The two sectors of the crypto world that avoided red numbers in 2025.
This 2025 was an atypical year for Bitcoin investors and the rest of the sectors in the crypto world. For those who liquidated before October 10, the profits were outstanding, especially considering that during those days BTC reached its most recent all-time high of $126,198 per coin. However, for those who did not take profits at that time, there were considerable losses.
This work analyzes the performance of the main areas of tokens during 2025. In general terms, the year can be classified as bearish in the vast majority of sectors. With two exceptions, all categories of digital currencies faced a negative year.$BTC
According to data from Artemis, among the worst performers are the tokens from smart contract platforms, which lost 92% in 2025 (up to December 22). Meanwhile, gaming tokens lost 86.4% and were also counted among the worst performers. RWA sector coins fell by 78.4%, despite significant steps in the tokenization of assets.
Artificial intelligence (AI) tokens also lost more than 74%, while losses in memecoins exceeded 60%. For their part, large coins, Bitcoin and Ethereum, lost 6.2% and 10.4% respectively. As can be noted, this is a strong bearish market for almost all sectors of the crypto world.
The exceptions to these declines were the exchange tokens and privacy tokens, which had a positive year from start to finish$ETH
