Most Influential 2025: Crypto Industry Review

Abstract generation in progress

Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2025 Original Link: This year, Bitcoin broke an all-time high, reaching $126,000 a few short months ago, Ethereum saw not one but two major network upgrades take effect, Solana broke into Wall Street and through it all retail and institutional traders gained ever more access to crypto markets through wrapped products like exchange-traded funds.

Continuing the end of 2024’s crypto industry optimism, 2025 saw the resurgence of the U.S. as a dominant market in crypto for both retail and institutional players, the cementing of cryptocurrencies as an asset class for the mainstream investor and even the growth of artificial intelligence in crypto spaces.

That’s not to say the news has been consistently positive. Markets have slipped over recent months and the broader U.S. and global economy are showing signs of stress. The crypto industry received vivid and unfortunate reminders in the form of wrench attacks and kidnappings that personal security cannot just be taken for granted, and malicious actors are on track to break records for how much crypto they’ve been able to steal through hacks and other compromises.

BTC-1.84%
ETH-1.64%
SOL-4.37%

BTC has broken 126,000 and you're still arguing about this? It should have already risen to 500,000. Institutions just want to cash out after fleecing retail investors.

I didn't buy the dip at 126k Bitcoin, I had already sold everything... This market movement is really unbelievable.

I’ll laugh when Bitcoin hits 126k. Should’ve held onto those chips tighter; now everyone who's all-in is analyzing their on-chain asset allocation. Two Ethereum upgrades? That’s nothing—the key is still the contract audit risk factor. Solana breaking into Wall Street? The moves of those institutional wallets are the real signal; gotta keep a close eye on private key flows.
