Forbes publishes 7 important predictions about cryptocurrency in 2025

Forbes has published seven key cryptocurrency industry predictions for 2025, based on current market trends and key events in 2024. Here are the key predictions:

1. G7 or BRICS countries will establish strategic Bitcoin reserves

At least one major country from the Group of Seven (G7) or BRICS will begin building Bitcoin reserves as part of its national financial strategy. This helps reduce dependence on USD and turns Bitcoin into a global reserve asset amid economic instability.

2. Stablecoin market value will double, reaching $400 billion

The market value of stablecoins is expected to increase from the current $200 billion to $400 billion by 2025. This increase reflects high demand for stable digital assets, especially in cross-border transactions and in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi).

3. Bitcoin's DeFi ecosystem will thrive thanks to the L2 network

Bitcoin will expand its applicability in the DeFi sector thanks to Layer 2 networks such as Stacks and BOB. The total value locked (TVL) in these solutions is expected to exceed $24 billion, demonstrating that Bitcoin is not only a store of value but also a platform for cutting-edge financial applications.

4. Expansion of Crypto ETF Products

Following the success of the Bitcoin ETF, it is likely that there will be more new ETF products focused on crypto, including ETFs related to Ethereum and Solana. This will attract strong capital flows from institutional investors.

5. Large technology corporations will increase their ownership of Bitcoin

6. Total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies will exceed $8 trillion

7. The regulatory environment in the US will improve, promoting innovation in the crypto sector
