Key Trends in Crypto – April 2025
Significant Changes Support the Cryptocurrency Market in 2025
The market has witnessed a wave of positive news, most notably the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of applications for exchange-traded funds that mimic digital currencies, the return of traditional market makers, as well as the dismissal of pending lawsuits against major projects, and the lifting of restrictions on decentralized finance brokers. Additionally, President Trump appointed a new head for the agency, known for his pro-cryptocurrency stance.
Banking-wise, the Federal Reserve announced the termination of the so-called "Point 2.0" program, ending three years of regulatory tightening on banks and their dealings with the sector. This decision eased the restrictions on banks serving cryptocurrency companies and clearly reduced legal risks, paving the way for the expansion of account, payment, and asset custody services.
Most importantly, the Trump administration has adopted a supportive approach to financial innovation, with Powell emphasizing the importance of establishing a stable regulatory framework for stablecoins, which outlined clear market expectations. These changes are expected to encourage the entry of more traditional financial institutions, thereby enhancing liquidity and solidifying investor confidence in this emerging sector.
