K33: It is recommended to hold the currency in May and wait and see. Trump's policies may become a catalyst for the summer crypto market

Planet News: Analysis firm K33 Research suggests that the crypto market in summer 2025 might be different from previous years, primarily influenced by several policies driven by former US President Trump. Trump has previously signed executive orders to establish strategic Bitcoin and digital asset reserves, aiming to position the United States as a global cryptocurrency leader. The strategic reserve will mainly consist of Bitcoin seized by the Treasury Department, expected to be held long-term as national reserve assets, not sold. Although the initial market response was muted, with Bitcoin prices remaining between $77,000 and $87,000 for most of April, analysts believe this policy could potentially drive institutional investor participation in the long term, creating a "flywheel effect" to accelerate industry growth. They recommend investors remain cautious and hold their assets in May, waiting for policy effects to gradually emerge. K33 Research Director Vetle Lunde and Senior Analyst David Zimmerman noted in a Tuesday report: "There is almost no fully satisfactory explanation for the return seasonality we've observed, but holiday effects and tax deadline could be key performance factors. Additionally, summer catalysts are typically fewer compared to other times of the year. Trump's actions are currently influencing market trends, affecting risk appetite and distorting future expectations. Cryptocurrency will face multiple favorable factors driven by Trump, while the stock market may again face tariff impacts—which will lay the foundation for Bitcoin's relative strength in the coming months."
