Bearish sentiment lingered in late 2025 as Bitcoin dipped from its $120,000 high, ETF inflows stalled, and Countering the Financing of Terrorism regulations pressured liquidity and crypto markets. Unlike past cycles, this downturn lacks regulatory shocks or liquidity crises. The industry may be shifting toward real-world utility, with Bitcoin gaining traction as an institutional asset. AI growth, Fed policy, and regulatory moves like the GENIUS and CLARITY Acts are pushing compliance. Stablecoins, prediction markets, and on-chain equities show promise. a16z highlights AI agent identity, privacy chains, and staked media as emerging trends. KOLs stress long-term potential, urging patience and real-world adoption.
