After a Rocky Year, What’s the Future of Cryptocurrency?
Summary
2025 was supposed to be crypto’s year. President Trump began his term by announcing a strategic Bitcoin reserve and promised to back the market for the currencies. But Bitcoin is down nearly 30% from its all time high and crypto companies and investors have been hammered in the market. All this while Trump’s crypto czar, David Sacks, operates under accusations of conflicts of interest, and the Trump family continues to enrich itself with crypto-related enterprises. We talk about the year in crypto.
