"2025 Crypto Chronicle: A Review of the 20 Most Influential Tweets Defining 2025"

Preface: Not just tweets, but slices of history.
Author: Amelia I Biteye Content Team, Bbo I XHunt Operations Team
In 2025, the main battlefield of Crypto is not only on-chain and exchanges but also between the lines of Twitter.
This year, we witnessed Trump issuing his own coin, the stablecoin legislation release, the 1011 crash, HashKey going public, and also saw the Meme tide recede, the rise of prediction markets, RWA on-chain, investigative disclosures, and declarations that “the crypto world is dead” flooding the screens.
Prices will retreat, projects will fade away with the wind, but tweets that truly change perceptions will be read repeatedly, cited repeatedly, and retold repeatedly.
So we made this review:
It’s not just about view counts but a comprehensive measure of dissemination power (QT / RT), informational value, author influence, and whether it genuinely shifted community discussion.
Some of these tweets stabilized market sentiment; some tore off the industry’s shameful veil; some directly propelled a narrative to take off; some made the entire community rethink their direction.
Together, they form the most important “public memory fragments” of the Crypto world in 2025, in both Chinese and English.
Below are the TOP 10 most influential Crypto tweets in Chinese and English in 2025 from Biteye’s perspective 👇

💡 Final words: Influence is more than just tweets
How far a tweet can go depends not only on its retweets but also on whether it hits the nerve of the community, promotes cognitive evolution, or even rewrites the industry script.
In 2025, influence is no longer just about price calls and emotional output; what is truly spread widely are real experiences, on-chain evidence, institutional conflicts, value clashes, and the positive confrontations of politics and finance.
Looking back at these 20 high-impact Chinese and English tweets, you will see a clear change:
The Chinese community has clearly moved toward practical implementation, reflection, and de-mystification; while the English community has officially entered a stage dominated by politicization, compliance, and macro narratives.
This is not a matter of good or bad but a signal: Crypto has thoroughly stepped out of the small circle and begun to bear the weight of the real world.
This list is not the end but a slice.
If you still have a “tweet that should be recorded in 2025 but was not included,” feel free to add it in the comments 👇
History is often written one tweet at a time.
