2025 Major Crypto Events Review: Trump Dominates Market Trends, Epic Liquidation on October 11, and Historic Breakthroughs in Crypto Compliance

BlockBeats News, December 23, 2025—the cryptocurrency industry experienced unprecedented upheaval and turning points. From the pro-crypto policies at the start of Trump’s administration, the resignation of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler, the signing of the GENIUS Act, and the ongoing fervor for bitcoin ETF, to the 10.11 crash that created the largest single-day liquidation in crypto history, this year’s major events have been as turbulent as a roller coaster.

Trump—undoubtedly the most influential figure on the crypto market trend in 2025. The emergence of the TRUMP token marked the market’s entry into peak FOMO, a series of tariff hikes triggered a sharp crypto market crash, and the signing of an executive order allowing retirement accounts to invest in crypto once again set off a bitcoin rally, reaching new all-time highs.

The regulatory environment shifted from strict enforcement to innovation-friendly, as the United States officially moved toward its vision of becoming the “crypto capital”; exchange lawsuit settlements, institutional capital inflows, and the implementation of a stablecoin framework—these milestones not only reshaped the global crypto landscape but also injected strong confidence into the industry.

BlockBeats’ “2025 Major Crypto Events Review” selected the most influential events of the year, documenting every key moment from meme coin mania to regulatory easing. Looking back at 2025, we see the crypto sector starting off in a full FOMO state. Although the market gradually entered “hard mode,” it is also embracing a more mature and compliant future.
