The cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn in 2025, with Bitcoin declining by 6%, Ethereum by 12%, and altcoins plummeting 42%, according to Bull Trade data. This underperformance occurred as traditional assets gained favor, with silver prices soaring 130% and stock markets experiencing significant growth. Despite the current market conditions, Fundstrat's Tom Lee remains optimistic about Bitcoin's long-term potential, projecting it could reach $100,000. However, he cautioned about possible policy shocks in 2026 that might impact the S&P 500, suggesting a cautious outlook for traditional markets.
