Galaxy Research shared its predictions for the 2025 cryptocurrency market via Twitter, covering various areas including Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, DeFi, L2s, and more. Key predictions include:
Bitcoin is expected to break $150,000 in the first half of 2025, with the fourth quarter potentially reaching or exceeding $185,000. Benefiting from regulatory easing in the DeFi and staking sectors, Ethereum will surpass $5,500 in 2025. By the end of 2025, it is expected that the staking ratio of Ethereum will exceed 50%. In 2025, a significant number of leading Bitcoin miners will collaborate with high-performance computing (HPC) and AI companies to drive the transformation of mining infrastructure. At least one top wealth management platform will announce a recommendation for a Bitcoin allocation of 2% or more in portfolios, further boosting inflows into Bitcoin ETPs. DeFi enters the 'dividend era': DeFi applications are expected to start distributing at least $1 billion in value to users and token holders in 2025, and venture capital in the crypto industry will exceed $150 billion, a year-on-year increase of over 50%. By 2025, the supply of stablecoins is expected to double, and more stablecoin projects supported by traditional finance (TradFi) partners will be launched. [Original link]
