In the past year, the cryptocurrency market has witnessed remarkable progress both socially and financially. A prominent recent story is the launch of the memecoin MIRA on the Pump.Fun platform. Although it started from zero, MIRA quickly surged with a market cap reaching $80 million after a father called for donations for his daughter's rare brain cancer research. Even though the token's value has dropped 80% from its peak, it has raised over $1 million for research, garnering sincere attention from the crypto community.
Siqi Chen, the father and also the founder of the Runway app, helped amplify the influence of this token by sharing on social media, and received special support when a user bought half of the supply and donated it back to him. Despite the skepticism surrounding memecoins, this case highlights their potential to contribute to noble social goals, opening up a conversation about their role and impact in the cryptocurrency space.
Meanwhile, according to research company Blockware Solutions, the price of Bitcoin in 2025 could soar to $400,000, or at least reach $150,000, depending on factors such as Donald Trump's draft Bitcoin strategy and the interest rate policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve. In a negative scenario, the price of Bitcoin could increase by 58% to around $150,000 compared to the current price of $94,981, especially if Trump fails to implement the reserve Bitcoin draft or if the Fed reverses its interest rate cut policy.
According to the basic scenario, Blockware predicts a price level of $225,000 if government policies favor Bitcoin adoption and interest rates decrease as expected. The most optimistic target is $400,000, based on a softer stance from the Fed, increased acceptance from companies, and the government accumulating more Bitcoin. However, some experts believe that this final scenario is unlikely to occur.
Fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market not only provide profits but also open up opportunities for charitable activities, affirming the power and social significance of blockchain technology in the new era.
