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

2025.12.23 19:10:48

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.

CryptoQuant: Bitcoin Could Rebound to $71,500 to $81,200 if Macro Risks Subside

On April 2, on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant (per The Block) released a report noting Bitcoin’s spot demand remains in “deep contraction” despite ongoing institutional buying pressure. As of late March, apparent demand has fallen by roughly 63,000 BTC, signaling selling pressure still outpaces buying pressure. CryptoQuant emphasized: “Even as institutions accelerate buying, overall apparent demand keeps contracting—meaning retail and other market players’ selling has outstripped incremental institutional purchases.” This demand contraction has lasted since late November 2025, “confirming the broader market remains in a chip distribution phase.” Whales holding 1,000–10,000 BTC have shifted to net distributors, offloading roughly 188,000 BTC in the past year.
