Crypto’s Coming of Age: Why June and July Mark a Turning Point

Crypto’s Coming of Age: Why June and July Mark a Turning Point

Source: Finance Middle East

The past two months have been pivotal for the cryptocurrency market, not just in terms of price movements, but in the wider structural shifts that are beginning to define a more mature and policy-aligned asset class. As we move through the second half of 2025, it is increasingly clear that crypto is no longer operating on the fringes. Instead, it is becoming a strategically important part of financial markets, with regulators, institutions and investors all playing more sophisticated and serious roles.

Ethereum has been the standout performer across June and July. Over the course of the last month alone, it surged by more than 50 percent, climbing from just under $2,500 at the beginning of July to highs approaching $3,900. This marks its strongest monthly rally in three years. Technical indicators have pointed to a breakout formation that suggests further upside is possible in the coming months, with some models outlining potential targets of over $4,000 in the short term, and more speculative projections reaching as high as $16,000 by the end of 2026. While such figures should be treated with caution, they speak to the underlying momentum currently driving the second-largest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has followed a steadier course, consolidating within the $105,000 to $110,000 range for most of July. It remains firmly above key support levels and is widely expected to retest the $120,000 mark if current market confidence continues. While short-term volatility is always part of the story, the long-term narrative is increasingly being shaped by institutional inflows, enhanced infrastructure, and the significant progress being made on regulatory frameworks in key jurisdictions.

In the United States, the passage of the GENIUS Act in July was a landmark moment. By requiring that stablecoins be fully backed by reserve assets and creating a formalised dual regulatory approach between federal and state authorities, the legislation brings long-awaited clarity to a segment of the market that had operated in an uncertain space for too long. It was complemented by the Clarity Act, which helps to define the roles of the CFTC and SEC in regulating different types of digital assets. This dual-track framework is a step towards integrating crypto within the broader financial system without stifling innovation.

Further momentum came at the end of the month when the SEC announced a strategic pivot under the banner of Project Crypto. The initiative outlines a more inclusive regime for digital assets, including the potential for tokenised securities and clearer treatment of decentralised finance structures. Perhaps more important than the details themselves is the signal it sends: that the US intends to lead, rather than simply regulate, the future of digital finance.

In the UK, the regulatory stance has evolved more cautiously, but nonetheless significantly. In June, the Financial Conduct Authority opened consultation on lifting its previous ban on retail access to crypto exchange-traded notes. By the end of July, this was formalised with new guidance that permits certain crypto-linked instruments to be made available to retail clients under strict safeguards. The Treasury has also pushed forward with draft legislation to bring cryptoassets under the scope of the Financial Services and Markets Act, reinforcing the government’s aim to make the UK a competitive yet safe jurisdiction for digital asset activity. In parallel, agencies have placed a renewed emphasis on crypto’s role in financial crime and sanctions enforcement, particularly in response to international threats.

Globally, other jurisdictions are also making bold moves. Thailand, for example, has introduced a capital gains tax exemption for crypto transactions on licensed platforms through to 2029, reflecting the broader trend of states competing for digital asset leadership by offering regulatory clarity and economic incentives.

What we are witnessing is not just a bull run or a passing phase. It is the convergence of market appetite, maturing technology, and regulatory legitimacy. The crypto market is evolving from a speculative playground into a more structured and policy-aware financial ecosystem. Institutional investors are no longer sitting on the sidelines. Asset managers, family offices and even pension funds are increasingly seeking out regulated partners who can offer both access and security. It is in this environment that INFINOX continues to build. Our infrastructure, reporting tools and educational platforms are designed precisely for this moment – a moment where trust, compliance and market expertise are paramount.

If the current trends continue, Ethereum could test $4,000 within weeks, and Bitcoin may well break through to new highs before the end of the year. But beyond the price action, the foundations are being laid for a very different kind of crypto future. One shaped not only by traders and miners, but by policymakers, institutions and forward-thinking firms who understand that the next phase of growth will be driven by credibility and confidence.

For those of us working at the intersection of traditional finance and digital innovation, the events of June and July offer more than market movement. They offer reassurance that the regulatory tide is finally turning in a constructive direction, and that crypto is on the cusp of becoming a lasting, respected pillar of global finance.
