Odaily Planet Daily News: Crypto hedge fund ZX Squared Capital's Chief Investment Officer CK Zheng expects a "significant" increase in Ethereum spot ETF inflows in 2025: "We anticipate that in 2025, when the new Trump administration issues more favorable rules and regulations to further promote the development of the digital asset class, inflows will increase significantly." However, 10x Research founder Markus Thielen paints a more pessimistic scenario, predicting that ETH will continue to perform poorly and will struggle to reach new all-time highs in a "hawkish" macro environment in 2025: "We expect a more conservative outlook for ETH in 2025. Unlike previous years, the initial hawkish policies may be tested by weakening liquidity tailwinds." Nevertheless, he still believes that in the "best case," Bitcoin could reach $160,000, although it may drop to around $125,000 and stabilize. Since the Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee cut its expected rate cuts for 2025 from five times to two during the December 18 meeting, the cryptocurrency market capitalization has fallen by 12.1% to $3.41 trillion.
