2025 is a year of intense collision and deep intertwining between cryptocurrency and the traditional financial system. From Bitcoin being officially included in the U.S. strategic reserves to stablecoin legislation being implemented in multiple countries worldwide, digital assets have rapidly entered the mainstream spotlight.
On one side, there is a surge in market capitalization, the breaking of ETF barriers, and a showdown in market value with top tech stocks; on the other side, there are ongoing shocks from hacker attacks, regulatory lawsuits, and state intervention.
The industry is carving out a new trajectory that is both bright and thorny in the eternal tension between "compliance" and "decentralization"—this is not only an upgrade of a financial experiment but also heralds the dawn of a new global asset order.
