Welcome to the May 2025 Staxx Club Newsletter!

As the crypto market continues its rollercoaster ride, May 2025 has been a whirlwind of developments, from record-breaking Bitcoin highs to Ethereum’s steady performance and headline-grabbing crypto events. At Goldmann Staxx, we’re here to keep you ahead of the curve with the latest market updates, prices, and news shaping the blockchain world. Let’s dive into the highlights for May!

Market Snapshot: Bitcoin and Ethereum Prices

Bitcoin has been on a tear, reaching a new all-time high above $109,000 in mid-May, with a peak near $111,000 reported on May 23. Currently BTC is trading at approximately $105,000, down slightly from its monthly high but up significantly from its yearly 2025 low price of $79,000. Despite minor volatility, Bitcoin’s resilience reflects growing institutional adoption and optimism around looser U.S. monetary policies following the first FOMC meeting of 2025.

Ethereum has shown relative stability this month, after rallying from a Low of $1800 its currently trading around $2,650. However, ETH has lagged behind Bitcoin this cycle, remaining far from its all-time high, with analysts noting its underwhelming performance compared to four years ago when it traded at similar levels. Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade, has sparked optimism for future growth, along with continued interest from hedge funders creating more traditional finance investment products.

As mentioned in our previous newsletter, May gave us some expansion and a new Bitcoin all time high price. Will ETH and alts coins finally get some traction? Stay tuned!

Crypto News Roundup: May 2025 Highlights

Bitcoin – Vegas Baby!

The Bitcoin 2025 Conference, was held from May 27 to May 29 at the Venetian Convention Center in Las Vegas and marked a significant moment for the cryptocurrency community, drawing over 35,000 attendees from around the globe. This neon-lit, cyberpunk-inspired event transformed the bustling city into a futuristic hub of innovation, where industry leaders, enthusiasts, and policymakers converged to explore Bitcoin’s evolving role in the global financial system. Key highlights included U.S. Vice President JD Vance’s keynote advocating for stablecoin legislation and Bitcoin’s financial future, alongside discussions on Layer 2 solutions, blockchain governance, and sustainable mining practices. Amid a vibrant marketplace atmosphere, attendees engaged in hands-on workshops, networked at exclusive after-parties, and witnessed groundbreaking announcements, such as the push for Bitcoin as a medium of exchange, setting the stage for its continued mainstream adoption.

Trump’s $148M Crypto Dinner Sparks Controversy

U.S. President Donald Trump hosted an exclusive $148 million meme coin dinner at his private golf club, drawing global crypto investors, including Tron founder Justin Sun. The event, closed to media, faced criticism from figures like Senator Elizabeth Warren, who called it an “orgy of corruption.” Critics argue Trump’s family may have profited hundreds of millions from the associated meme coin, raising ethical concerns as crypto regulation debates heat up in Washington.

Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade Deployed May 7

Ethereum’s core developers finalized the Pectra upgrade, launching on the mainnet on May 7, 2025, after successful testing. This upgrade aims to enhance Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency, potentially boosting its competitiveness against rivals like Solana. The crypto community is buzzing with speculation about whether this could spark a price recovery for ETH.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange Supply Hits Historic Lows

Exchange supply for Bitcoin dropped to 7.1%, the lowest since November 2018, while Ethereum’s supply on exchanges fell below 4.9% for the first time ever. This trend suggests strong holder confidence and reduced selling pressure, potentially setting the stage for further price gains.

Coinbase Data Breach Shocks Crypto Community

The crypto industry wasn’t without its setbacks. Coinbase, the largest U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, disclosed a data breach on May 11, 2025, affecting roughly 70,000 customers (less than 1% of its monthly transacting users). According to sources, hackers bribed overseas support agents to steal sensitive data, including names, addresses, government IDs, and account balances, demanding a $20 million ransom. Coinbase refused to pay, instead offering a $20 million reward for information leading to the perpetrators’ arrest. The breach, costing an estimated $180-$400 million in remediation and reimbursements, has raised concerns about real-world risks like targeted robberies, drawing comparisons to the 2020 Ledger hack. Coinbase has stated they are enhancing security and working with law enforcement to address the fallout.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Race

The race to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves has gained momentum in 2025, with governments and corporations recognizing Bitcoin’s potential as a hedge against inflation and a geopolitical asset. At the federal level, President Trump’s March 6 Executive Order established the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, capitalizing on ~200,000 BTC seized from criminal activities, valued at ~$20 billion. The reserve, managed by the Treasury, aims to position the U.S. as a crypto leader without taxpayer costs. Senator Cynthia Lummis’ BITCOIN Act, reintroduced on March 11, proposes acquiring 1 million BTC over five years, though it faces congressional hurdles. Several states have already proposed and adopted legislation to establish their own Strategic Bitcoin Reserves, a trend likely to continue.

What’s Next for Crypto?

May has further cemented crypto’s evolution from a speculative asset to a strategic reserve for states and corporations. Bitcoin’s surge past $100,000, coupled with Ethereum’s technical advancements, signals a maturing market. However, the Coinbase breach highlighted ongoing security challenges and state-level legislative setbacks underscore Bitcoin’s volatility risks. As the U.S. and global players expand Bitcoin reserves, the interplay of policy, innovation, and risk management will shape the market’s trajectory.
