On March 25, 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant surge, with Bitcoin hovering around $87,000 and Ethereum rising approximately 3% to $2,063.37. This rally was bolstered by positive sentiment among investors following reports that the White House may adopt a more tempered stance on tariffs, easing fears of potential economic disruptions.
The total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies surged to $2.85 trillion, reflecting a 2.05% increase within the past 24 hours. Market activity also saw a remarkable uptick, with total trading volume reaching $87.37 billion, marking a staggering 60.12% rise from the previous day.
Bitcoin, specifically, traded at $86,866.24—a 1% increase over the last 24 hours. Its trading fluctuations were noted to range between $85,890.56 and $88,758.73, and its market share slightly dipped by 0.31%, landing at 60.54%. Earlier, on March 24, Bitcoin broke above $88,000, laying the groundwork for renewed optimism in the overall crypto space.
Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, made a stirring prediction, claiming that Bitcoin could reach as high as $110,000 before possibly retreating to around $76,500. He pointed to the Federal Reserve's accommodating position on inflation and President Trump's flexible approach to tariffs as potential catalysts for this bullish outlook.
Ethereum, often seen as a barometer for altcoin performance, also displayed resilience. With a growth of 3.5%, it posted a price of $2,063.37, bouncing off an intraday low of $1,990.96 and a high of $2,101.98. Its trading volume skyrocketed by over 72%, reaching $14.5 billion, emphasizing a robust market interest.

This drop occurred amid reports from CoinShares which highlighted net inflows into the crypto market for the week ending March 21, marking the first instance of inflows in six weeks. XRP garnered $6.7 million in inflows, coming in second place for the week.
Polymarket, a betting platform focused on cryptocurrencies, noted an interesting trend concerning XRP: the probability of approval for a spot ETF in the U.S by December 2025 has surged to 86%, up from 57% observed in January. This news likely fueled speculation and trading activity around XRP.
