2025 Is the Comeback Year for Crypto — and you need to know these!
The year 2025 is shaping up to be a turning point for crypto. With former U.S. President Donald Trump voicing support for the sector, alongside new legislation on Bitcoin reserves and stablecoin regulations, the global crypto landscape is gaining serious momentum. Major companies are also exploring crypto investments, while even U.S.-influenced countries are considering holding Bitcoin reserves.
Closer to our country, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam are already making significant progress with crypto policies and adoption. In contrast, Myanmar still faces regulatory uncertainty — but that doesn't stop individuals from gaining knowledge and preparing for what’s to come.
This article outlines essential things you should know if you're starting to explore crypto in 2025.
1. Know the Difference: CEX vs. DEX
CEX (Centralized Exchanges) like Binance, Bitget, and Bybit are controlled by companies. If there's a legal issue or suspicious transaction, they can freeze your funds — similar to what often happens with mobile banking in Myanmar.
DEX (Decentralized Exchanges) give you full control, but require strong self-security habits. You must manage your crypto wallet securely, never share your seed phrase, and only connect to trusted platforms.
If you're not ready for DEX, it's okay to stick with CEX — but use your own verified identity to avoid issues with KYC and account verification later.
2. Learn About Stablecoins
Stablecoins bridge traditional currencies (MMK, THB, USD) with crypto. They're designed to maintain a 1:1 value with fiat. The most popular are USDT and USDC, often used for trading crypto pairs.
Tip: Don’t use P2P to buy crypto like Bitcoin directly. First, buy USDT, then use Spot Trading to purchase other cryptocurrencies at your desired price.
3. Be Cautious with Futures Trading
While Spot Trading is beginner-friendly, Futures Trading involves high risk. Don’t dive into it unless you've done extensive research and understand leverage, liquidation, and market volatility.
4. Protect Yourself From Scammers
Crypto’s rising popularity attracts fraudsters, especially in countries like Myanmar where understanding is still developing.
Never share your personal data or wallet details.
Don't fall for promises like “invest $100 and earn 20% monthly.”
Watch out for fake profiles or romantic scammers luring you into sketchy crypto platforms.
5. Stay Updated With the News
Buying crypto without following news is dangerous. What happened with LUNA and FTX reminds us that even promising projects can collapse overnight. So...
Follow crypto communities, local and global.
Stay alert to market, legal, and tech developments.
Always analyze before and after investing.
Crypto is volatile and high-risk, but with knowledge and caution, it can be a powerful financial tool. Don’t rush. Learn what matters most, apply best practices, and use crypto in a way that aligns with your lifestyle and risk appetite.
Use it wisely — it’s medicine if used right, and poison if not!
