Crypto Market Continues Rally with Gains in May 2025
In May 2025, the crypto market kept going up, increasing by about 10%.
Bitcoin hit its highest price ever, and Ethereum did well because of an upgrade.
Other cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin and Solana also went up.
The part of crypto that deals with lending and borrowing, called DeFi, grew a lot too.
Even though lots of money went into Bitcoin through ETFs, some money came out at the end of the month.
This shows the crypto market is still changing and reacting to different things.
The global cryptocurrency market saw a 10.3% gain in May 2025.
Bitcoin rose 11.1% and reached a record high of USD 111,970.
Ethereum gained 43.9% due to its Pectra upgrade.
DeFi sector TVL increased 21.4%, outperforming Bitcoin.
US-listed Bitcoin spot ETFs saw USD 5.25 billion in net inflows but faced outflows in the final days.
