The closing price of Bitcoin in 2025 is expected to be roughly on par with the level at the beginning of the year.
In the first ten months of this year, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a real bullish wave. Regulatory reforms continue to progress, ETFs are continuously attracting funds, and on-chain activities are becoming increasingly active. Bitcoin reached a historical high of $126,080 on October 6.
However, the market did not experience the anticipated breakthrough after the euphoria; instead, it was characterized by rotation, repricing, and rebalancing. The failure of macro expectations, the shift in investment narratives, the liquidation of leverage, and the massive sell-off by whales collectively disrupted the balance of the market. Prices fell, confidence waned, and by December, Bitcoin had dropped to just over $90,000—its path during this time was anything but smooth.
Although 2025 may end with a price drop, the year still attracted genuine institutional adoption.

Fundstrat's Crypto Assets Strategy Director Sean Farrell stated that the current market is close to perfect pricing but still carries risks, with recent capital flows diverging. Bitcoin is in a valuation "no man's land," and while long-term ETF demand may improve, there is short-term pressure from dumping and redemptions. His strategy is more aggressive, focusing on investors with a high proportion of crypto assets, and he expects Bitcoin and Ethereum to challenge all-time highs by the end of the year.

"Financialists": The Empire of Debt Overload
First, let's get to know one side of the power—"Financialists." Who are they? They include the Federal Reserve, JPMorgan Chase, the long-established European banking families, and the complex derivatives markets supporting them behind the scenes. It can be said that since 1913, when a synthetic monetary system was secretly established in a small room, they have controlled the world for over a century.
Their core method of controlling the world is not through direct asset ownership, but through the continuous circulation and accumulation of "claims."
Collateral
Yield
Price signals
Credit systems
Eurodollars, swaps, futures, repos
These tools are layered upon each other, tightly interconnected like a Maenggak, firmly holding the entire financial trajectory and currency flow in their grasp. They are the "behind-the-scenes killers" in the financial world, building a vast financial empire through claims.
