Stablecoin transactions surged to a record $33 trillion in 2025, fueled by US policy support under President Trump and fast-growing institutional adoption. USDC led with $18.3 trillion in flows, beating Tether’s USDT. Crucially, stablecoin usage is rising outside DeFi, suggesting broader mainstream demand for “digital dollars” amid ongoing global uncertainty.
Bitcoin plunged below $70,000, erasing gains built since the 2024 election victory. The drop reflects a wider crypto slump and concerns that the Federal Reserve may shift policy, alongside notable outflows from Bitcoin ETFs. Weakness in the tech sector is adding pressure, while investors watch for possible forced liquidations among crypto miners.
Bitcoin is trading near $66,510 as geopolitical tensions add pressure and a massive $14 billion options expiry heightens short-term volatility. Analysts say there’s no clear trend reversal yet, but bullish momentum could target $75,000 if the current pressure eases. Still, broader crypto market structure appears stable despite recent declines in major coins.
Bitcoin’s “digital gold” pitch is losing traction as traders shift toward precious metals. Gold and silver funds pulled in strong inflows, but Bitcoin-linked funds saw withdrawals. In response, crypto-native platforms are expanding commodity perps, betting investors want both hedges and speculative exposure amid dollar weakness and macro uncertainty.
