📈 CryptoQuant Predicts BTC Could Hit $200K in 2025
New research by CryptoQuant highlights the Bitcoin Yearly Percentage Trend — a powerful metric showing BTC's consistent 4-year cycles: 3 years of growth → 1 year of consolidation. 🧐
🔍 If the cycle holds, 2025 (year 3) could bring +120% growth, pushing BTC from ~$93K to ~$205K.
📊 Trend aligns with past halving-based patterns and is backed by other macro indicators like Realized Cap ATHs.
⚠️ Key risk: geopolitical instability could delay or mute the cycle’s full potential.
💡 If history repeats, 2025 may be the final leg up before the next slowdown.

💰 Trump Family Quietly Reduces Stake in Crypto Venture Amid Soaring Profits 🧐
🇺🇸 Trump’s company has cut its stake in World Liberty Financial — a crypto project tied to the former president — from 60% to 40% in recent days, quietly cashing out amid a $550M token boom.
🪙 Launched during Trump’s 2024 campaign, the venture promised a “financial revolution” while funneling 75% of post-$30M proceeds to Trump and family.
💸 If valued like Circle (whose IPO just tripled in value), World Liberty’s market cap could hit $1.7B, meaning the Trumps may have pulled ~$190M, with Trump personally pocketing ~$135M.
👀 No public statements — possibly to avoid tanking token value. But behind the scenes, the Trump family seems to be cashing in while sentiment is hot.
