The Complex Crypto Cycle: Altcoin Season on Hold. Photo by BeInCrypto

The recent US government shutdown has triggered uncertainty in traditional financial markets, prompting investors to seek alternative, safer assets.

As the US dollar experiences a slight depreciation amid political gridlock, liquidity is increasingly flowing into the crypto sector. This has boosted the performance of several crypto-related stocks, coupled with their ongoing ecosystem developments. Here are some to watch closely this week.

HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd (HIVE)

HIVE Digital shares closed Friday at $4.46, recording a 2.29% increase on the day. The crypto stock is one to watch this week following the company’s strong September production report and rapid progress at its new facility.

In an October 6 report, the mining giant announced that it produced 267 BTC in September, representing an 8% month-over-month increase from August’s 247 BTC and a 138% year-over-year surge from 112 BTC in September 2024.

The report also confirmed the near completion of HIVE Digital’s 100 MW Phase 3 Valenzuela facility, which is ahead of schedule. HIVE’s production efficiency continues to outperform broader market challenges, with September’s 267 BTC marking its highest monthly output of 2025.

This strong operational outlook and improving market sentiment position HIVE as a cryptostock to watch this week.

However, if selling pressure builds, the stock could retreat to around $3.91.

Digi Power X (DGXX)

DGXX closed Friday’s session at $2.64, noting a modest 1% uptick. The modest uptick reflects cautious optimism as investors digest the company’s latest operational update.

On October 1, the company announced that its ARMS 200 (AI-Ready Modular Solution) has achieved Tier III certification under the ANSI/TIA-942 standard, validated by EPI. This places Digi Power X among a handful of global providers with certified modular AI data center platforms.

The first Tier III-certified ARMS 200 pod is scheduled for delivery to the company’s Alabama facility by November, and commissioning is expected in December.

The company has also deepened its partnership with Super Micro Computer (Supermicro) to integrate AI-optimized rack-scale systems into the ARMS platform.

Financially, Digi Power X remains well-capitalized, with approximately $29 million in cash, Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and deposits as of September 30.

If these updates drive buy-side pressure as the week progresses, DGXX could climb toward $2.95, with a potential breakout on strong volume.

However, if selling pressure increases, the stock’s price could fall below $2.55.

Riot Platforms (RIOT)

Last Friday, RIOT traded up slightly, noting a 1% gain to close at $19.44. The company has also released its operational update for 2025, which may impact trading behavior this week.

According to the report released on October 3, Riot Platforms produced 445 BTC in September, representing a 7% decline month over month but an 8% increase year over year.

The company averaged 14.8 BTC daily, down from 15.4 BTC in August. Riot sold 465 BTC during the month, generating $52.6 million in net proceeds at an average price of $113,043 per BTC. Despite the slight dip in output, the company’s deployed hash rate remained strong at 36.5 EH/s, up 29% from the same period last year.

If the news of the decline in Riot’s Bitcoin production during September dampens investor sentiment, demand for the stock could weaken, pushing the price below $18.84 over the next few sessions.RIOT Price Analysis. Source: TradingView

On the other hand, if buying activity strengthens as the week progresses, the stock could climb toward $23.66.
