In 2025, real-asset tokens, artificial intelligence, and Bitcoin as a treasury asset may gain popularity.
Experts predict meme coins could be a major trend next year but are skeptical about Solana and XRP ETFs.
Bitcoin consolidates above $94,000 on Monday.
Cryptocurrency adoption and institutional money are set to increase in 2024. Experts predict developments in 2025 as the sector evolves and Bitcoin continues to rise.
Meme coins and AI tokens were major stories for 2024, and Brickken executives expect market players to show even more interest in them in 2025.
In 2025, RWA, AI, and Bitcoin may drive cryptocurrency treasury.
Digital asset ETF firm Bitwise predicts the RWA industry will be worth over $50 billion by 2025. These are the top 10 cryptocurrency forecasts for the coming year. The paper notes that digital RWA was worth less than $2 billion three years ago.
Bitwise experts predict continued Wall Street adoption of cryptocurrencies in “The Year Ahead: 10 Crypto Predictions for 2025,” released on December 10.
ParaFi Venture Capital and the Global Financial Markets Association share Bitwise’s 2025 forecast. ParaFi expects the RWA market to reach $2 trillion by 2030, while the GFMA has set a five-year target of $16 trillion.
Edwin Mata, CEO and co-founder of Brickken, told FXStreet in an exclusive interview:
RWA will be of interest to critical people. BlackRock and JP Morgan are stepping in to make RWA important. I see AI agents involved. Various governments may use Bitcoin as a treasury.
Meme coins are a major trend in the market cycle and may continue into 2025.
“Meme coins may fade or grow in the coming year. They may find a commercial niche. The trends are welcome and encouraging.”
Edwin emphasized the need for the category to become vertical like L1, L2, AI, and DePin. Edwin said:
“With meme coins, it’s like gambling, but it’s not the main story. Market maturity and verticality are all that matters.”
Bitcoin is balancing above $94,000 despite declining open interest on derivatives exchanges and BTC reserves.
