The volatile global cryptocurrency market saw key changes between October 20 and 25, 2025, indicating a shift in participant sentiment and increased regulatory risks.
Bitcoin (BTC) surpassed the ~$111,000 mark, signaling a recovery after a recent decline.
Ethereum (ETH) broke through the ~$4,000 level, which was also perceived as positive by the market.
However, the growth was accompanied by caution: the Crypto Fear & Greed Index stood at 30 (“fear”).
Funds withdrawn from Bitcoin-tracking funds amounted to approximately $1.23 billion in a week — one of the largest outflows since their launch.
Amid weak liquidity and regulatory uncertainty, the overall cryptocurrency market came under pressure again, despite attempts at recovery.
Expectations are growing around a possible change in US Federal Reserve policy — investors are counting on easing, which is creating short bursts of demand.
New initiatives to regulate the crypto market have emerged from international bodies: the Financial Stability Board (FSB) has warned of “significant gaps” in the global legal framework.
Technical factor: increased volatility and large outflows from ETF funds are exacerbating cycles of correction and recovery.
Cryptocurrency is a digital asset based on blockchain technology that is used as a means of saving, payment, or speculation. The crypto asset market is characterized by high volatility, insufficient regulation, and significant influence from external factors: central bank decisions, new regulations, and technological breakthroughs.
