Why 2025 Has Been an Incredible Year for Crypto
The turn of a new year always brings plenty of optimism for the cryptocurrency industry. The question is, has 2025 delivered and if so, why has it been an incredible year for the industry?
Bitcoin Hits Record High
A strong indicator for the performance of the cryptocurrency industry is the price of Bitcoin. When it comes to the value of cryptocurrency, Bitcoin continues to set the benchmark and where Bitcoin goes, other coins tend to follow. In 2025, we have seen Bitcoin increase to an all-time high of $118,000. That means Bitcoin has risen by more than a quarter in 2025 and anyone who has invested in the digital currency will be delighted. Such has been the success of Bitcoin this year, it has surpassed Nvidia, and other cryptocurrencies, such as Ether, have also enjoyed a rise. Ether, which is the second-largest cryptocurrency, has continued to rise throughout 2025 and could easily end the year at an all-time high.
Increasing Crypto Adoption
There is no doubt corporate interest in cryptocurrency has grown in 2025. More companies are choosing to add Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to their portfolio, with Amazon, Tesla, MicroStrategy, and Alphabet all good examples of companies actively adding cryptocurrency to their portfolio. The online gambling industry has been one of the fastest to adopt cryptocurrency and we now have dedicated crypto casinos. While some standard online casinos have started to accept cryptocurrency, it’s the emergence of the dedicated crypto based casinos that have caused the most excitement. Even the sign up bonus is available in cryptocurrency, giving players the opportunity to double the amount of crypto they have to play with at online casinos.
Pro-Crypto Reforms
One of the leading drivers behind what has been an incredible year for crypto is the pro-crypto reforms introduced by President Donald Trump. Regulation has always been one of the major concerns for anyone considering the purchase of cryptocurrency. However, while some governments remain on the fence and have even threatened to ban crypto completely, President Trump has moved to support the cryptocurrency industry. In fact, he has established the US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve which means the United States officially recognises Bitcoin as a strategic asset. There was an ongoing lawsuit against the crypto exchange Binance but that has been dropped following the dismissal of Gary Gensler as leader of the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have also witnessed positive changes to cryptocurrency regulation in Europe and Asia, which only adds confidence to the crypto industry.
Tokenisation
All businesses want to raise funds and going public has always been the most common method. However, in 2025 we are seeing more small businesses turn to tokenisation as a method of raising funds. With the increased use of AI, we are going to see more unique businesses and they may choose to go the tokenisation route rather than public funding. This will allow the small businesses emerging thanks to AI to raise funds by selling digital assets rather than shares.
