Cryptocurrency, like other assets, has followed a four-year cycle in the past. However, the cycles of its recessions and growth are more evident, making them easier to observe.
In the typical four-year cycle, the first three years see a significant rise in digital asset prices, followed by a steep decline in the final year known as a “crypto winter.”
Many experts predict that 2025 will mark the final year of the current four-year cycle, as the effects of the previous year’s Bitcoin halving begin to impact investors.
However, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise, believes that the common disclaimer seen in ads about past performance not guaranteeing future performance may hold some truth. He suggests that the Trump presidency could potentially disrupt the usual four-year cycle.
