H1 2025 Crypto Boom: FBS Breaks Down Market Trends & Predicts H2’s Game-Changing Drivers
Crypto markets just rode a rollercoaster—here's what exploded, what imploded, and why Wall Street still doesn't get it.
The H1 2025 Scorecard
Bitcoin flirted with new ATHs before regulators crashed the party. DeFi protocols bled TVL—turns out 'unstoppable code' stops pretty fast when yield farmers panic. Meanwhile, memecoins somehow outperformed hedge funds (again).
The H2 Playbook
Watch for Layer 2 adoption hitting escape velocity as gas fees strangle Ethereum (yes, still). CBDCs will 'partner' with crypto—read: attempt co-optation. And brace for the SEC's annual 'regulation by tantrum' season.
One prediction? TradFi giants will finally 'discover' blockchain—right after retail bags the profits. As always.
