What does 2025 hold for Bitcoin? Mariel Lang, cryptocurrency analyst, offered us a perspective on the future of the most recognized cryptocurrency worldwide and its impact on the financial market
With a market that marks in green with the price of Bitcoin at $104,000 at the time of writing this article, it is almost impossible not to wonder: What will happen to BTC 90.509 $ in 2025? What will happen to the mother cryptocurrency that during this market where it has marked several new historical figures and achieved a new chapter in world financial history? To clarify the panorama, Cointelegraph in Spanish spoke with Mariel Lang, a crypto-fiduciary flow analyst.
Lang said that 2025 is a year that looks quite interesting on an economic level, not only for Bitcoin: “The economic decisions that the United States is making about the adoption of BTC could create a wave for other countries to join the adoption of the digital asset, with the possibility that it could even become legal tender in other countries.”
Bitcoin is in for a brilliant first quarter
The analyst noted that “much of the analysis points to the fact that, at the very least, we will have a brilliant first quarter and will most likely see a new all-time high. So 2025 may be the start of something very important. There is also the possibility that we will see a change in the cycle, since it is the first time that Bitcoin becomes a mainstream asset in the way that it is now.”
“The previous cycle was extremely speculative, and the one before that was marked by an ICO bubble, so the situation is quite different. That gives me some optimism. While we may see a correction in the second half of the year, we may also change our paradigm on what we considered a volatile asset and begin to see the fundamentals of a true store of value."
The Grinch steals 180 billion dollars from Bitcoin this Christmas
The start of a new phase of the cryptocurrency bull market in November 2024 promised a parabolic Christmas for Bitcoin (BTC). However, as recent trades show, something may have gone wrong during the dizzying rise.
Specifically, after soaring 56%, from 67,811 USD on November 5 to a historic high (ATH) above 108,000 USD on December 17, the price of BTC fell at the time of publication to 98,940 USD, wiping out approximately 180 billion dollars from its market capitalization.
In fact, at its recent peak, the total valuation of the world’s leading cryptocurrency surpassed 2.14 trillion dollars. In contrast, on December 24, Finbold data revealed that BTC had a market capitalization of 1.93 trillion dollars.
Can Bitcoin still enjoy the ‘Santa Claus’ rally in 2024?
Despite the magnitude of the collapse, it is worth noting that Bitcoin’s market capitalization remains approximately 600 billion dollars above where it was on Election Day. Additionally, the most recent trend at the time of publication shows signs of recovery, as BTC’s valuation is well above the 7-day lows, close to 1.83 trillion dollars.

Additionally, it still seems possible for a ‘Santa Claus’ rally or a bullish start in 2025 to occur, despite the ‘Grinch’ of the cryptocurrency market seemingly stealing the anticipated parabolic year-end surge. Bitcoin's recent drop was dictated by external factors.
Bitcoin remains below $100,000, but the market anticipates a recovery
The star asset sank to the $96,000 area. However, experts say it could close strongly in 2024. What's happening with Ethereum. After reaching a new all-time high ($108,268), the price of Bitcoin was under a strong downward trend that positioned it below $100,000 since last Thursday. Although the main cryptocurrency of the financial ecosystem is now located in the $96,000 area, the truth is that it touched the $93,000 line and generated concern among savers.
The key point of this streak was linked to the decision taken by the United States Federal Reserve (Fed), which decided to cut rates a few days after Donald Trump's inauguration.
Hopes for a "Santa rally" for Bitcoin have faded after the price hit a December low
Bitcoin has fallen 14.5% from its peak this month, as the cryptocurrency plummeted below $92,500 this week.
Bitcoin dropped to its lowest price since late November, reducing hopes for a “Santa Claus rally,” which has historically generated solid gains during the holiday season in years preceding market cycle peaks. It fell to $92,442 during overnight trading on December 23, its lowest price in four weeks, and a correction of 14.5% from its all-time high of just over $108,000 on December 17.
It briefly recovered to surpass $95,000 before falling back to $94,000 during early trading on December 24, and continues with a decline of more than 11% in the last week.
Historically, Bitcoin has experienced significant price increases during several Christmas seasons.
The behavior of Bitcoin (BTC) in the past is often used to try to anticipate future behaviors.
This is why many investors, traders, and market analysts expected the digital currency created by Satoshi Nakamoto to have a bullish rally that would take it to new heights, precisely around this time.
The trader who identifies on the social network X as "Mister Crypto" wrote on December 11: "Bitcoin always goes parabolic around Christmas in halving years. This time will be no different."
Perhaps Bitcoin will surprise us tomorrow, but at least, up to the moment of writing this article, no Christmas rally is occurring. On the contrary, Bitcoin is closer to 90,000 dollars than to its all-time high of 108,000 dollars.

For those knowledgeable about the topic, I have a question regarding the USUAL Launchpool. I saw a countdown and how many cryptocurrencies I was gaining, but here in #BIOCoin , everything is static and I don't see any increase.
For the critics of why I don't hold with BNB, it's because I am waiting for the drop to buy again.
Starting December 30, all exchanges in the European Union must remove USDT from their listings.
As of December 30, the European Union will fully implement the Regulation on Crypto-Asset Markets (MiCA Law), sidelining one of the most widely used stablecoins globally: USDT.
This change opens the door to USDC and EURC, issued by Circle, consolidating a new balance in the European cryptocurrency market.
With a market capitalization close to $163 billion, USDT, the world's largest stablecoin issued by Tether, has been a benchmark in the trading of crypto-assets.
However, compliance with the strict provisions of the MiCA Law has proven impossible for the issuance of this token. The regulation requires that all stablecoins listed on centralized exchanges be issued by entities that hold electronic money licenses and maintain at least two-thirds of their reserves in an independent bank.
One of the largest oil companies ventures into Bitcoin mining
Halliburton (HAL), one of the largest oilfield services companies in the world, announced on December 18, 2024, its partnership with 360 Energy, a company that transforms natural gas into an energy solution for various applications. Among them, Bitcoin (BTC) mining.
Halliburton, founded in 1919 and headquartered in Texas, United States, is responsible for providing services and products for the exploration, production, and processing of oil and gas.
On the other hand, 360 Energy, also located in Texas, is dedicated to capturing natural gas that would otherwise be wasted at natural gas extraction sites or oil fields. Part of that energy generation is used by 360 Energy to mine Bitcoin.
360 Energy employs a technology called "in-field computing" that converts this waste gas into energy to power modular data centers and support intensive computing operations, such as Bitcoin mining.
This technology performs computing processes directly at the location where the energy resource is found. Natural gas is a byproduct that cannot be easily transported due to the lack of infrastructure or because processing costs exceed its market value.
In these cases, the gas is flared or released into the environment, causing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.
Instead of wasting that gas, 360 Energy uses it to generate electricity on-site through portable generators and subsequently market it. That electricity powers data centers or specialized equipment, such as the hardware used by Bitcoin miners, ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits), to perform their computational tasks.
United States: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas plan the creation of a Bitcoin State Reserve
Ohio State Representative Derek Merrin has introduced Bill 703, known as the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act, in an attempt to authorize the state treasurer to invest public funds in BTC.
Ohio State Representative Derek Merrin has introduced Bill 703, known as the Ohio Bitcoin Reserve Act, in an attempt to authorize the state treasurer to invest public funds in BTC.
The latest initiative is announced as part of Merrin's broader vision to leverage innovative financial solutions. The legislation provides the framework for Ohio to incorporate Bitcoin into its state treasury portfolio.
Merrin highlighted concerns about the current devaluation of the US dollar, positioning Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset to preserve the value of state funds and complement the existing financial framework. Although the bill does not mandate the purchase of Bitcoin, it grants the State Treasurer the authority and flexibility to make such investments as part of asset allocation decisions.

The explosive prediction of one of the top investors in Bitcoin: "It will soar to..."
This is one of the "whales" of the sector, who predicted that the star asset could approach $200,000.
As expectations grow around the price of Bitcoin and what could happen in December, one of the top investors in the crypto market assured that the asset could take off in the short term.
The volatility of Bitcoin is like fire. And some people flee from fire. But Henry Ford put fire in a carriage through an engine, created an entire industry, and gave wings to humanity," said Michael Saylor, the CEO of MicroStrategy, in dialogue with CNBC.
After reaching a new all-time high on Thursday, December 3 (at $103,900), the main cryptocurrency of the financial ecosystem fell below the $98,000 mark, although it is now positioned at $102,706.
Some stable cryptocurrencies are equivalent to 1 USD and allow for quick and easy transactions in dollars. USDT, USDC, DAI
There are thousands of cryptocurrencies. Each large network or project in the ecosystem has its own token. And those cryptocurrencies and tokens all have different prices. However, there are very important cases of cryptos designed to always be worth 1 USD: these are dollarized stablecoins, also called crypto dollars. And all the major ones in the ecosystem are available for trading on Ripio: USD Tether, USD Coin, Dai
What is a crypto dollar
Stablecoins are a variety of tokens whose price is linked to that of another asset. Some do this with gold, for instance, and therefore their price changes. In that sense, the “stable” aspect is the relationship with the asset: 1 token of PAX Gold, for example, will always be worth 1 ounce of gold, even though that ounce of gold changes its dollar value frequently.
But there are other cryptos that peg their parity to the US dollar, such as USD Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Dai (DAI), or Binance USD (BUSD), which ensure that one unit of theirs is worth and will always be worth 1 dollar. This makes them very important tools for trading, saving, buying crypto, trading predictably, or exploring blockchain developments.
What are crypto dollars used for
For general users, they allow for easy saving in dollars, the ability to make money transfers with a predictable conversion, and having a reference in traditional currency for the costs of navigating web3 or using dapps, for example.
For traders, they are a fundamental instrument as a pivot for transactions.
For holders, they are a safeguard tool during extended bear markets, and an instrument for programmed buying (for example, through DCA).
A cryptocurrency is a digital asset that uses cryptographic encryption to ensure its ownership, secure the integrity of transactions, and control the creation of additional units, that is, to prevent someone from making copies as we would, for example, with a photo. These currencies do not exist physically: they are stored in a digital wallet.

The partnership of a crypto company linked to Donald Trump with the Tron platform, accused of facilitating transactions for militant groups, raises ethical concerns and conflicts of interest.
The cryptocurrency company presented by the elected President of the United States, Donald Trump, and his new envoy to the Middle East, billionaire Steve Witkoff, has partnered with a crypto platform that, according to authorities and financial experts, is used by criminals and militant groups backed by Iran, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
World Liberty Financial Inc., founded by the Witkoff family two months before the November U.S. elections, with Trump as the financial beneficiary, raised concerns about ethics and conflicts of interest, according to six specialists in government ethics in the U.S.
#BTCReclaims101K The price of Bitcoin rebounds and is very close to a key mark: what experts project for 2025
After several days immersed in a bearish trend, the star asset regained ground and is now located very close to $101,000. What is happening with Ethereum.
In the second week of December, the price of Bitcoin resumed its upward path and returned to being above $100,000; that is, very close to the historical maximum ($103,900) reached on December 5.
In fact, the market projects that the price of the star cryptocurrency could reach new records starting in 2025, with extremely positive projections.
A key piece of information regarding the digital asset is that it is positioned very close to $101,000 - its resistance point - which increases the expectation for "a surprise" before the end of 2024.
The price of a Bitcoin surpassed 100,000 dollars for the first time on Wednesday, a milestone for a digital currency that was once considered a sideshow and a passing fad. What started as 'an experimental project by enthusiasts,' according to Finn Brunton, author of a 2019 book on the history of cryptocurrencies, has become 'a truly impressive feat.'
Those who bet on Bitcoin could well stand today in front of the crowd of skeptics to challenge them: 'Look at whom you mocked,' like a Uruguayan girl who went viral in 2007 after winning a cruise for two in a contest on the Buen día Uruguay program on Canal 4. When handed the microphone, the girl said the phrase as a retort to a schoolmate who had laughed at her.
In May 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz, one of the first cryptocurrency enthusiasts, used Bitcoin to buy two pizzas at Papa John's. He spent 10,000 Bitcoins on one pizza. He spent 10,000 Bitcoins, about 40 dollars of that time, on one of the first purchases made with the digital currency. It has turned out to be the most expensive pizza in history: 1 billion dollars.
Bitcoin is now possibly the most successful investment product of the last 20 years. The value of all circulating coins is 2 trillion dollars, more than the combined value of Mastercard, Walmart, and JPMorgan Chase.
$BNB Shortly after Binance included its new altcoin project, The Protocol (THE), a cryptocurrency investor identified as SmartMoney made a notable move. According to data from Lookonchain, this investor spent 698 BNB to acquire a total of 416,897 THE coins. The current value of this investment exceeds one million dollars, showing a profit margin of exactly 143%.
Bold Move by the Investor
This transaction, which took place just 30 minutes after Binance listed the THE coin, created a big stir in the cryptocurrency community. The investor, paying approximately 429 thousand dollars for 698 BNB, drew attention for their quick decision-making skills. Following this move, the investor's portfolio reached one million dollars with a profit of 596 thousand dollars.
The cryptocurrency is quoted at US$96,571.09; this price shows a variation of 105% from the value of the last 24 hours
This price positions it 105% compared to its value 24 hours ago and 103% in comparison with the same day of the previous week.
The current dominance of the token (market capitalization) is US$1,910,964,348,712.
Bitcoin is the most important cryptocurrency (virtual currency) today. Increasingly accepted worldwide, it can be used to purchase products and services.
Each bitcoin is like a file that is stored in a "digital wallet," either on a mobile phone, a computer, or a tablet. People and businesses can make transfers of bitcoins or a portion of a bitcoin between different digital wallets.
Each of these transactions is recorded in a public list called blockchain. In this way, one can know the history of a bitcoin, in order to prevent thefts, fake copies, or to undo transactions.
There are three main ways to obtain a bitcoin. They can be purchased using real money (dollars, for example); goods and services can be sold and charged in bitcoin; and they can be "mined" (created as it is said in the cryptocurrency market jargon) on a computer.

In my opinion, with $LUNC ’s circulating supply sitting around 6 trillion, the upcoming burn of about 250 billion on October 31st probably won’t have a huge impact. This amount only covers around 3-4% of the total supply, which doesn’t seem enough to trigger a major price surge. While it's a move toward reducing the supply, I just don't think it's substantial enough to really "skyrocket" the token’s value.
Cardano has been struggling since March, and its price is getting close to its one-year low. On-chain indicators show that holders are panicking, which could trigger a selling pressure. THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE - Cardano's price has dropped 15% in the past 30 days. - Its daily trading volume has increased by 5%. - The number of daily active addresses in loss has skyrocketed from 1,680 to 11,960. INVESTORS ARE OFFSETTING LOSSES When investors see their assets dropping in value, they tend to panic and sell. This could lead to a selling pressure, making the price drop even further. THE BEARISH MOMENTUM The market-wide uncertainty ahead of the U.S. presidential elections isn't helping Cardano's case. With only 17% of holders in profit, it's a tough time for ADA investors. THE UNLOCKING OF TOKENS The unlocking of 18.53 million ADA tokens, worth $6.15 million, on October 27 didn't help either. This added to the bearish sentiment around the asset. A GLIMMER OF HOPE? Cardano's integration of BitcoinOS' Grail Bridge might allow Bitcoin holders to make transactions to other networks using the zero-knowledge mechanism. But will it be enough to turn the tide?
