Crypto's 2025 Slump: Is It Just a Bump or a Big Problem?

Two contrasting views on the current market slump

Kevin McCordic's Perspective

• 2025 vs. 2022: Not as severe as the 2022 crisis.
• 2022 Recap: Major lenders failed, exchanges collapsed, and tokens lost value rapidly.
• Current Slump: A normal adjustment post-crisis.
• Crypto's Role: Now a significant part of global finance.
• Outlook: Things will stabilize and improve.

Nic Carter's Perspective

• 2025 Feel: Worse than expected.
• Attention Shift: Crypto is no longer the center of attention.
• Market Activity: Prices stagnant, fewer buyers.
• Old Playbook: Four-year cycle and alt season may not apply.
• Future Gains: Depend on creating valuable, usable products.

Strategic Implications

• Cyclical Slump: Patience and waiting for a rebound.
• Lost Attention: Focus on product development and revenue generation.
