Jakarta, Pintu News – As October 2025 approaches, the crypto market looks set to close the month strong, with total market capitalization back near the $4 trillion mark. However, the performance of altcoins this month was quite mixed – some managed to set new records, while others still lagged behind.
October is traditionally known as one of the most bullish months for cryptocurrencies. In this analysis, the CCN website highlights three altcoins that have the potential to break new record highs in October 2025, while reviewing the driving factors behind their momentum and possible price targets.
Aster is one of the altcoins that has the potential to break a new record high. At the time of writing, ASTER is trading at $1.92, down about 20% from its record high on September 24 at $2.24.

One of the main drivers of Aster’s price surge is the positive sentiment towards perpetual decentralized exchanges (DEXs). Support from Yzi Labs (formerly Binance Labs) further strengthened the trend, while public support from Changpeng “CZ” Zhao added to the market euphoria.
Looking ahead to October, ASTER is considered to be quite ready to test record highs again. During a recent X Space session, CZ explained the project’s mission, including the fact that some former Binance employees now own shares in Aster.
He also emphasized that Aster is designed to compete directly with Binance, not Hyperliquid , although it still indirectly supports the BNB ecosystem.
“Few understand this. Aster competes with Binance, but helps BNB,” CZ wrote on X.
On the on-chain side, Aster’s momentum looks increasingly solid. Data from DeFiLlama shows that Aster’s DEX perpetual trading volume surpassed $225 billion in the last seven days. Sustained demand on this scale reinforces ASTER’s potential to retest its record highs.

Technically, the 4-hour chart (29/9) shows a bullish pattern. ASTER formed a double bottom pattern that coincided with the horizontal support of the descending triangle pattern. The token also managed to break the upper trend line of the triangle. In addition, the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator moved above the zero line, signaling that capital flows are returning and buyers are becoming dominant.
If this momentum holds, ASTER has a chance to break the resistance at $2.42 and advance to around $3.61 by October 2025. However, if demand slows down and liquidity dwindles, this bullish setup could fail. In a negative scenario, ASTER risks falling back to around $1.26.
Another altcoin that could potentially hit a new record high in October is Mantle , the native token of the Ethereum layer-2 project. Throughout September, MNT has surged nearly 50%, only about 8% away from its highest peak.
This surge was driven by increased buying pressure. On the daily chart (29/9), MNT is now forming a bullish flag pattern, with the price testing the upper trendline as a breakout area that could determine the next big move.

If the breakout is confirmed, MNT has a chance to break the resistance at $1.91. From there, momentum could carry the price towards new record highs around $2.75.
However, if selling pressure increases, Mantle is at risk of failing to break resistance and instead correcting back to the $1.39 range.
Closing out the list of altcoins that have the potential to set new records is ApeX (APEX), the native token of ApeX Protocol, one of the rising DEX perpetual projects. At the time of writing, APEX is trading at $2.27, having recorded an incredible surge of 762% in just the last seven days.

Much of this momentum came from bullish sentiment towards DEX perpetuals, which also drove interest in rivals like Aster. However, APEX has managed to build its own narrative.
On September 28, the ApeX team announced plans to launch a buyback program that will begin in the next few days.
“Starting next week, 50% of ApeX Protocol’s daily revenue will be used to buy back APEX tokens from the market, plus a commitment of $12,000,000. Over time, this allocation will gradually increase until it reaches 90% of total revenue,” said the ApeX team.
Initiatives like this usually reflect team confidence, reduce circulating supply, and increase demand pressure – a combination that could push APEX prices towards new record highs in October.
Currently, APEX is still about 40% below the all-time high reached a year ago. Technically, the 4-hour chart (29/9) shows that the Awesome Oscillator (AO) is in the positive zone, signaling stronger bullish momentum.

If this strength continues, APEX has a chance to break the resistance level at $2.71 and advance to set a new record around $4.27. However, this bullish scenario only applies if momentum remains stable. If it weakens, APEX is at risk of correcting to the area around $1.75.
