🔥 2025: The Year of Altcoins? What Citi Analysts Are Saying
Citi analysts predict that 2025 will be a turning point for altcoins. New regulatory initiatives may enhance the legitimacy of altcoins and contribute to their price growth. Experts believe that a key driver will be the easing of regulatory pressure on the market. This is especially relevant for tokens that have been under close scrutiny by the SEC.

We will analyze how it is carried out and, if necessary, take additional measures. It must be said that the market for dubious transactions is quite mobile, moving from one form to another; therefore, we analyze the entire financial market in order to promptly block these types of channels,” she said.
