Will there be a bull run in 2025?

Will there be a bull run in 2025?

The potential for a 2025 crypto bull run is supported by accelerating institutional adoption via Bitcoin ETFs, favourable macroeconomic conditions, and the maturation of key sectors like DeFi and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. While historical cycles and current indicators like growing stablecoin liquidity are positive, risks remain, including regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic shocks. Success requires a focus on long-term, diversified strategies rather than short-term speculation.

Co-branded cards: the what, why, how

Co-branded cards are payment cards issued by a financial institution in partnership with a consumer brand, featuring the brand's identity. They drive business growth by enhancing customer loyalty through integrated rewards, creating new revenue streams via interchange fees, and providing valuable spending insights. These cards can be open-loop or closed-loop. Successful implementation requires a strategic partnership between the brand, a financial institution, and a payment network, balancing attractive perks with potential drawbacks like higher interest rates.

What is deflation? The only guide you need to read

What is deflation? The only guide you need to read

Deflation is a sustained decrease in the general price level of goods and services, increasing the purchasing power of money. While lower prices seem beneficial, deflation often signals economic weakness. It can lead to a harmful cycle where consumers delay purchases, businesses reduce production and cut jobs, and debt becomes more burdensome. Central banks actively combat deflation using monetary policy tools to avoid this deflationary spiral and maintain stable, low inflation, which is generally considered healthier for an economy.
