2025 Crypto Bear Market = Repricing Year for Institutional Capital

🔹 DeFi & Smart Contract Tokens Down 66–67%
2025 was a rough year for altcoins. DeFi tokens fell 67%, and smart contract chains averaged –66%, signaling a broad market repricing. Analysts say this reflects institutional-grade capital seeking high-quality networks rather than speculative altcoins.

🔹 Institutional Interest Grows Despite Bear Market
Leading financial institutions like Morgan Stanley continue launching crypto ETFs for Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana, showing Wall Street’s ongoing commitment. On-chain and off-chain data suggest big players are accumulating quietly.

🔹 Top Blockchain Metrics
Solana: $585M fees (highest)
Tron: $576M fees
Ethereum & Bitcoin: continued rotation as investors diversify

🔹 Analyst Insights
Jamie Coutts: 2025 was a repricing of high-quality L1s just as multi-year institutional onboarding begins.
Nicolai Sondergaard: “With liquidity returning, accumulation by big players is underway.”
Lacie Zhang: “2026 could mark a turning point from repricing to sustained accumulation amid regulatory clarity.”

🔹 Looking Ahead – 2026 Predictions
Fundstrat: Ether could bottom near $1,800 Q1, then rally toward year-end.
Trend Research: Bullish on crypto for H1 2026.
Institutional Thresholds Met: Deleveraging and clearer regulation make crypto more accessible for long-term capital.

📈 Takeaway: 2025 wasn’t just a bear market—it was a market reset, setting the stage for institutional adoption and long-term growth in 2026.
