In 2025, the geopolitical map sharpens, but along with this, new forms of interaction open up, including on the digital front. The relationship between Putin and Trump goes beyond the usual schemes of political competition. Their public synchronicity and unexpected steps to coordinate economic policy suggest a deeper sympathy than it seems at first glance. This emotional connection takes shape through both countries' desire to include bitcoin in their national reserves — albeit for different reasons, but with a common tone: in response to the decline in trust in the dollar and euro as the pillars of international settlement.
Meanwhile, President Macron and Vladimir Zelensky demonstrate a much more aesthetic and public rapprochement, almost on the brink of political flirting. France is actively supporting Ukraine in developing digital initiatives, including in the blockchain ecosystem. Ukraine, despite its difficult situation, has managed to become one of the crypto centers of Eastern Europe, although by 2025 its significance has noticeably decreased. The volumes of cryptocurrency inflows from Ukraine have diminished and may have already come to a halt. The reasons lie in migration, the pressure of traditional finance, and legislative instability. Nevertheless, Ukrainian digital culture remains prominent and commands respect.
Friedrich Merz, holding the position of Chancellor of Germany, is increasingly inclined towards the philosophy "the future is built from understanding the past." He is advocating a series of initiatives to implement blockchain ledgers in Germany's archival and banking systems, citing the need for an accurate digital footprint that will not be subject to distortion. His love for historical accuracy transitions into institutional trust in decentralization. And although this does not trigger explosive growth of crypto assets in the country, the trust of German banks in transparent digital structures is slowly but inexorably growing.
These movements on the geopolitical stage affect the crypto market not directly, but through deep channels. Bitcoin once again finds itself in the spotlight as a digital anchor in countries' attempts to secure their economies from currency and political upheavals. Volatility increases amid unstable decisions and diplomatic agreements breaking down. Legislative initiatives are multiplying, as is the pressure on centralized exchanges, including Binance and its partners. But all of this is not a rollback, but part of the maturation of the digital sphere.
