Bitcoin is on track to close 2025 with significant losses, defying favorable macroeconomic tailwinds from Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and better-than-expected inflation data. The past week encapsulated this struggle, with BTC dropping nearly 5% amid volatile swings, while major altcoins like Ethereum and Solana suffered steeper declines. This performance has ignited a fierce debate among analysts: has the world’s leading cryptocurrency entered a structural bear market, or is it transitioning into an entirely new, longer-term cycle?

In a dramatic escalation of the legal fallout from one of cryptocurrency’s most catastrophic failures, the bankruptcy administrators for Terraform Labs have filed a $4 billion lawsuit against trading giant Jump Trading. The complaint, filed in U.S. federal court, alleges Jump Trading engaged in illicit market manipulation and self-dealing that both exploited and contributed to the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, which erased over $40 billion in value and triggered a wider industry crisis. This lawsuit arrives just weeks after Terraform’s former CEO, Do Kwon, was sentenced to 15 years in prison, marking a new chapter in the pursuit of accountability for the 2022 disaster.
