The Best Performing Bitcoin and Crypto Stocks of 2025
This year opened with a surge of validation for crypto-linked equities. As Bitcoin again broke above $100,000 in January, stocks linked to digital assets—either as treasuries or via direct crypto businesses and mining firms—reaped the rewards. Hut 8 Corp. (HUT) and Riot Platforms Inc. (RIOT) notched double-digit rallies, leading the charge. Bullish momentum followed Bitcoin's recovery from a late 2024 correction, as the digital asset reclaimed its previous all-time high and set a new peak near...

Bitcoin Hits $90,000—But Rally May Not Last Through Holidays
Bitcoin rallied to an eight-day high of $90,353 on Monday, but on-chain data casts doubt on the sustainability of this uptick. Since then, the top crypto has pulled back and is now trading at just under $90,000, up 2.2% on the day, per CoinGecko data. Data indicate the move was driven by speculative futures trading rather than genuine investor demand. Since December 18, open interest and the cumulative volume delta (CVD) for perpetual futures have trended upwards, while the spot CVD has decline...

The Year in Bitcoin 2025: Breaking Records as Governments, Wall Street Take Interest
From Wall Street to Washington, Bitcoin reached new heights in 2025.

Meanwhile, the asset’s community confronted questions over privacy and Bitcoin’s permissionless ethos. When Bitcoin topped $126,000 in October for the first time ever, it had come from much further tha...

Cardano's Hoskinson Warns Crypto Becoming Post-Quantum Will Require Trade-Offs

Why Bitcoin Billionaire Arthur Hayes Expects BTC to Hit $200K by March
BitMex founder and Bitcoin billionaire Arthur Hayes says BTC will soon rise to a price of $200,000 before falling back to create a bottom above $124,000. According to Hayes, the sharp rise in Bitcoin’s price will stem from the Fed’s “Reserve Management Purchases” or RMP, a new operating policy shared by the Fed at its most recent FOMC meeting that he likened to quantitative easing. “RMP is a new acronym that entered my Love Language dictionary on December 10th, the day of the most recent Fed me...
