Galaxy Insights has unveiled its 2025 forecasts for the cryptocurrency market. Key predictions include:
💠Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to break past $150,000 in the first half of the year and potentially hit $185,000 by year-end, continuing to outperform traditional assets like the S&P 500 and gold.
💠Ethereum (ETH) could surpass $5,500.
💠At least five Nasdaq 100 companies and five nations are likely to adopt BTC as part of their reserves. While the US may not establish a dedicated reserve, it might leverage its current holdings.
💠The stablecoin market cap is projected to double, exceeding $400 billion. Tether’s dominance may drop below 50% due to growing competition from emerging projects like BlackRock's BUIDL, Ethena’s USDe, and Coinbase/Circle’s USDC Rewards.
💠Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is poised to enter the “profit-sharing era,” distributing over $1 billion to users and token holders.
💠Layer 2 scaling networks are expected to surpass alternative Layer 1 blockchains in economic activity, with L2 fees making up over 25% of total Alt L1 fees by year-end.
💠Blockchain governance is set for a resurgence, with active voter participation increasing by 20%.
💠Top global custodial banks will incorporate digital assets into their offerings, supported by updated OCC regulations allowing national banks to securely manage cryptocurrency assets.
💠US Spot Bitcoin ETFs could see assets under management (AUM) exceed $250 billion.
💠Crypto startup investments are predicted to top $150 billion, marking a 50% increase year-on-year.
💠Dogecoin (DOGE) is forecasted to hit $1, achieving a $100 billion market cap and retaining its position as the leading memecoin.
💠The SEC is anticipated to investigate Prometheum, the first "regulated broker-dealer," for alleged ties to SEC Chair Gary Gensler's practices.
