The cryptocurrency world of 2025 has come to a close amid extreme volatility and historic breakthroughs. This year, a series of pro-cryptocurrency policies by former US President Trump injected unprecedented political momentum into the industry, from pardoning Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht to promoting the establishment of a US strategic Bitcoin reserve.

Author: Zhao Ying, Wall Street Insights Long-term Bitcoin holders are continuing to sell off, while market absorption capacity is rapidly shrinking. This supply and demand imbalance has caused the cryptocurrency market to experience a slow and persistent decline. Since surpassing the historical high of $126,000 in January this year, Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30%, currently hovering around $85,000, making it difficult to find effective support. According to Bloomberg on Thursday, blockchain data shows that "OG Bitcoin holders" (early long-term holders of Bitcoin) who have held their coins for years are cashing out at the fastest rate in recent years. K33 Research reports that since the beginning of 2023, the number of Bitcoin that has not moved for at least two years has decreased by 1.6 million coins, worth approximately $140 billion. In 2025 alone, nearly $300 billion worth of Bitcoin that has been dormant for over a year will re-enter circulation. Blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant's data shows

Gate Research Institute Daily Report: December 15 — The overall crypto market continues to face pressure, with BTC and ETH maintaining low-level consolidation, while GT shows relative resilience. Under the weak performance of mainstream coins, tokens such as FHE, ICE, and BAS have reversed trends and strengthened amid catalysts like privacy computing collaborations with Chainlink, token migrations and mainnet transitions, as well as ERC-8004 protocol upgrades, reflecting a concentrated battle for structural opportunities among funds. The structural selling pressure in the options market still suppresses BTC upside momentum. The divergence between ETF bullish demand and OG holders selling volatility suggests that BTC is more likely to remain in short-term consolidation rather than make rapid breakthroughs; Ant International is reconstructing corporate treasury management systems through blockchain, AI, and tokenized deposits; after the mainnet launch of Stable, on-chain activity has been below expectations, highlighting ongoing challenges for the differentiated implementation of stablecoin public chains.

In the ever-changing world of crypto, some chase the latest trends, some shout slogans, while others choose to be believers in time. Lao Mao is exactly such a legendary figure. As one of the earliest evangelists in the industry, he has weathered four cycles of bull and bear markets, from being an early core member of exchanges, to a sharp venture capitalist, and now once again deeply involved as a product founder. His experiences are, in themselves, a condensed history of the industry's development. In this episode of "Friends of OKX," we had the privilege of a one-and-a-half-hour in-depth conversation with this "veteran OG." With his usual clarity and candor, he shared profound insights on market cycles, asset value, life philosophy, and even personal health, holding nothing back.
