Bitcoin at 100k was just the warm-up. Here’s why the 2025-2026 cycle is different

We’ve all seen the bull/bear cycles repeat since 2013. Pump, euphoria, crash, silence. But this time 3 things have changed and nobody’s talking about it enough:

1. Spot ETFs changed the rules

Before, institutional money had to go through trashy bank products with 2% fees. Now BlackRock, Fidelity and others buy BTC and ETH directly on the market. Result: liquid supply is shrinking every day. Check the ETF flows: 6 months of mining sold in 2 weeks.

2. The halving + ETF = an unprecedented supply shock

The halving cut new coins in half in April 2024. At the same time, ETF demand exploded. Simple math: fewer natural sellers + more buyers = squeeze. We saw it on BTC, now ETH is following with its spot ETF approved.

3. L2s and RWAs are bringing real utility

2021 was JPEGs. 2025 is real yield: tokenization of US Treasuries, Ethereum L2s doing 100k TPS for $0.01, and apps that finally have users who actually pay. Crypto is leaving the casino and entering real finance.

What this means for you:

This bull run won’t be “everything goes up 500%”. It’ll reward projects with cashflow, adoption, and technical moats. The noise will die, the value will stay.

I’m not a fortune teller. But ignoring these 3 shifts is like ignoring the internet in 1998.#bitcoin #CryptoNews🔒📰🚫 #BinanceSquareTalks #BullRun2026📈 #bullrun2025📈📈
