Leading finance super app GCash recently released important insights into Bitcoin's cyclical journey, the emergence of cutting-edge trends like AI-driven trading and meme coins, and the best strategies for navigating this dynamic landscape as the cryptocurrency market prepares for 2025.
Crypto experts gathered for a fireside chat as part of a recent BitBulaga educational program to discuss their predictions for 2025 and best practices for investors. Along with prominent crypto opinion leaders Gilbert "Titovlogs" Lazaro, Gerome "Kuyang Gerome" Lazaro, and Aldrin "Crypto4chun" Rabino, the panel featured GCash head of GCrypto Luis Buenaventura.
The panelists concurred that traditional institutions, such as banks, governments, and international organizations, are increasingly adopting Bitcoin. The pioneering currencies—referred to as OG by crypto experts—will continue to follow the Bitcoin cycle, even though new players in the market might take the lead in 2025.
The Bitcoin Cycle and Where We Are Today
Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market as a whole fluctuate in four-year cycles, in contrast to conventional financial instruments. The so-called Bitcoin Halving, a once-every-four-year event that decreases the issuance of Bitcoin and increases its scarcity, usually occurs at the end of these cycles. As the asset's supply shrank, the halving was expected to act as a market catalyst, increasing trading activity and attention.
Since April 2024, when the most recent Bitcoin halving took place, the price of Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies has been steadily rising. It is anticipated that prices will rise significantly overall as the industry begins its second year following the halving.
But in the past year, as new players compete for attention, the scene has changed dramatically. Experts point to AI agents and meme coins as the upcoming big trends.
Gilbert Lazaro, aka Titovlogs, said that the biggest players of 2025 will be the alternative currencies. In particular, the panel further dived deep into innovative platforms such as Trump Politifi Tokens, DeFAI, the Hyperliquid Ecosystem, and DeSci (Decentralized Science). Trump Politifi Tokens are politically inspired but give investors a sense of community. DeFAI is a convergence of decentralized finance (DeFi) and artificial intelligence, The Hyperliquid Ecosystem addresses inefficiencies in the crypto market by enhancing liquidity across exchanges and scaling blockchain performance. Decentralized Science (DeSci) is reshaping research through blockchain technology, democratizing funding, enabling open-access data, and incentivizing collaboration via tokenized rewards.
Best practices for navigating cryptocurrency
Buenaventura and Rabino suggested diversifying purchasing patterns over the coming years, both in terms of portfolio diversification and the timing of purchases. Although the cycle is established, it is still unclear when prices will rise and fall. Investors are advised to diversify their portfolios and make purchases at various points during the Parabolic Stage in order to reduce risks.
"If you want to be conservative, what I do is I buy many times throughout the cycle with small incremental profits but less risk." ~Luis Buenaventura, GCash head of GCrypto
GCash gathers top stakeholders for ethical crypto industry
Along with learning about cryptocurrency, GCash, Chainalysis, and BitPinas organized an event called "CryptoPH Compliance Conversations" where leading industry players discussed the significance of crypto compliance in light of the changing regulatory environment brought about by the new US administration.
"An ethical crypto industry harmonizes innovation with responsibility. It ensures transparency, embraces sustainable practices, and prioritizes the well-being of communities. By addressing environmental impact, regulatory compliance, and social equity, we can build a blockchain future that is not only prosperous but also principled and inclusive." ~Arjun Varma, GCash head of Wealth Management
It brought together important figures in the field, such as Atty. Paolo Ong of the Securities and Exchange Commission's PhiliFintech Innovation Office (PIO), in conjunction with Atty. SEC Cybercrime and Forensics Division's Patrick-Duane Patricio. Key figures from universal banks, digital banks, virtual asset service providers, and other fintech companies joined the discussions, along with representatives from the US-based blockchain research firm Chainalysis.
