Galaxy Insights has unveiled its 2025 forecasts for the cryptocurrency market. Key predictions include:
đ 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.
đ Ethereum (ETH) could surpass $5,500.
đ 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.
đ The stablecoin market cap is projected to double, exceeding $400 billion. Tetherâs dominance may drop below 50% due to growing competition from emerging projects like BlackRock's BUIDL, Ethenaâs USDe, and Coinbase/Circleâs USDC Rewards.
đ Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is poised to enter the âprofit-sharing era,â distributing over $1 billion to users and token holders.

đ Blockchain governance is set for a resurgence, with active voter participation increasing by 20%.
đ Top global custodial banks will incorporate digital assets into their offerings, supported by updated OCC regulations allowing national banks to securely manage cryptocurrency assets.
đ US Spot Bitcoin ETFs could see assets under management (AUM) exceed $250 billion.
đ Crypto startup investments are predicted to top $150 billion, marking a 50% increase year-on-year.
đ Dogecoin (DOGE) is forecasted to hit $1, achieving a $100 billion market cap and retaining its position as the leading memecoin.
đ The SEC is anticipated to investigate Prometheum, the first "regulated broker-dealer," for alleged ties to SEC Chair Gary Gensler's practices.
