Crypto bull run expected in Q3 2025

Despite recent market downturns, industry experts believe that the crypto bull run has not yet begun.  

In a panel discussion,, Messari CEO Eric Turner suggested that the real bull market could start in the third or fourth quarter of 2025.

Turner noted that previous market movements were more about short-term trends rather than a full-fledged bull run.

MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe drew parallels with past crises, such as the COVID-19 crash in 2020, where Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) rebounded significantly after a sharp decline.

He believes that the current market conditions could similarly precede a major reversal.

The ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, partly fueled by U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff announcements, has hindered the onset of a bull market.

Despite favorable regulatory developments in the U.S., these macroeconomic concerns have dampened investor sentiment.

However, experts remain optimistic about future policy changes and their potential to drive growth.

The appointment of pro-crypto leaders and the potential passage of landmark bills could create a more favorable environment for crypto in the latter half of 2025.

As the crypto market navigates these challenges, investors are advised to focus on long-term trends and fundamentals rather than short-term price fluctuations.

The anticipation of a significant bull run later in the year underscores the potential for substantial growth in the crypto sector, contingent on improved market conditions and supportive regulatory frameworks.

While some analysts predict Bitcoin could reach between $85,500 and $165,000 in 2025, driven by institutional adoption and broader acceptance, others see the bull run as a broader market phenomenon that will include altcoins and new technologies like AI in blockchain.
