What to Expect in Crypto – May 2025 Edition

1. Post-Halving Supply Pressure Builds

With Bitcoin’s halving now behind us, May marks the first full month of reduced miner rewards. Analysts expect upward price pressure as supply tightens and institutional demand continues to grow.

2. Ethereum Spot ETF Decision Incoming

The SEC is set to issue a decision on multiple spot Ethereum ETF applications later this month. If approved, it could trigger a major rally in ETH and other Layer-1s.

3. Telegram Expands TON Integration

Telegram is reportedly launching a beta version of its native payment system on the TON blockchain, reaching over 800 million users. Expect increased adoption and token movement.

4. Airdrop Season Heats Up

Both zkSync and LayerZero are expected to launch or finalize their token airdrops in May. These events typically drive user activity and short-term DeFi surges across multiple chains.

5. Meme Coin Madness May Return

With tokens like $DOGE, $PEPE, $TRUMP, and $BOOK gaining traction again on Twitter and TikTok, many believe another memecoin frenzy could ignite by late May — especially if altcoins remain sluggish.
