Is Crypto winter is coming?
What is #cryptowinter
Crypto winter is a term people use to describe a long period when cryptocurrency prices stay very low and the whole market feels "frozen" — meaning little excitement, low trading activity, and falling or stagnant prices.
It’s similar to a bear market in stocks but specific to crypto. During a crypto winter:
Big coins like $BTC and $ETH lose a lot of value.
Altcoins usually crash even harder.
There's less news about crypto, fewer new projects, and less money flowing into the space.
Investor confidence is really low.
A famous example: after $BTC hit nearly $20,000 in late 2017, the market crashed, and most of 2018–2020 was considered a crypto winter.
As of late April 2025, the cryptocurrency market exhibits a mixed landscape, with Bitcoin demonstrating resilience while altcoins face significant challenges.
