Euro and Bitcoin currency winners of the first half of 2025

Bitcoin ended the first half of 2025 with a price of $107,000, an unprecedented figure after the first six months of a year. The big surprise however was for the Euro, which has left the US dollar far behind in the field of currency winners and losers so far. An additional piece of news is that stablecoins based on the Euro are growing in popularity.

Summer reces

Although the first two quarters of 2025 were very good for Bitcoin, we should immediately warn about the summer months, which are historically less favorable. Last year we saw (mainly due to the end of the so-called ‘Yen-carry’ trade) a drop of around 10% in the beginning of August for the largest digital currency and at the same time it is the case that investors usually take their profits before they go on a trip during the months of July and August.

On the other hand, it cannot be denied that the strength of the European Euro also brings a lot of good news for Bitcoin, since when the Euro rises, the Dollar normally falls (given that these are the two largest fiat currencies in the world) and therefore the price of Bitcoin is automatically pushed up.

Analysts had predicted a price of 1.20 dollars per Euro by the end of the year. That would be another 4% gain for Bitcoin.

So beware of the normal summer recess and immediately convert some Dollar stablecoins into Euro stablecoins seems to be the best advice at the moment.
