Crypto Markets Stumble as Public Markets Soar: What’s Next for Digital Assets in 2025?
Crypto’s acting weird—again. While traditional markets hit record highs, digital assets wobble like a DeFi project after a caffeine binge.
Here’s the twist: This divergence isn’t just a blip. It’s a stress test for crypto’s ‘uncorrelated asset’ narrative.
Public markets feast on rate cuts and AI hype. Meanwhile, crypto traders juggle memecoins and ETF outflows—because nothing says ‘mature asset class’ like dog-themed tokens outperforming Bitcoin.
The big question: Is this crypto’s consolidation before the next bull run, or proof that Wall Street’s petro-dollar party still calls the shots?
One hedge fund manager quipped: ‘We’re either early or wrong. As usual.’ Classic finance brain—can’t tell FOMO from a balance sheet.
