🌍 Crypto in crises: from Escape to Speculation Crypto has been showing up everywhere from protests and sanctions to regulations and bets. 🇮🇷 Iran’s striking example Crypto activity crossed $7.8B in 2025, spiking during protests, internet blackouts, and military tensions. For many, Bitcoin is about survival in a collapsing economy: - Rial down ~90% since 2018 - Inflation at 40–50% - Unreliable online services But crypto isn’t only a refuge. Around 50% of Iran’s crypto activity is linked to the regime’s military forces. Same tech, different uses. 🎲 Prediction markets & crises Prediction markets are increasingly featuring geopolitics. Earlier this month, wallets placed suspiciously well-timed bets on Maduro’s capture, earning 6-figure profits. Politics followed fast: - Wallets frozen - “Venezuela leaker” jailed - Lawmakers drafting insider trading bills From Tehran to Washington, crypto is part of the geopolitical landscape. When the world burns, the blockchain lights up.

⏪ Crypto in 2025: less hype, more structure 2025 wasn’t the year crypto completely skyrocketed and went to the moon… or at least not as much as expected. But it was the year it laid down the path for long-term growth! What happened? 🥇 New Bitcoin ATH ($126k) 💼 Big money stepped in even more (institutions, ETFs, governments) ✨ Stablecoins and RWAs were the crypto stars of the year 😎 Bitcoin grew into a major asset in global finance 💻 Ethereum rolled out the Fusaka update ⚖️ MiCA went into action & the USA clarified its crypto regulation 🙅♂️ The altcoin season didn’t really happen 🔮 Prediction markets came back strong 🥸 Crypto got more political than ever before Of course, many more things happened, but in a nutshell, that’s what to remember. It wasn’t the flashiest year with crazy expensive NFTs or a BTC price multiplied by 4, but it may be one of the most important from a long-term perspective. Let’s see what happens in 2026! 👀
