BaFin chief Mark Branson stayed consistent in his latest remarks at the Handelsblatt Banking Summit: greater accessibility through retail banks does not make Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies better investments. He repeated that cryptocurrencies have “no inherent value” and are “more casino than investment.” These soundbites, framed under consumer protection, fail to reflect reality. While criticism of certain industry practices is justified, in 2025 a more nuanced view of the asset class is needed if Germany wants to overcome prejudice and prepare for the future.

For crypto, the framework is similar to traditional financial markets but comes with its own twist. Here, price action turns on liquidity, adoption, regulation, and flows from institutions alongside retail sentiment. Network health—hash rate, staking, active wallets—adds another layer.

Then, as with any market, you use the chart—trend, support and resistance, momentum, and volume—to spot setups and manage risk.
