% from September and making it the second-best month of 2026. Most of this activity was concentrated in Collector Crypt, whose market share is growing.

Why has this sector held up? Its demand depends on collectibles and their availability, not on the performance of $BTC or other altcoins, so it can grow even when the rest of the market is in the red.

So, even in a difficult month, opportunities don’t disappear—they just become more selective. Project-specific news matters more than overall market trends.
