According to the estimates, Bitcoin (BTC) will reach $ 180,000 during the said period, while Ether (ETH) will rise to $ 6,000.

VanEck predicts that a strategic Bitcoin reserve and crypto regulations in the U.S. will have a positive impact. VanEck predicts that multiple new spot crypto ETPs will be approved under SEC leadership.
The tweet included the following statements;
“While Ethereum ETPs include staking, both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETPs will gain momentum in the same way.”
VanEck’s 2025 predictions include tokenization. According to VanEck, the value of tokenized securities will exceed $50 billion. That value reached $12 billion in 2024. VanEck predicts that tokenized securities will expand to open-source blockchains in 2025.
2025 will be the year of stablecoins

Significant developments will be seen in the field of artificial intelligence
According to VanEck’s estimates, 1 million new AI agents will emerge by 2025. AI agents will perform a variety of activities, including managing investments, developing online communities, playing video games, and making decisions that perform tasks on behalf of users.
VanEck noted the following:
“These brokers have made significant revenues in the last month of 2024. AI brokers will move beyond decentralized finance (DeFi) in 2025. We expect more on-chain activity in this space.”
Money will flow into Tier-2s
Ethereum scaling (layer-2) projects have left their mark on 2024. Many layer-2 blockchains, especially Arbitrum and Optimism, have welcomed new users. Arbitrum, in particular, has managed to stand out with its billions of dollars in total locked assets (TVL).
