Deep Tide TechFlow news, on December 27, reported by Cointelegraph, Citibank's latest research report indicates that the continued adoption of stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs will be the main drivers of digital asset performance in 2025. The report emphasizes that after Trump won the U.S. presidential election in November, three key indicators of the cryptocurrency market—ETF fund inflows, on-chain activity, and stablecoin usage—significantly increased, and this trend is expected to continue into the new year.
Citibank's analysis indicates that Bitcoin ETF fund inflows in 2024 will significantly impact BTC prices, with every $1 billion in inflows averaging about a 4.7% price increase, accounting for approximately 46% of Bitcoin's price volatility. In terms of stablecoins, the market capitalization of the three major stablecoins (USDT, USDC, and DAI) significantly increased after the election, with a cumulative increase of over $25 billion. Citibank believes this trend is particularly beneficial for the DeFi ecosystem, as stablecoins are an important entry point into decentralized finance.
