I’m honestly stunned—people are already fantasizing that the crypto market will benefit if the Democrats take power…
To start with, even if the Democrats gain an advantage in Congress, that would mostly serve as a check on Trump, not give them the power to decide every policy on their own.
The altcoin market’s weakness in 2025 may be something we should reflect on: the supply-side problems that took root during the Biden years.
Everyone saw the loose monetary policies during the Biden years and remembers the frenzied bull market of 2021, but they’ve overlooked the lingering effects of all the projects that raised huge amounts of funding back then.
Data shows that from 2013 to 2020, there were around 1,026 funding deals in the crypto industry. In 2021 and 2022 alone, that number jumped to 2,971. Many projects secured funding and then gradually entered their token-launch and unlock cycles.
Here’s the question: with so many VC-backed projects entering the market at once and new tokens constantly being released, how much capital is actually available to absorb them?
In crypto, funding often means more tokens entering the market. In the AI industry, funding is more often invested in technology, products, and infrastructure. The two industries’ capital flows and paths to realizing value are fundamentally different.
Of course, Trump has his share of problems too. Family token launches and controversies surrounding related transactions deserve scrutiny and criticism from the market. But the crypto market’s poor performance in 2025 can’t simply be blamed on one person.
As for the Democrats, don’t indulge in unrealistic fantasies. A change of party doesn’t mean a bull market will automatically follow. Policy affects the industry, but market performance is also shaped by capital, supply and demand, valuations, and market cycles.
It’s perfectly normal for an industry to go from its early stages to explosive growth and then to slower growth.
Don’t pin your hopes on any particular party or politician. Take a rational view of the cycle, invest responsibly, let go of wishful thinking, and keep your greed in check.
The market won’t rise just because we hope it will. All we can do is face reality, manage risk, and wait for the opportunities that are truly ours.
