Happycoin.club - Head of investment at Bitwise investment company Matt Hogan and head of research Ryan Rasmussen called the next year "the year of crypto IPOs" in the report "10 Cryptocurrency Predictions for 2025".
They predict that at least five major crypto companies will go public in 2025: stablecoin issuer Circle, exchanges Kraken and Figure, crypto bank Anchorage Digital, and analytical company Chainalysis.
Hogan and Rasmussen suggest that by the end of 2025, Bitcoin could rise to $500,000 or even more if the US government accepts Senator Cynthia Lummis' proposal for a strategic Bitcoin reserve and purchases 1 million BTC over the next five years.
Analysts believe that next year the price of ether will recover and reach a maximum of $7,000 thanks to the growing activity in second-level networks based on the Ethereum blockchain. The price of Solana may increase by 250% and exceed $750.
Crypto exchange Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) is also expecting success next year. The company's income from stablecoins, staking, custodial services and the second-level network Base will grow significantly, experts predict. Thanks to this, Coinbase shares more than doubled to $700. This will allow the exchange to enter the S&P 500 index and overtake Charles Schwab, currently the most expensive brokerage.
Bitwise's other predictions include the inflow of funds into US spot BTC-ETFs, which will double compared to this year, as well as the RWA market reaching a record $50 billion.
