CoinVoice has recently learned that Forbes senior contributor Leeor Shimron has published seven major trend predictions for the cryptocurrency industry in 2025. The report points out that following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 and milestone events such as breaking $100,000, the cryptocurrency industry will usher in a new round of development opportunities in 2025.
Specific predictions include:
The G7 or BRICS countries will establish strategic Bitcoin reserves; the market capitalization of stablecoins will double to $400 billion; the Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem will achieve rapid growth through L2 networks (such as Stacks, BOB, Babylon), with the locked value expected to surpass the current $24 billion in cross-chain wrapped Bitcoin; cryptocurrency ETF products will expand to include Ethereum staking and Solana, among other tracks; tech giants like Apple and Microsoft may follow Tesla's lead by increasing their Bitcoin holdings; the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market will exceed $8 trillion; an improved regulatory environment in the U.S. will drive a renaissance in cryptocurrency startups.
The report believes that with the new SEC Chairman Paul Atkins taking office and the end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, the U.S. will once again become a global center for cryptocurrency innovation. This new round of development will be driven by the entry of institutional funds, DeFi innovations, and clearer regulations. [Original link]
