2025 saw major geopolitical shifts, with Trump’s U.S. pulling out of the Paris Agreement and WHO, while escalating tensions with Iran. The Gaza ceasefire collapsed quickly, and the Russia-Ukraine war continued without resolution. Venezuela faced U.S. oil sanctions, South Korea held a snap election, and India-Pakistan tensions flared over Kashmir. Amid these events, the fear and greed index remained volatile, and altcoins to watch showed mixed performance. Sudan and Cambodia-Thailand conflicts also dragged on, with long-term impacts expected into 2026.

In accordance with Jin10, 2025 proved to be a year of intense geopolitical and military developments, with no respite from the tensions of 2024. The year saw the U.S. under Trump significantly altering its foreign policy, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and WHO, and launching military actions against Iran. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire in Gaza was followed by renewed hostilities. The Russia-Ukraine war continued with no decisive breakthroughs, while U.S.-Venezuela relations deteriorated sharply over oil sanctions. Other major events included South Korea’s presidential impeachment and snap election, India-Pakistan conflict over Kashmir, and ongoing wars in Sudan and Cambodia-Thailand border disputes. These events are expected to have lasting impacts into 2026.
