2025 Crypto Milestones Review: Trump Leads Market Rally, 10/11 Sees Epic Liquidation Event, Crypto Compliance Sees Historic Breakthrough

2 hours ago

December 23, 2025 The cryptocurrency industry experienced unprecedented upheaval and defining turning points in 2025. From pro-crypto policies under the Trump administration, SEC Chair Gary Gensler’s departure, the signing of the GENIUS Act, and sustained excitement around Bitcoin ETFs, to the 10.11 “Great Crash” that set a record for crypto’s largest single-day liquidation event — this year’s major moments were a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Trump was undoubtedly the most influential figure shaping 2025’s crypto market trends. The launch of TRUMP coin marked the peak of market FOMO. Tariff announcements triggered a crypto crash, while his executive order reallowing retirement accounts to invest in crypto sent Bitcoin soaring to new all-time highs. The regulatory landscape shifted from strict enforcement to innovation-friendly, as the U.S. formally moved toward its goal of becoming the “Crypto Capital.” Settled platform lawsuits, inflows of institutional capital, and the establishment of stablecoin frameworks — these milestones not only reshaped the global crypto landscape but also boosted strong industry confidence. BlockBeats’ *2025 Cryptocurrency Major Events Review* highlights the year’s most influential moments, documenting key milestones from meme coin mania to regulatory easing. Looking back at 2025, the crypto space entered a full-blown FOMO phase before shifting into a “challenging” market mode — while also gearing up for a more mature, compliant future.

Vitalik: Ethereum Needs to Set a Smart Contract Size Limit Due to DoS Risk

On December 23, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin addressed a community question: “Why does Ethereum still have a contract size limit?” He cited concerns over DoS risks as the core reason. Once Ethereum’s state structure upgrades to a unified binary tree (per EIP-7864), unlimited contract size is anticipated. However, gas costs and mechanism design for deploying extremely large contracts still need to be resolved. Currently, costs are calculated on a per-byte basis, leading to an actual contract size cap of around 82KB.

The U.S. Department of Justice has just released nearly 30,000 pages of the Epstein case files, including allegations against Trump

December 23 — The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has officially released nearly 30,000 pages of Jeffrey Epstein-related documents. These include false, sensational allegations against former President Trump that were submitted to the FBI on the eve of the 2020 election. The DOJ has emphasized the allegations are baseless and entirely fabricated, noting that if they had any credibility, they would have been used to attack President Trump long ago.
