BlockBeats News, December 23, 2025 The year 2025 brought unprecedented upheaval and turning points to the cryptocurrency industry. From the pro-crypto policy since Trump took office, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's departure, the signing of the GENIUS Act, and the ongoing excitement around a Bitcoin ETF, to creating the highest single-day liquidation event in crypto history with the 10.11 Great Crash, this year's major events resembled a rollercoaster of highs and lows. Trump—undoubtedly the most influential figure in the 2025 crypto market trend. The emergence of TRUMP coin marked the peak of FOMO in the market. The news of tariff imposition triggered a crypto market crash, while signing executive orders allowing retirement accounts to invest in crypto once again propelled Bitcoin into a bullish trend, reaching new all-time highs. The regulatory environment shifted from strict enforcement to innovation-friendly, as the U.S. formally moved towards the vision of being the "Crypto Capital." Platform lawsuits settling, institutional funds pouring in, stablecoin frameworks being established—these milestones not only reshaped the global crypto landscape but also injected strong confidence into the industry. BlockBeats' "2025 Cryptocurrency Major Events Review" highlights the most influential events of the year, documenting every key milestone from meme coin frenzy to regulatory easing. Looking back at 2025, we see the crypto space embarking on a journey in a full-blown FOMO state. While the market gradually entered a "challenging" mode, it is also gearing up for a more mature, compliant future.

Charles Hoskinson recently argued that the launch of TRUMP three days before President Donald Trump's inauguration derailed what would have been a 70-vote Senate majority for the CLARITY Act and turned a unified crypto-policy push into a partisan battle. In an interview, Hoskinson said that in December 2024, “we were expecting about 70 senators to vote for the CLARITY act and a super majority of the house,” and that launching TRUMP before the bill passed turned crypto “from bipartisan to crypto equals Trump equals bad equals corruption.” He also tied the coin's launch to the Bitcoin-only rally that defined 2025, arguing that “government interference” and the Trump scandal distorted flows away from altcoins and locked capital in BTC. It's a compelling narrative: one bad decision by Trump blew up the policy and market setup. The legislative record and market data tell a more complicated story. TRUMP launched in January 2025 with 200 million tokens sold and 800 million retained by Trump-controlled entities. Ethics experts and some pro-crypto Republicans immediately flagged it as a conflict-of-interest vehicle: a sitting president selling a meme coin while setting crypto policy. By May 6, the first concrete legislative fallout appeared. Maxine Waters pulled the plug on a joint House Financial Services and Agriculture hearing on crypto market-structure rules, explicitly citing Trump's memecoin and World Liberty Financial as abuses of power. Hoskinson is right that TRUMP made the legislative path harder. But a few details complicate the picture. First, crypto had already drifted into Trumpworld before the coin. Trump campaigned as “the crypto president,” raised significant funds from the industry, and cut a lucrative deal with World Liberty Financial, where his family claims a large share of token and fee revenue. Ethics concerns about that deal and its stablecoin USD1 were surfacing well before Waters killed that May hearing. Second, the legislative story didn't end with the canceled hearing. Despite the drama, House Republicans and a slice of Democrats still moved core bills. By mid-2025, the House approved the GENIUS Act for stablecoins and the Digital Asset Market Structure CLARITY Act with bipartisan votes, though far from unanimous. Coverage stressed that “many Democrats fiercely oppose” the package, viewing it as too friendly to industry and too entangled with Trump's personal ventures, even as others crossed the aisle to vote yes. That coalition looks different from the 70-senator cakewalk Hoskinson described. It's the GOP that is almost unified, along with a minority of Democrats, while a loud progressive faction and ethics hawks push back. Third, Waters' objection centered on self-dealing and abuse of office, not partisan hostility to crypto. She argued she couldn't sit in a “crypto market structure” hearing while the sitting president was running a memecoin and stablecoin empire that might personally benefit from whatever regime they wrote. The distinction matters: it wasn't that Democrats suddenly decided “crypto equals Trump.” It was that Trump's projects made conflict-of-interest questions unavoidable. Votes and the timeline There is no public whip count showing 70 locked-in Senate votes for CLARITY in December 2024. The record shows that congressional committees have advanced bills with bipartisan votes, but Democrats are increasingly split between centrists and progressives. Stories about World Liberty and TRUMP hardened opposition among Democrats who might otherwise have been persuadable. At least one major hearing was canceled due to those Trump-linked projects, Waters said in her statement. There was a bipartisan lane for crypto, but it was fragile and contingent on the White House not turning regulation into a vehicle for presidential enrichment. TRUMP exposed a conflict-of-interest problem that many Democrats were already nervous about, rather than creating partisan opposition from scratch. Even after the TRUMP backlash, Congress still managed to pass GENIUS and move CLARITY out of the House, which suggests the memecoin didn't kill legislation outright. Bitcoin-only rally was already baked in Hoskinson also tied the Bitcoin-only rally and lagging alts to “government interference” and the memecoin saga. The market data points to different drivers. Several independent 2025 reports hit the same themes. An institutional and retail flow shock into spot Bitcoin ETFs, with research showing that new ETF buyers overwhelmingly concentrated on BTC, a pattern that “shifted capital away from the broader altcoin market.” A maturing, more cautious market, with CoinGlass and other derivatives shops flagging “persistent weakness in ETH and the broader altcoin market” tied to reduced risk appetite, tougher competition, and lack of new killer apps, not just politics. Bitcoin dominance ground higher through mid-2025, with market commentary repeatedly noting BTC's share of the total crypto market cap in the mid-60s to 70%, while altcoins lagged even during upswings. One June analysis explicitly tied that to ETF-driven demand being “treated similarly to gold,” with dips bought and pumps sustained, while altcoin liquidity stayed thin. Zooming into coins like XRP or SOL shows a story driven by product and regulatory plumbing: ETF approvals and pauses, uncertainty around which assets the SEC will tolerate in exchange-traded wrappers, and uneven institutional custody support. When the SEC green-lit and then paused a Bitwise altcoin index ETF conversion, XRP and other majors suffered whipsaws due to regulatory uncertainty, not TRUMP drama. Trump's memecoin and World Liberty scandals added headline risk and made some institutions more cautious about crypto exposure, while ethics questions were unresolved. However, the primary reasons this cycle looks like “Bitcoin first, maybe alts later” are structural. ETFs and treasuries made BTC the cleanest institutional trade. Regulation is clearer for BTC and, to a lesser extent, ETH than for most altcoins. Risk appetite and innovation are thinner outside a handful of L1 ecosystems. None of that required TRUMP to exist. Yet, Hoskinson is right on the optics. Launching a presidential memecoin before a major regulatory bill was always going to complicate the politics. Waters' May statement makes that concrete: she couldn't negotiate market structure while the president was monetizing his office through the same instruments they were trying to regulate. However, the broader causal claims run into the data. No 70-vote Senate coalition was documented in December 2024. There was a fragile bipartisan opening that Trump's crypto empire, consisting of World Liberty first, then TRUMP, made politically harder for Democrats who feared endorsing self-dealing.
