In 2025, the total cryptocurrency market cap showed a clear “decline—rebound—pullback” pattern. On-chain perpetual contract trading continued to expand, with liquidity and trading experience noticeably improving. Prediction market volumes surpassed $10 billion, and the growth of crypto payments accelerated the adoption of stablecoins in real-world scenarios. The Web3 sector completed nearly 1,000 financings totaling about $34.9 billion. Although the number of Web3 security incidents declined, individual losses increased significantly. Looking ahead to 2026, Bitcoin’s holdings are increasingly concentrated among large institutions and custodians, helping to enhance overall market stability.Key Takeaways:
- Crypto Market Performance: In 2025, the total cryptocurrency market cap showed a clear “decline—rebound—pullback” pattern. After fluctuating at low levels in the first half of the year, it gradually recovered and reached a temporary peak around Q3. Entering Q4, as market risk appetite cooled, the total market cap retraced noticeably and returned to the mid-range for the year.
Major Blockchain Data: On-chain perpetual contract trading continued to expand, with liquidity and trading experience improving significantly. Incentive mechanisms accelerated inflows of both capital and users, gradually building market consensus on the replicability and scalability potential of this sector.
Hot Sector Developments: Prediction markets and crypto payments expanded simultaneously. Prediction market volumes surpassed $10 billion, evolving from event-based trading to a Signal Layer that prices macro, policy, and sports outcomes, driven in part by expectations for the 2026 World Cup. Crypto payments continued to grow under stablecoin settlement and cross-border consumption demand, accelerating stablecoin adoption in real-world payment scenarios.
- Financing and Security: On the capital side, the Web3 sector completed nearly 1,000 financings totaling around $34.9 billion, with funds selectively concentrated in CeFi, blockchain services, and DeFi projects with clear business models and cash flow prospects. Meanwhile, the number of Web3 security incidents declined, but individual losses increased significantly. Contract vulnerabilities combined with permission risks highlighted systemic weaknesses in contract design and risk governance, underscoring the growing importance of auditing and permission management.
