Coinspeaker Renowned Analyst Predicts Bitcoin to Reach $200K in 2025: Details
The cryptocurrency market seems to attempt a fresh start in 2025, with the total market cap rising by 4.6% to reach $3.4 trillion on January 2. Bitcoin BTC $96 618 24h volatility: 3.1% Market cap: $1.91 T Vol. 24h: $33.88 B has recorded a 3.5% increase in the past 24 hours, trading around $96,600.
This follows a tumultuous close to 2024, during which Bitcoin dipped to $92,000 after achieving an all-time high of $108,268 on December 17. As the new year begins, analysts are sharing optimistic predictions, fueled by a mix of macroeconomic trends and potential regulatory shifts under the upcoming administration of Donald Trump.
Renowned crypto analyst and podcaster Tony Edward, host of “Thinking Crypto”, noted the crucial role of macroeconomic trends in shaping the crypto market’s trajectory in 2025. He pointed out that global liquidity, a key driver of asset prices, is expected to increase as the Federal Reserve potentially continues rate cuts and quantitative easing under the new administration.
Edward drew parallels with previous post-halving years like 2013, 2017, and 2021, predicting that 2025 could witness a similar pattern of exponential growth after the April 2024 halving. “We’re entering the final phase of the bull market,” he stated.
Donald Trump’s return to the US presidency is also seen as a positive influence. His administration is expected to favor economic stimulus measures, further boosting liquidity. These developments, combined with a broader macro bull market for assets like stocks, gold, and real estate, create an environment conducive to crypto’s continued rise.
Regulatory Clarity and Adoption
One of the most anticipated developments this year is regulatory clarity. The replacement of SEC Chair Gary Gensler with pro-crypto advocate Paul Atkins is expected to mark a turning point. Market participants are optimistic about Congress passing key legislation, including stablecoin regulations and laws enabling banks to directly custody cryptocurrencies.
Institutional investors have already showcased their confidence in the spot Bitcoin ETFs, pouring $35.24 billion since their launch in January 2024. Edward predicts that key regulations will further pave the way for major institutional capital inflows into the crypto market.
Additionally, measures like the repeal of restrictive accounting standards for banks are expected to further ease access to cryptocurrencies.
On the adoption front, the momentum seen last year is likely to continue. Notably, in 2024, the crypto market saw an over 100% surge in its value, as per the data by CoinMarketCap. Several big firms, including MicroStrategy, Metaplanet, Acurx Pharmaceuticals, and Rumble, have adopted Bitcoin in their asset reserves. According to the podcaster, more companies are expected to follow these firms. Edward also foresees more countries adopting Bitcoin as legal tender.
Bullish Outlook for Bitcoin
Looking ahead, Edward envisions Bitcoin reaching new heights between $150,000 and $200,000 this year, driven by institutional interest. He stated that if the US government adopts the highly anticipated Bitcoin reserve, the market could see Bitcoin rising beyond $200,000. According to him, the total crypto market capitalization could climb to $9 trillion, with a possibility of hitting $10 trillion in an exceptionally bullish scenario.
The analyst also expects altcoins, particularly blue-chip projects like Ethereum ETH $3 470 24h volatility: 3.7% Market cap: $418.01 B Vol. 24h: $18.25 B , Cardano ADA $0.98 24h volatility: 13.4% Market cap: $34.99 B Vol. 24h: $1.65 B , and Solana SOL $208.5 24h volatility: 9.0% Market cap: $100.64 B Vol. 24h: $4.67 B , to outperform, with niche sectors like AI and meme coins gaining massive traction. “Stick to your plan, take profits, and be prepared for a wild ride,” Edward states.
