$BTC #CryptoCPIWatch

Crypto markets remain dynamic in May 2025, with Bitcoin trading near its all-time high around $105,000, just 3% below its peak, buoyed by easing tariffs and expectations of U.S. interest rate cuts. Ethereum has rebounded sharply, gaining 40% last week and pulling the broader altcoin market higher. The total crypto market capitalization rose 10.8% in April, driven by improved regulatory sentiment and strong inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs. DeFi platforms benefited from regulatory clarity, with total value locked increasing 3.3% and stablecoins like USDC expanding market share. However, NFT trading volumes declined, signaling shifting investor focus. As macroeconomic uncertainty persists, Bitcoin’s resilience and growing institutional adoption reinforce its status as a hedge and a key asset to watch in the evolving crypto landscape
