2025 Crypto Investment Survey: Over 60% of Participants Report Profits, Majority Are Experienced Traders
Despite a relatively quiet Christmas period with BTC oscillating between $85K-$90K and ETH losing momentum, a year-end investment survey by Odaily reveals that 57% of respondents achieved profits in 2025. Among them, 17.2% saw significant gains (over +50%), while 39.7% reported modest profits. About 27% faced losses, contrasting with common pessimistic sentiment.
Notably, over 60% of participants have been in crypto for more than three years, indicating a market dominated by experienced "veterans." Meme coins remained the top profit driver (34%), followed by major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH (26%), DeFi (16%), and airdrop farming (12%). Conversely, meme coins and altcoins were also the leading cause of losses (28%), alongside contract trading (26%) and setbacks in NFT/GameFi/L2 investments (22%).
Key reasons for losses included failure to cut losses promptly, slow reactions, and over-reliance on market rumors. Only 8.6% attributed losses to frequent trading.
Looking ahead, respondents are optimistic about RWA (31%), AI (25%), and meme coins (24%) in 2026. Prediction markets also show growth potential, with nearly 60% of users already engaged. Investment advice emphasized dollar-cost averaging, focusing on BTC, and taking profits timely.
The article also highlights missed opportunities in 2025, including Trump-themed meme coins, Circle’s IPO, and unexpected airdrops like Plasma (XPL) and ASTER. Despite market volatility, the year offered numerous wealth-building moments, underscoring the dynamic yet challenging nature of crypto investing.
