The First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry and Digital Economy ETF (NYSEARCA:CRPT) experienced significant headwinds in 2025, producing disappointing returns for investors. Many investors had anticipated a crypto renaissance after President Trump's election victory and his public promises to make America the "crypto capital of the world." CRPT's portfolio concentrated heavily in Bitcoin miners and proxy stocks, and those concentrated bets delivered challenging returns as the crypto sector failed to rally.
