Paragraph 1
Cryptocurrency markets ended 2025 with losses, even after Trump’s re-election in late 2024 initially sparked optimism for digital assets. Major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum posted declines by year-end despite earlier surges.
Paragraph 2
Trump’s return to the White House in early 2025, following a campaign focused on an “America First” agenda, aimed to revive the US economy, increase employment, and reduce living costs through tariffs and tax reforms. On March 6, 2025, Trump signed an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and a US Digital Asset Stockpile, declaring a vision for the United States to become a global Bitcoin superpower. Following this announcement and interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve, Bitcoin reached a record $126,199, while Ethereum rose to $4,956.
Paragraph 3
However, global uncertainties tied to the administration’s policies and questions about the Fed’s future monetary stance led to selling pressure across crypto markets. Bitcoin, after surpassing $100,000 in January 2025, began declining in February, dropping below $80,000 in March. The cryptocurrency rebounded above $100,000 in May following a 90-day US-China tariff pause but fell again below $85,000 by November due to renewed concerns over Fed rate cuts and high technology stock valuations. Total assets in Bitcoin spot ETFs declined by October 2025 but still held a value of about $125 billion.
