The year 2025 is destined to be an extraordinary one for the encryption industry. We welcomed a new US government that claims to support encryption and AI, and we should have anticipated a surge, but what happened? The market instead turned into a meat grinder.

The data is clear: most competing coins will plummet by 80%-99% in 2025. In contrast, Bitcoin has steadied itself - its market cap share has returned to the levels seen in 2019-2020, exceeding 60%. Meanwhile, Ethereum's trading price is basically no different from that in 2022.

What's even more heartbreaking is that the competitive coin market has completely split, with the number of coins ranging from 40 million to 50 million. This is simply a process of a bubble bursting.

But the interesting thing here is that there have actually been no shortage of positive news - the regulatory framework is gradually becoming clearer, ETFs are being approved one after another, companies are beginning to truly deploy blockchain, institutions are frantically entering BTC and ETH... yet the stock market is firmly suppressing the encryption market.

So 2025 is referred to by many as the "year of industry maturity", while it is also a year of large-scale exit for many practitioners and investors. Ironic, isn't it?

As 2026 approaches, there are several key development directions that those who are still holding on must pay attention to. For example, the prediction market has already become one of the fastest-growing verticals by 2025...

BTC-1.39%

ETH-1.06%

Damn, it's another wave of playing people for suckers. BTC can still hold up, but other coins are really all dead. An 80% fall is still considered good; some have gone straight to zero. These garbage coins should have been cleaned up long ago. Regulation comes and instead suppresses the market? I can't quite grasp this logic. Prediction market? That's a pitfall too; do we really have to step in it again? HODLers, fighting! Next year we should be able to turn things around, no, maybe we won't be able to. Institutions are crazily buying BTC and still can't suppress the market data; then no one can be saved. Wait, 40 million to 50 million types of coins? This number is outrageous, are you sure it's not inflated? The so-called "industry maturity" is just the maturity of playing suckers. I have high hopes for the prediction market, but still need to be cautious; the risks are significant. See you in 2026, shall we gamble a bit?

The crypto world is still the crypto world; no one can compare in the art of storytelling. Wait, 40 to 50 million types of coins? That number is outrageous, how is that possible... To put it bluntly, it's BTC making money while scamcoins hit the dirt. A ton of favourable information, but the stock market crushes it all; this logic is just absurd. Next year, is the prediction market going to da moon? Let's first see where this year's prophets have disappeared to. Those who are still holding on are truly warriors; I think they are just suckers.
