Bitcoin 2025Conference——A historic declaration to reshape the future of finance
Under the spotlight of Las Vegas, the 2025 Bitcoin Conference announced the arrival of a new era with almost fanatical energy.
More than 3ten thousandattendees and millions of online viewers around the world focused their attention here, witnessing a political and economic declaration that far exceeded that of an industry event - Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, stood in the center of the main stage and eloquently defined Bitcoin as
A symbol of American freedom”, and announced that the Trump administration will completely reverse Washington’s hostile policy toward cryptocurrencies. At this moment, Bitcoin is no longer just a product of code and computing power, but has become a core asset of the country’s strategic reserves. A grand narrative about financial sovereignty, regulatory relaxation and capital frenzy has unfolded.
The market's reaction was almost fanatical——Spot BitcoinETFsingle-day net inflows soared toUS$380 millionBTCprices remained stable at11... text="">The US dollar is at a high of US$10,000, and the capital tycoons on Wall Street have already sensed the change in the wind.
But the real shock of this conference is far more than just numbers.
Vance's speech directly pointed to the chronic diseases of the US financial system: inflation eats away savings, regulation stifles innovation, and bureaucracy stifles economic vitality.
He bluntly declared that Bitcoin is “ an alarm against Washington’s wrong policies ” , and the Trump administration will promote the GENIUS Act” to establish “ Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ” (SBR), even sees China’s rejection of cryptocurrencies as a new front in geopolitical competition. This is not an empty political show.
From the loosening of the SEC's regulatory framework to the accumulation of 600,000 bitcoins on corporate balance sheets, from the outbreak of decentralized finance (DeFi) to Ross's Ulbricht's symbolic pardon is a signal that confirms one fact: cryptocurrency has evolved from a toy of Silicon Valley geeks to a financial weapon of national strategic level.
When Vance shouted“Cryptocurrency finally has an ally in the White House”, he may not have realized that the real significance of this conference was to make the world see an irreversible trend—the battlefield of Bitcoin has long since shifted from the dark web forums to the congressional hearing room and the balance sheet of the Federal Reserve.
At this moment, Las Vegas is both the end of the carnival and the starting point of the game.
Policy makers, capital giants and technology pioneers collide here, and Bitcoin, the once ridiculed “digital gold”, is rewriting the power map of global finance at an astonishing speed.
Politics and Policy: The Crypto Revolution of the Trump Administration
Under the spotlight of Las Vegas, U.S. Vice PresidentJ.D.Vance's speech was like a thunderclap, completely tearing apart Washington's past hostility towards cryptocurrencies.
His voice echoed in the conference hall: “Bitcoin is not a speculative tool, but an alarm for Americans to fight against policy mistakes. ” This declaration marks that the Trump administration has officially included Bitcoin in the national strategic arsenal - not as a marginal asset, but as a core pillar of financial sovereignty .
Just three months ago, at a closed-door summit in the White House, Trump signed an executive order announcing that the United States would establish “ Strategic Bitcoin Reserve ”
SBR , with the first batch purchasing 20million bitcoins worth 1.7 billion leaf="">billion dollars. This decision was by no means accidental. In his speech, Vance made no secret of his criticism of the previous administration's high-pressure regulation, saying that the Biden-era SEC "stifles innovation with legal battles" while the Trump administration's goal is to "make the United States a global Bitcoin superpower" .
He promised,SECFormer ChairmanGary Genslerstyle" text="">will end completely,《
GENIUSThis strategic intention was quickly implemented at the policy level: Congress has begun to promote the "Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Act", and Senator Cynthia Lummis even revealed that US military generals “ strongly support the inclusion of Bitcoin in national reserves to enhance economic resilience .
But the real turning point may be the pardon of Ross ·Ulbricht - the
founder of Silk Road who was once sentenced to life in prison but has now become an olive branch extended by the Trump administration to the crypto community . In Vance's speech, this symbolic move was given a deeper meaning:“Innovation should not be overly punished.”
When prolonged applause broke out from the audience, everyone realized: the battlefield of cryptocurrency has shifted from the dark web forum to the Oval Office of the White House.
Capital frenzy: Institutional whales usher in a new era of Bitcoin
The big screen in the conference hall flashed dazzling numbers——110,138US dollars——The price of Bitcoin was as stable as a rock during the conference, and the driving force behind it was no longer the enthusiasm of retail investors, but the cold-blooded and precise capital operations of Wall Street giants.
Blackstone GroupCEOLarry·Fink's words at a private dinner were quietly spread:"This is not a bet, this is a reconstruction of the balance sheet."
Just as he said this, spot Bitcoin ETFs’ single-day net inflows soared to $380 million, a record high. Institutional investors no longer tried to explore, but instead frantically staked out their holdings like colonists who discovered a new continent. Michael Thaler of MicroStrategy stood on the stage, his eyes gleaming with missionary enthusiasm.
His company has just completed its 17timebitcoin increase, with total holdings exceeding 60100 million, with a value of more than
660billion dollars. "When central banks of various countries were printing money frantically,"his voice exploded in the conference hall,"Bitcoin was the only asset with a fast enough escape velocity."Sitting in the audience were not early believers of cryptocurrency, but investment executives from JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Fidelity, who no longer laughed but carefully recorded every number.
Analysts at Standard Chartered Bank even gave a year-end target price of
$200,000 at a closed-door meeting. This number, which would have been considered crazy in the past, now only earns thoughtful nods from fund managers. But the real change has taken place at the technical level.
Lightning Network developers have demonstrated the ability to process millions of transactions per second, while the locked amount of WBTC in the DeFi ecosystem has exceeded
300billion dollars. This is no longer a toy system where you spend 10,000 bitcoins to buy a pizza, but a behemoth that is swallowing up traditional finance. When a Morgan Stanley executive privately admitted"our clients' Bitcoin configuration requirements are exploding"the end game of this capital game is clear——Bitcoin is moving from"to
evolved into a global liquidity black hole, and the 2025 annual conference was the manifesto of this silent coup. Subversion and Controversy: When Encryption Ideals Collide with Real Power
The venue suddenly darkened, and the spotlight shone on the unexpected figure in the center of the stage——Ross·Ulbricht, who was sentenced to life imprisonment ten years ago"
The founder of Silk Road, now standing on the stage of the Bitcoin Conference, received a five-minute standing ovation from the audience. The Trump administration's pardon not only released one person, but also sent a signal: the rebellious genes of the crypto world are being appeased by power. They once wanted to bury us in prison, Ulbricht's voice trembled, but now, the White House is copying our homework. Michael · Saylor smiled and applauded in the audience. The former CEO of a listed company has now become the most fanatical missionary of Bitcoin. When he declared in his speech that the market value of Bitcoin will eventually exceed 100 trillion US dollars, there was no more booing in the audience, only crazy flashing of flash lights. But in the corner, several OG Bitcoin developers were arguing in a low voice: " Is this still the decentralized system that Satoshi Nakamoto wanted? Their concerns are not without reason —— When Blackstone Group holds 5%of circulating bitcoins, and when the U.S. Treasury considers including them in its reserve assets, the revolutionary tool used to fight the system is becoming the system itself.
Senator Cynthia · Loomis tried to calm this anxiety.
"Regulation is not the enemy, "She showed a carefully designed legislative roadmap, "What we need to do is to draw a safe zone for innovation. "But an anonymous developer in the audience sneered: " They put shackles on freedom and call it protection. "
This debate is doomed to have no answer, just like Bitcoin itself-It is both the new darling of Wall Street and the holy grail of anarchists; it is both a national strategic asset and a mockery of all centralized power.
When Ulbricht and Saylor raised their glasses together at the after party, this absurd picture perfectly illustrates
the ultimate paradox of Bitcoin in 2025: the most radical rebels are becoming the vested interests of the new system. Global Game: Bitcoin's New Geopolitical Battlefield
The large screen in the conference hall suddenly switched the picture——The Governor of the Central Bank of China reiterated the complete ban on cryptocurrencies at a press conference, and the camera immediately cut back to the sneering face of Vice President Vance. They were scared, and when he uttered these words into the microphone, the whole venue fell into a strange silence, because Bitcoin is a beast that cannot be tamed by the authoritarian monetary system. This sentence was like a sharp knife, cutting through the superficial technical discussion and exposing the undercurrent of geopolitical struggle.
There were low murmurs in the seating area of the European delegation. The German Finance Minister, who had declared in Brussels the day before that the wild growth of cryptocurrencies must be curbed, was now hastily writing down the details of the US
SBRplan in a notebook. Representatives of Middle Eastern sovereign funds frequently entered and exited the
VIProom——Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are secretly building their own Bitcoin reserves, but no one is willing to admit it publicly. This conference has long gone beyond the scope of an industry gathering and has become a sandbox simulation of a financial war between major powers.The most intriguing thing is the absence of Russian representatives.
There are reports that the Kremlin is testing a solution to use Bitcoin to bypass SWIFTsanctions
, and the US Treasury Department has urgently revised the Patriot Act for this purpose. When Vance was asked about this during the question-and-answer session, he paused for three seconds meaningfully: Some wars don't need bullets. This sentence spread like wildfire through global financial markets. The price of Bitcoin jumped in response, but the bigger shock occurred in the traditional foreign exchange market - the US dollar index suffered a rare single-day drop of 0.8%, and analysts began to discuss the monetary cold war caused by cryptocurrency, a concept that seemed like science fiction ten years ago. At the final roundtable forum, a Singaporean banker accidentally let the truth slip: "We are all pretending to discuss technology, but in fact we are redefining the financial landscape. "
There were sporadic applause in the venue, which was quickly drowned out by the silence of more people.
When the regulatory iron curtain in the East and the strategic assimilation in the West are accelerating at the same time, Bitcoin, a technological product born from anarchist ideals, is being forced to play a role it has never imagined - the digital chip in the game between great powers in the 21st century.
And what will be remembered by history at this conference in 2025 may not be a specific policy, but the panic and greed that the global power system cannot conceal when facing the wave of encryption.
Bitcoin's Coming of Age Ceremony——When rebels become rule makers
The lights in Las Vegas are gradually dimming, but the aftershocks of the 2025 Bitcoin Conference have just begun to spread.
This conference announced the coming of age of cryptocurrency in an almost dramatic way—it is no longer the rebellious teenager who needs to hide in the corner of the Internet, but has strode into the White House briefing room, the central bank's treasury and the balance sheets of multinational corporations.
When the Trump administration included Bitcoin in the national strategic reserves, when Wall Street giants rushed to increase their holdings, and when China, Russia, the United States and Europe launched a secret war over cryptocurrencies, this so-called "industry conference"actually became the ceremonial site for the transfer of global financial power.
Bitcoin's price chart is no longer important.
The real story happened in those corners without the spotlight: the heads of sovereign funds talked in secret in hotel suites all night, legislators on Capitol Hill urgently revised the financial bill, and central bank governors of various countries anxiously reassessed the structure of foreign exchange reserves.
Ross · Ulbricht's pardon is like a metaphor ——Crypto-anarchism, once seen as a threat, is now being incorporated and reshaped by the system, and eventually becoming the system itself.
Michael·Saler's"100trillion-dollar market value"prediction no longer sounds crazy, but like some kind of inevitable fate.
But this victory carries a distinct irony.
When Satoshi Nakamoto created Bitcoin in 2008it was these centers of power that embrace it today that he wanted to overthrow.
Today, crypto idealists have to face an awkward question: When a rebellion succeeds, is it still a rebellion?
2025The answer given by the annual conference is cruel and realistic——Revolutions will always die, but the legacy of revolutions will be divided up by the victors.Bitcoin is experiencing the final destination of all disruptive technologies:from a tool to change the world to a part of the world.
The participants who left the conference had different feelings.
Some people are excited about the upcoming carnival of wealth, some are sad about the compromise of their ideals, and more people are lost in contemplation——When cryptocurrency completes the leap from the fringe to the mainstream, can it still maintain the essence that fascinates everyone?
The only certainty is that after this night in Las Vegas, Bitcoin and the whole world will no longer be the same.
There is no turning back for this coming-of-age ceremony, and what awaits us is a new era of finance that even the craziest prophets have not yet clearly described.
