February 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Summary

Recently, the cryptocurrency market has shown a volatile pattern, with Bitcoin retracing to the $96,000 range after breaking through $100,000, and Ethereum stabilizing above $6,000, but facing short-term pressure from CME short positions. The market has shown significant differentiation:

1. Resilience of mainstream coins: Bitcoin is supported by institutional funds (such as BlackRock ETF holding over 1.1 million BTC) and expectations of interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, with a long-term bullish outlook of $180,000 to $200,000; Ethereum benefits from the explosion of the Layer 2 ecosystem (such as Arbitrum's TVL surging 30%).

2. Track hotspots: Layer 2 (zkSync, Arbitrum), AI + blockchain (such as VIRTUAL), and RWA (real-world asset tokens) strengthen against the trend, with funds concentrating on fundamental logic.

3. Risks and challenges: Regulatory uncertainty (such as the SEC's crackdown on fraud), Meme coin bubbles (TRUMP plummeting 60%), and macroeconomic fluctuations (U.S. debt crisis, inflation rebound) exacerbate market volatility.

4. Institutional trends: BlackRock and others continue to increase their BTC holdings, total trading volume of stablecoins exceeds $27 trillion, and the scale of tokenized assets (RWA) grows by 60% to $13.5 billion, indicating accelerated institutional entry.

Focus on Layer 2 ecosystems, AI + blockchain, and compliant RWA projects while being cautious of high leverage and emotional trading.$TRUMP
