Key Moments in the 2025 Crypto Market Timeline:

In February, a major exchange experienced a $1.4 billion security incident, once again bringing risk management on trading platforms into the spotlight. This incident served as a reminder to everyone — security infrastructure is the lifeblood of this industry.

By April, the market began to move in tandem with macroeconomic trends. As trade tensions escalated, the performance of crypto assets increasingly showed a stronger correlation with traditional finance. What does this shift indicate? Cryptocurrencies are gradually integrating into a broader asset allocation framework.

July marked a turning point in regulation. The implementation of the GENIUS Act created a federal framework for stablecoins, which is no small matter — it signifies that policymakers are starting to take this sector seriously.

Throughout the summer, the buzz around stablecoins continued to rise, moving from the periphery to the center stage. Whether in payment applications or DeFi ecosystems, stablecoins are becoming increasingly central.

In September, the actions of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission continued to shape market expectations, and the industry is closely watching the final regulatory framework.

1.4 billion exploded and still haven't learned about cold wallets, truly impressive Stablecoins are finally going mainstream, I always said this thing is the future sooner or later When tariffs are imposed, the coins shake along with them, what does this mean... we've really integrated ourselves The implementation of regulatory frameworks is a good thing, much better than being treated as a criminal organization The SEC is watching, and I am watching too, whoever moves first loses

14 billion dollars in that wave, honestly, my heart was in my throat This wave of stablecoins has really gone from fringe to main character, and under macro shocks, their value is even more apparent Wait, is the SEC causing trouble again? This pace is really hard to keep up with The implementation of the GENIUS Act is quite surprising; I didn't expect policymakers to really get serious That wave of tariffs linked to crypto shows that we're no longer just a niche hobby

$1.4 billion lost, this is the real horror story Stablecoins are so popular now, but it doesn't seem like a good thing... It shows that crypto really can't break out of the traditional financial framework Once the regulatory framework is implemented, those who are going to run will have already run When the macroeconomy fluctuates, crypto follows suit. Where are the independent assets we talked about?

1.4 billion dollars' wave? It was already monitored in the mempool for anomalies, just waiting for the arbitrage opportunity in the sandwich market... As a result, a security incident stole the spotlight, really frustrating. Is the increasing relevance of tariffs to crypto? Basically, large funds are starting to treat us as ordinary assets, and the arbitrage space for gas fees is actually getting smaller. Stablecoins are moving from the periphery to the center stage... Honestly, I'm a bit excited. The potential for DeFi flash loan combinations has just opened up.

1.4 billion USD gone? This exchange is really outrageous, I'm holding my cold wallet tightly... Finally, someone is regulating stablecoins, but it feels like the regulation makes it less interesting? When macroeconomics fluctuates, crypto also trembles. I thought we were independent, haha. The implementation of the regulatory framework is a good thing, at least institutions dare to enter the market. The SEC is causing a fuss again. When will the rules finally be finalized?

1.4 billion USD lost, but luckily it's not my money haha Are stablecoins really going to turn around? Feels like I've been saying this for a long time As regulations come in, the crypto world starts to align more with traditional finance. Does this count as betraying the ideals? Why hasn't the issue of exchange security been resolved yet? I'm truly amazed Waiting to see how the SEC finally acts. Feels like this is the real test
