๐ 4๏ธโฃ Can Crypto Cross ๐ฒ4.6 Trillion by Dec 2025?
Factor Signal Impact
Liquidity re-entry โ Likely More buyers after leverage flush
Fed stance (cuts paused but not reversed) โ๏ธ Neutral-positive Supports risk assets
Tariff risk โ ๏ธ Short-term drag May delay rally
ETF inflows continuing โ Strong Adds capital base
Altcoin rotation restart ๐ Probable Q4 Expands market breadth
๐ Projection ranges:
๐ง Bearish case: ~$3.2 T (end 2025) if tariff shock extends + Fed pauses too long.
โ๏ธ Base case: $4.3โ$4.6 T โ gradual recovery + ETFs steady.
๐ฅ Bullish case: $4.8โ$5.0 T โ second wave of inflows + Fed signals more cuts.
โ Probability estimate (as of now):

~10 % chance to remain below $4 T if tariff tensions flare again.
