According to BlockBeats, Matthew Sigel, the Digital Asset Research Director at VanEck, has suggested in a recent investor report that the crypto market peak might occur between the second and fourth quarters of 2025 if the current cycle follows previous trends. Historically, the cryptocurrency market has experienced a clear four-year cycle, with price peaks typically occurring after halving. Each halving has set a new historical high. Sigel believes that the current cooling phase of the market is a precursor to another surge.
In addition, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at digital asset management company Bitwise, anticipates that the market will further rise after the eventual launch of a US Ethereum spot ETF. By the end of 2025, the Ethereum ETF could see a net inflow of $15 billion. 'Investors like tech stocks, and it's easy to imagine investors selling a small amount of tech investment and buying ETH,' Hougan said.
Pav Hundal, Chief Market Analyst at cryptocurrency trading platform Swyftx, stated that decentralized finance is likely to be more attractive to businesses and retail investors when the political environment is so unpredictable. 'If nothing unexpected happens, decentralized finance will definitely be more attractive to businesses and individual investors,' Hundal said.
