2. **Venture Capital Funding and Macroeconomic Trends**

- Emerging cryptocurrency companies raised **$1.2 billion** after November 2024 (after the U.S. elections), with PitchBook forecasting **$18 billion in venture capital funding for 2025** - nearly double the $10 billion amount for 2024. This growth is partly linked to macroeconomic shifts, including inflation and policy changes.

- Analysts indicate that uncertainty regarding Federal Reserve policy (such as potential delays in interest rate cuts due to tariffs) may impact cryptocurrency liquidity.

3. **Stablecoins and Institutional Interest**

- Stablecoins are gaining momentum as hedging tools against volatility, with their role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem expanding. Projects like **Coldware (COLD)** and **Pi Network (PI)** are attracting institutional interest, partly due to their utility beyond mere speculation.
