The original OG Coin recently debuted its own ETF, marking a significant moment in the cryptocurrency world. This paves the way for further expansion of cryptocurrency investments into mainstream finance. Furthermore, Stablecoin legislation was adopted in the US under the GENIUS Act of 2025, which may contribute to the rise of more reserve-backed cryptocurrencies. This is also bolstered by US banks lobbying against stablecoin interest due to fears of deposit flight.
The Bitcoin value continued to rise, reaching $90K as Trump defended tariffs ahead of a Supreme Court ruling. This trend coincided with increased levels of air pollution attributed to Bitcoin mining. Trump, alongside his sons, reportedly holds a $5bn stake in a cryptocurrency firm which may potentially create a conflict of interest. The former president has also spearheaded plans for a 'crypto strategic reserve' while naming five cryptocurrencies for national reserve, sending prices soaring.
The SEC Staff provided insight into Meme Coin Regulation. Meanwhile, Wyoming announced Frontier, a stablecoin endorsed by the government. Mainstream adaption of cryptocurrencies was also observed in 2025. Coinbase, a popular cryptocurrency platform, reported significant revenue and usage statistics in 2025. Trump's meme coin, however, led to significant trading fee profits while smaller traders reportedly lost money.
In a move away from physical currency, the US Treasury has phased out the penny, following Trump's assertion that the coin no longer makes 'cents'. The implication of this decision on businesses and customers remains speculative.
