Overview
Bitwise is framing the market drawdown that began in early 2025 as a “crypto winter” whose severity has been partly obscured by institutional flows. Across multiple reports, the firm argues that historical patterns suggest the worst of the downturn may already have passed, positioning the current phase as nearer the end than the beginning.
