The cryptocurrency world had a wild start to 2025! Prices went up and down like a rollercoaster. The total value of all cryptocurrencies reached a whopping $3.76 trillion, but then dropped a bit. This was partly because of some new technology and changes in the stock market.
- The US government is talking about new rules for cryptocurrencies.
- Some cryptos, like XRP and Solana, did really well.
- Others, like Ethereum, didn't do as well.
- Solana is becoming a big player in DeFi (like a digital bank without a building!).
| Crypto | Change |
|---|---|
| XRP | +47.8% |
| Solana | +24.7% |
| Bitcoin | +11.7% |
| Ethereum | -8.2% |
Solana had amazing trading, even more than Ethereum! Some people think new rules and more investments in crypto might make prices go up further.
