Growing Institutional Interest May Cause Bitcoin ‘Demand Shocks’ In 2025

Crypto asset management company Sygnum predicts institutional investor-led ‘demand shocks’ might boost Bitcoin (BTC) prices in 2025. Alternatives may underperform owing to limited capital rotation from BTC to other cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin Should Maintain Momentum Through 2025

In Crypto Market Outlook 2025, asset management Sygnum listed many variables that might boost BTC prices next year. The crypto bull market in 2025 will be driven by institutional capital inflows, according to the analysis.

The data shows a ‘multiplier effect’ from institutional inflows and Bitcoin's limited liquid supply. Each $1 billion of net inflows into spot BTC ETFs apparently raises prices by 3-6%.

According to the analysis, reflexivity boosts Bitcoin's price momentum by increasing demand. Institutional inflows, the multiplier effect, and Bitcoin's reflexivity will make 2025 crucial for the cryptocurrency.
