Then I will also make a prediction for 2025 based on my thoughts.
1. Bitcoin reaches 150,000
Under the further push of ETFs and mainstream institutions, the price of Bitcoin is expected to challenge the range of 150,000-200,000 USD, with continued volatility throughout the year, but the overall trend remains bullish.
2. Ethereum breaks 8,000 USD
Complemented by the DeFi, NFT, and GameFi application ecosystems, and supported by ETFs, the value and demand for Ethereum continue to increase, with a chance to break the 8,000 USD mark in 2025.
3. SOL rises strongly, market cap approaches ETH
Due to improvements in speed, transaction fees, and application ecosystems, Solana further enhances its scalability, attracting more global developers and projects, with its market cap continuously approaching Ethereum, leading to a "battle for second place."
4. DeFi 2.0 and RWAs explode
The wave of betting on the tokenization of real-world assets (such as stocks, bonds, real estate, etc.) reaches a new peak in 2025, with traditional financial institutions also laying out plans for RWAs, leading to record high funding and locked amounts.
5. GameFi revival
High-quality, genuinely playable blockchain games begin to emerge as hits, with many traditional game companies entering the blockchain gaming space, collectively promoting a positive cycle in GameFi and creating several phenomenal projects.
6. Zero-knowledge proofs (ZK) flourish
With the maturation of technologies like ZK-rollup and ZK-bridge, ZK achieves breakthroughs in various areas such as privacy payments, KYC identity verification, and cross-chain interoperability, becoming one of the core growth points of blockchain technology in 2025.
7. Regulation, compliance, and reshuffling
Many countries issue clearer and more transparent regulatory frameworks, with compliant cryptocurrency projects gaining more mainstream funding, while projects operating on the edge face heavy blows, leading the market through a new round of survival of the fittest.
8. BRC20 ecosystem completely fades away
Despite a wave of BRC20 hype in 2024, due to the limitations of the ecosystem, BRC20 will gradually fade away.
9. More small countries adopt Bitcoin as legal tender or strategic reserves
Following the successful example of El Salvador and the influence of the U.S. strategic reserves, more small countries facing economic turmoil or high currency devaluation risks may see Bitcoin as an "alternative" reserve asset.
10. At least one black swan event
Exchange failures, major geopolitical conflicts, significant cybersecurity hacking incidents.
11. The bull market ends in September 2025.
