WISDOMTREE: BITCOIN IS NO LONGER A NICHE INVESTMENT
WisdomTree’s 2025 Crypto Trends Report highlights that Bitcoin is no longer a niche investment, with institutional adoption growing rapidly. The report also shows that multi-asset portfolios with Bitcoin continue to outperform those without it.
Analysis:
WisdomTree’s report indicates that Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption is accelerating, especially among institutional investors. As Bitcoin is no longer viewed as a niche asset, the rapid adoption by institutional investors is driving the overall growth of the crypto market.
Multi-asset portfolios that include Bitcoin perform better than those without, suggesting that Bitcoin not only serves as an independent investment but also enhances portfolio returns and risk diversification.
For investors, this implies that Bitcoin is likely to continue becoming a core part of mainstream investment strategies, and as regulatory frameworks improve, more institutions may begin exploring cryptocurrency investments.
GOOGLE TRENDS: “HOW TO BUY CRYPTO” SEARCH VOLUME HITS HISTORIC HIGH
According to Google Trends, the search volume for “How to buy crypto” reached an all-time high, peaking at 100. This is the first ATH in four years.
Analysis:
The surge in the search volume for “How to buy crypto” reflects that the crypto market is attracting a large number of new users, particularly retail investors and the general public.
This trend may be related to several factors:
Market sentiment shift: As Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies hit new highs or break through key technical levels, investor interest has surged, and many people are considering entering the market. Price increases often attract new investors looking to learn how to get involved.
Mainstream adoption: The gradual mainstreaming of cryptocurrencies globally may also be driving the search volume increase. The involvement of institutional investors and the launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs have sparked more attention toward crypto. In particular, in the financial and tech sectors, the acceptance of cryptocurrencies is growing.
TRUMP SIGNS FIRST DAY EXECUTIVE ORDERS WITHOUT MENTIONING BITCOIN
On January 20th, President Trump completed his first day of executive orders after taking office but did not mention Bitcoin or the concept of a strategic Bitcoin reserve in his related statements. This surprised some market participants and investors, especially since Trump had previously hinted at promoting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as part of the U.S. strategic reserves.
Analysis:
Trump’s omission of Bitcoin and strategic reserves may impact market sentiment in the short term. Previously, expectations that Trump might push for Bitcoin as a U.S. strategic asset had provided some support for Bitcoin’s price. If this expectation is not fulfilled, it could dampen market optimism and lead to short-term price fluctuations for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Trump’s failure to mention crypto could reflect that he is focusing on other more urgent economic or political issues. The U.S. government’s stance on cryptocurrency regulation is still unclear, and Trump may have chosen to put cryptocurrencies on the backburner while addressing other key matters.
