It was supposed to be the Year of Crypto in 2025 as we entered January with Bitcoin prices at all-time highs and a new digital asset-friendly administration set to take over in Washington.

However, signs that the cryptocurrency decline has stabilized open opportunities for investors to buy crypto-adjacent stocks at flea-market prices.
