About this listen
Hey there, crypto friends! Crypto Willy here with your weekly roundup of all things Bitcoin and cryptocurrency for the last week leading up to May 27, 2025.
Bitcoin has been on an absolute tear lately, smashing through the $100,000 barrier that seemed impossible just a couple years ago. As of today, Bitcoin is trading at around $108,882 according to Binance Market Data, which is just a hair below its all-time high of $109,114.
Last week, we saw Bitcoin top $107,000, and analysts like Paul Howard from Wincent are suggesting we might need to flip the old Wall Street saying on its head. Instead of "Sell in May and go away," Howard believes this summer is more likely to be "Buy in May and go away" for Bitcoin. He's predicting new all-time highs in the near future as we approach a $4 trillion market cap for digital assets.
What's driving this bull run? A perfect storm of factors. U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs saw massive inflows of $667 million just last Monday, with May alone bringing in $3.3 billion according to SoSoValue. Institutional investors are piling in, following Michael Saylor's Strategy playbook by incorporating Bitcoin into their reserves through debt and equity financing.
Looking at on-chain metrics, the realized price for 2025 Bitcoin investors stands at around $93,266, meaning most holders are sitting on approximately 14% unrealized gains at current prices. This metric gives us a deeper view of market health beyond the headline-grabbing all-time highs.
But it's not all sunshine and rainbows in the markets. Today's question is "How low can stocks and crypto go?" as some investors are getting nervous about a potential correction. It's worth remembering that over 90% of investors who try to time the market end up poorer than if they'd just hodled their original investments.
Long-term holders appear to be the ones shaping the 2025 rally. On-chain metrics like SOPR (Spent Output Profit Ratio) and holder supply suggest we're seeing sustainable growth as Bitcoin holds above the psychological $100K mark with strong market fundamentals.
If you've been following our show for a while, you'll know that dips below realized price have historically marked market bottoms—we saw this in January 2024 after ETF approvals and again during the yen carry trade unwind in August 2024. Each time, Bitcoin bounced back stronger.
Remember, the total crypto market cap is now around $3.3 trillion, putting us firmly in institutional asset class territory. Whether you're a day trader or a long-term hodler, these are exciting times for our industry.
That's all for this week's roundup! This is Crypto Willy, your blockchain buddy, signing off until next time. Stay decentralized, my friends!
