Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas has dubbed Summer 2025 the “altcoin ETF summer.”
That’s because of the slew of ETF applications now sitting with the SEC.
Weiss’ Juan Villaverde calls it “stablecoin summer,” thanks to the boom in stablecoin adoption across the TradFi ecosystem.
Both are true.
But neither captures the full picture.
See, both of these summer trends can be linked back to one underlying source …
The Regulatory Revolution.
And it’s set to last longer than the summer days.

According to lawyers in countries like Turkey and Russia, where crypto payments are banned, there a way for citizens to still connect to crypto.
Because those bans can only be enforced within those countries. But travel on any international holiday, and citizens could find themselves with a clever workaround.
With new, clearer regulation comes new opportunities.
And according to Juan Villaverde, now is the time to act.
That’s because …

Not just due to their position in the cycles …
But because of how well they line up with geopolitical and macroeconomic forces.
And it gives clarity on what to expect over the coming weeks.
