Bitcoin’s down 15% in the last week and 25% since Trump’s inauguration. But whatever. Teng wants investors to zoom out and take the long view. Pullbacks happen. The market recovers. Rinse and repeat.
Multiple factors triggered this bloodbath. Regulatory uncertainty under Trump’s administration has investors spooked. Add macroeconomic pressures, inflation concerns, and new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China—it’s a perfect storm.
Markets reeling as Trump-era uncertainties collide with economic headwinds in perfect regulatory storm.
Plus, after the massive 2023-2024 rally, profit-taking was inevitable. The market was overvalued anyway.
Despite the carnage, institutional players aren’t backing down. BlackRock partnered with Securitize for a tokenized fund. Bitcoin ETFs continue seeing strong cash flow. The gap between DeFi and traditional finance is narrowing.
Stablecoins now handle 1 billion transactions yearly, worth a staggering $8 trillion.
Future market movement hinges on ETF cash flow trends, Fed interest rate decisions, and the upcoming Bitcoin Halving in April 2025. The current bear market is expected to stabilize once cryptocurrencies have fallen 70-85% from peaks, following historical patterns. Regulatory clarity and institutional adoption rates will also play significant roles.
Former Binance chief CZ previously predicted a Bitcoin “crash” from $101,000 to $85,000. Now he’s joking about a “crash” from $1,001,000 to $985,000. CZ has maintained that he did not sell any cryptocurrency during the recent market crash.
His 2025 Bitcoin projections range from $85,500 to $165,000, with a stretched target up to $185,000. He even hinted at a potential rally to $1 million. Some experts are even more optimistic, predicting Bitcoin could reach $225,000 by 2025 if market conditions improve.
History shows cryptocurrencies typically recover after major pullbacks. With increased accessibility through tokenization, growing stablecoin adoption, and AI integration driving innovation, industry leaders remain bullish long-term.
This crash might just be setting the stage for something much bigger.
