Bitcoin concluded 2025 with a nearly 5.33% decrease, closing at $88,474 after a 30% correction from its October peak. The cryptocurrency experienced volatility due to macroeconomic uncertainty and liquidations. Despite drawdowns, Bitcoin has historically delivered strong returns, surpassing other assets. Analysts suggest that improved liquidity conditions in 2026 could drive crypto upside, with Ethereum also seeing a decline in 2025. The crypto industry showed progress in DeFi and stablecoins but faced sentiment fragility.
