On December 21, 2025, IOSG co-founder Jocy shared a crypto market update, noting 2025 as a structural turning point. Institutional ownership hit 24%, while retail investors exited 66%. Despite a 5.4% BTC price drop for the year, the market reached a $126,080 peak. Jocy called the current phase an institutional accumulation period, not a bull market top. He expects BTC to trade between $87,000 and $95,000 in the next 3–6 months, with a $120,000–$150,000 target in early 2026. Key drivers include U.S. midterms, regulatory shifts, and ETF infrastructure growth.
