The beginning of 2025 is marked by the transition of the crypto market to a new phase after a difficult 2024. Regulatory risks and massive sell-offs by major participants put pressure on the market. Investors are now focused on the future policies of Donald Trump, who is preparing to take office as US President. His views raise hopes, but also fears.
In the Bitcoin market, the rate of the digital currency cannot overcome the key mark of $100,000, despite the enthusiasm among cryptocurrency supporters. According to analysts, the main changes are observed in the behavior of large and small asset holders. Over the past 2 weeks, the number of transactions in whale wallets with a balance of 10 thousand to 100 thousand BTC has decreased by 14%. This is a noticeable decline compared to the end of 2024.
At the same time, retail investor activity has increased. Owners of wallets with a balance of less than 1 BTC increased the number of transactions by 22%. However, starting from October 2025, such wallets have lost a total of 41.9 thousand coins.
Currently, retail participants are beginning to return to the market. After Christmas, wallets with a balance of less than 1 BTC added only 945 of bitcoins. So far this has been a minor recovery. More interest and a repeat of the late 2024 sales trend are required for the market to continue to grow.
It is noteworthy that Bitcoin is gradually moving away from traditional markets. The correlation coefficient with stocks and indices has decreased significantly. Analysts from Bybit believe that this suggests that cryptocurrency is beginning to emerge as a separate asset class. Its behavior is increasingly influenced by institutional interests and regulatory changes rather than macroeconomic policies.
Although trading volumes remain below average, experts see signs of opportunity for traders. The average returns of market participants are included in the so-called “opportunity zones”.
