The research department of the algorithmic trading company Presto has just released its first annual report titled 'From Chaos to Clarity', reflecting not only the significant fluctuations in the crypto market in 2024 but also providing a series of bold forecasts for 2025.
Highlights of 2024
According to Presto Research, 2024 is a year full of surprises as memecoins like OM and PEPE have risen to become the 'bright stars' in the market, recording impressive increases of 6,118% and 1,231%, respectively. Meanwhile, tokens supported by venture capital funds did not meet expectations, reflecting a shift in investor sentiment, where transparency and sustainability are increasingly dominating.
Additionally, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is also gaining attention as Mantra (OM) leads this trend, demonstrating the potential of projects that combine blockchain technology with real-world value.
The report emphasizes a strong market recovery at the end of 2024 driven by macro factors such as:
The launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
The US presidential election.
A more open regulatory environment.
One of the significant events is the introduction of the strategic Bitcoin reserve bill by the US Senate. Although it has not officially become law, this proposal has stirred global discussions about how countries could stockpile Bitcoin as part of their reserve assets, especially under the support of President-elect Donald Trump.
2025 Forecast: Bitcoin and Solana Surprise
Looking towards 2025, Presto Research predicts a strong boom in many sectors of the crypto market. Bitcoin (BTC) could reach $210,000, thanks to the participation of major institutions and its increasingly important role as a reserve asset.
Meanwhile, the ETH/BTC ratio is expected to recover to 0.05, as the platform addresses user experience issues and strengthens its position as a 'star' in the smart contract space.
Analysts at Presto Research share:
"We take a conservative approach, using a multiplier of 3.5 for the RV forecast of $1.2 trillion by Q3 2025, assuming a +5.3% MoM growth rate from the current RV of $722 billion. The 5.3% growth rate is the compound monthly growth rate of RV from January to November this year, reflecting the positive impact of institutions easily accessing thanks to the launch of spot ETFs, which will drive RV increases as these ETF funds buy more BTC."
"With this calculation, the network value of Bitcoin is expected to reach $4.2 trillion, corresponding to a price of $210,000 per BTC."
The Future of DeFi
In the field of decentralized finance (DeFi), Presto Research also predicts that decentralized exchanges (DEX) will attract increasing attention, with the potential to account for over 20% of the current trading volume of centralized exchanges by the end of 2025. With improved user interfaces and scaling features, these platforms are gradually becoming popular destinations and attracting more participants.

Presto Research's report predicts that the total market capitalization of crypto will reach $7.5 trillion by 2025, driven by the rise of stablecoins, the increasing popularity of smart contract platforms, and strong participation from major institutions.
Additionally, Solana is expected to reach $1,000 based on improvements and performance enhancements in its ecosystem.
Presto Research believes that cryptocurrency is getting closer to becoming part of the global financial system. Clear regulations are considered a crucial factor for the United States to become a global crypto hub. Furthermore, the idea of companies and countries stockpiling Bitcoin is becoming the next big trend, ushering in a new era for the development of the crypto market.
