Bitcoin’s 2025 Bull Run Stands on Stronger Legs Than 2020 or 2017
Forget déjà vu—this rally’s built different. Two structural upgrades separate today’s Bitcoin market from its predecessors, and Wall Street’s FOMO just hit overdrive.
1. Institutional armor replaces retail hype
Spot ETFs turned whales into hodlers. BlackRock isn’t dumping at 20% corrections like 2017’s Telegram-pump crowd.
2. Derivatives markets finally grew up
CME’s regulated futures absorb volatility that used to trigger death spirals—no more Mt. Gox-style domino collapses.
Sure, the suits still don’t get it (looking at you, Jamie Dimon), but money talks louder than outdated banker takes. This bull’s got staying power—until the next ‘hedge against inflation’ narrative gets co-opted by some overleveraged crypto bro, anyway.
