May 2025 was a pivotal month for the crypto market, marked by sharp price movements, major political statements, and technological innovations.
Bitcoin: A New High & Sudden Reversal
Bitcoin (BTC) broke past $110,000, fueled by optimism surrounding a temporary easing in U.S.-China trade tensions. The market was further boosted by Donald Trump’s comments supporting the growth of the crypto industry in the U.S. Spot BTC ETFs saw strong capital inflows, while institutional players stockpiled stablecoins, preparing for future buys.
However, three days later, Trump accused China of violating trade agreements, triggering panic across markets. As a result, BTC dropped to $103,000.
Despite this correction, institutional investors continue accumulating Bitcoin, while ETFs hit record inflows. At the time of writing, BTC is trading at $105,155.
Ethereum & the Pectra Upgrade
Ethereum (ETH) introduced the Pectra update, improving network scalability and lowering fees. This helped ETH stay above $1,800, while the Solana ecosystem saw increased Total Value Locked (TVL), boosting DeFi interest.
Political Developments Impacting Crypto
- U.S.-China tensions escalate, increasing crypto market volatility.
- Russia expanded its crypto holdings, with 22% of Russian investors holding Ethereum.
- The European Union approved new DeFi regulations, potentially affecting token liquidity and availability.
Top Cryptos of the Month
- Monero (XMR) entered the top 25, surpassing Litecoin and Toncoin. A 300% surge was driven by growing demand for privacy coins and speculation about potential relistings on major exchanges.
- Dogecoin (DOGE) caught investor attention, as whales bought 740 million DOGE, anticipating another bullish wave.
- Lido DAO (LDO) strengthened its position in Ethereum liquid staking, with buying volume increasing after bouncing off a strong support level.
