As we enter 2025, the world of cryptocurrency remains a focal point attracting attention from investors and experts. A series of recent articles have provided important insights into the future of cryptocurrency. Below is an overview of market trends and the changes expected to shape the future of cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin and Downward Trends
The Bitcoin (BTC) market is undergoing a prolonged bearish trading phase. The price of Bitcoin recently dropped below $92,000 due to profit-taking activities, although significant buying from institutions like MicroStrategy continues. As of now, the BTC price has slightly recovered and is around $92,800. Traders predict that this price trend may last until February, when the policies of the new president Donald Trump are implemented, suggesting that the market will not experience much immediate volatility.
Altcoin and Other Cryptocurrency Markets
Not only Bitcoin, but also altcoins are affected by this downward trend. Specifically, there has been a net outflow of capital from Bitcoin-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with a total outflow of more than $1.5 billion since December 19. This further confirms that investors are becoming more cautious about Bitcoin's short-term outlook.
New Thinking About AI Applications
In addition, Mr. Salman Avestimehr, CEO of ChainOpera, emphasized the necessity of decentralization in the development of generative AI applications. He believes that the current centralized model has excluded important stakeholders such as users and developers, thus limiting contributions to personalization and innovation in AI. The adoption of decentralized networks can not only enhance data security but also create financial opportunities for users as they share their data securely.
Conclusion
The year 2025 is opening up with many challenges and opportunities for the cryptocurrency market. The price adjustment of Bitcoin, along with the demand for decentralized AI development, is raising many questions about the market's direction. However, the market remains very promising, and the right steps could lead to strong growth in the near future.
