Coinbase sees signs of a new 'crypto winter' and adopts a defensive stance for Bitcoin, David Duong from Coinbase adopts a more pessimistic view for the crypto market and highlights the risk of a prolonged downturn cycle. Coinbase has adopted a defensive outlook for the cryptocurrency market in the second quarter of 2025. In a report published this week, David Duong, global head of research at the brokerage, stated that the market may be entering a new bearish cycle, driven by a combination of technical and macroeconomic factors.
According to the report, both Bitcoin (BTC) and the COIN50 index – which includes the 50 largest tokens by market value – broke their 200-day moving averages downward, a classic signal of trend reversal. In the case of altcoins, the decline is even more pronounced: the total market value, excluding Bitcoin, has fallen 41% since the peak in December 2024, from $581,853,962,731.6 trillion to $58,185,396,273.950 billion.
Duong also points to a contraction in venture capital funding, which, despite a slight recovery in the first quarter, is still 50% to 60% below the levels of 2021 and 2022. 'These structural pressures arise from the uncertainty of the macroeconomic environment, marked by fiscal tightening and global tariff policies,' says the report.

$OM I have never felt so robbed and deceived in my entire life; I have so much hatred in my heart at this moment that I can't even think straight.
What a life-destroying market!
How can a solid, safe, and reliable coin plummet 90% and evaporate 5 billion in just 1 minute? These idiots still come and say it wasn't the team that sold. Only a fool would believe that this wasn't a rug pull. Mantra, the best coin of this cycle so far, was nothing but a scam.
May those responsible be punished and imprisoned, may they rot in jail forever!
Disgusted with this market, after what happened with #OM I am sure we can no longer hold or keep any Altcoin. It's a shame for those who still believe in cryptocurrencies. Damn the moment I invested my money here; I have never been able to sleep properly again.
Tired, friends, I'm really exhausted. What this crypto world has done to my mind is surreal.

Crypto lawyer claims that the US government knows the identity of the creator of Bitcoin Lawsuit alleges that a federal agent stated at a public event in 2019 that the FBI has already interviewed Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin. A lawyer specializing in cryptocurrencies believes that the United States government has the answer to one of the biggest mysteries of the technology: the identity of the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto.
On Monday (7), James Murphy filed a lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) against the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claiming that the agency knows who Nakamoto is. Murphy, who calls himself "MetaLawMan," explained the reason for the lawsuit.
"My FOIA lawsuit seeks documents regarding claims made by a high-ranking special agent of the DHS that the DHS found and interviewed the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto," wrote Murphy. Over the years, those suspected of being Satoshi Nakamoto have included names like Hal Finney, Gavin Andresen, Nick Szabo, Adam Back, Len Sassaman, Craig Wright, Dorian Nakamoto, Elon Musk, and more recently, Peter Todd. All have denied being Nakamoto or had their claims contested.
The lawsuit alleges that a federal agent identified in the lawsuit as Special Agent Rana Saoud stated at the 2019 Offshore Alert Conference on Intelligence and Financial Investigations that the DHS interviewed Nakamoto in California (source: Bitcoin Portal)
