5. Macroeconomic Factors
- U.S. Policy: Trump's administration's cryptocurrency policies, Federal Reserve monetary policy, and U.S. government debt are seen as the three major influencing factors for Bitcoin in 2025. Strategic Bitcoin reserve plans and pro-cryptocurrency nominations may drive the market, but high interest rates and tariff policies could exacerbate inflation and limit room for rate cuts.
