Crypto 2025 Wrapped: Peaks, Crashes, and Hope for a Massive 2026 Bull Run 🚀
2025 was a rollercoaster for crypto. Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $124,752.53 on October 6, driven by spot ETF inflows and institutional adoption. Ethereum hit $4,687.71 on the same day, boosted by network upgrades like Pectra.
But the year ended on a dip. As of December 29, BTC closed at $87,138.14 (down ~30% from peak), ETH at $2,934.54 (down ~37%), and many altcoins fell 40%+. The total crypto market cap peaked around $4 trillion in July-August but slipped to about $2.96 trillion by year-end, wiping out over $1 trillion in value amid volatility.
What caused the pullback? Shifting rate expectations, global economic pressures, and trade tensions. Still, fundamentals strengthened: more companies added BTC to treasuries, stablecoins grew on-chain, and pro-crypto policies gained traction.
Looking to 2026: Could lower rates spark a new bull run? Analysts eye $200K+ BTC if adoption accelerates.
