Crypto’s Second Act

Is 2025 the year crypto finally breaks into the mainstream? With Donald Trump returning to office on January 20, 2025, the cryptocurrency market stands at a pivotal moment. Bolstered by favorable policies and institutional interest, digital assets are poised for unprecedented growth—but not without challenges.

Setting the Stage: Where We Are Now

The cryptocurrency market closed out 2024 on a high note. Bitcoin breached $100,000 for the first time in history, driven by spot ETF approvals and institutional adoption. The total market capitalization surged to $3.52 trillion by year-end. Analysts predict this momentum will carry into 2025, with Bitcoin potentially reaching $210,000 to $250,000 by year-end. 

Trump's administration has already signaled a pro-crypto stance, appointing regulators who favor innovation over restriction. This shift comes after years of regulatory uncertainty under previous administrations.
