#CryptoComeback

#CryptoComeback captures the cryptocurrency market’s resurgence in May 2025, with Bitcoin ($BTC) reclaiming $100,000 on May 8 for the first time since February, peaking at $101,679.85, up 6% (Coin Metrics). The rally, sparked by a U.S.-UK trade deal and optimism for easing U.S.-China tariffs, lifted the total crypto market cap 2.5% to $3.09 trillion. Altcoins like XRP, Solana, and meme coins PEPE, FLOKI, and BONK surged, with XRP flipping Ethereum’s market cap ($208B vs. $192B). ETF inflows ($5.5B in three weeks, CoinShares), New Hampshire’s BTC reserve approval, and a pro-crypto Trump administration fueled momentum. However, Senate Democrats blocked a stablecoin bill over Trump’s $TRUMP meme coin profits, and Bybit’s $1.4B hack raised security concerns. Despite volatility, with BTC’s Fear & Greed Index at 52, analysts like Standard Chartered ($200,000 by year-end) see a sustained bull run.
