2025 Crypto Milestones Review: Trump Leads Market Rally, 10/11 Sees Epic Liquidation Event, Crypto Compliance Sees Historic Breakthrough
BlockBeats News, December 23, 2025
The year 2025 brought unprecedented upheaval and turning points to the cryptocurrency industry. From the pro-crypto policy since Trump took office, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's departure, the signing of the GENIUS Act, and the ongoing excitement around a Bitcoin ETF, to creating the highest single-day liquidation event in crypto history with the 10.11 Great Crash, this year's major events resembled a rollercoaster of highs and lows.
Trump—undoubtedly the most influential figure in the 2025 crypto market trend. The emergence of TRUMP coin marked the peak of FOMO in the market. The news of tariff imposition triggered a crypto market crash, while signing executive orders allowing retirement accounts to invest in crypto once again propelled Bitcoin into a bullish trend, reaching new all-time highs.
The regulatory environment shifted from strict enforcement to innovation-friendly, as the U.S. formally moved towards the vision of being the "Crypto Capital." Platform lawsuits settling, institutional funds pouring in, stablecoin frameworks being established—these milestones not only reshaped the global crypto landscape but also injected strong confidence into the industry.
BlockBeats' "2025 Cryptocurrency Major Events Review" highlights the most influential events of the year, documenting every key milestone from meme coin frenzy to regulatory easing. Looking back at 2025, we see the crypto space embarking on a journey in a full-blown FOMO state. While the market gradually entered a "challenging" mode, it is also gearing up for a more mature, compliant future.
