Cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin, have seen significant growth in 2024, driven by Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. According to Forbes, investors are optimistic about the promise of more favorable regulations, which has led Bitcoin to reach the historic mark of US$ 100 thousand. Companies such as BlackRock, one of the largest investment managers in the world, have suggested allocating 1% to 2% to Bitcoin in portfolios, reinforcing institutional interest in the asset.
For 2025, experts such as Valter Rabelo, from Empiricus Research, expect a booming market, with greater institutional adoption and clearer regulations, both in the US and in Brazil. According to an analysis by Hashdex, sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and artificial intelligence (AI) promise to take center stage, by offering innovative and accessible financial solutions.
While Bitcoin remains the leading digital asset, Ethereum is consolidating itself as an infrastructure for decentralized applications, as highlighted by experts in the report. However, it faces increasing competition from assets such as Solana, which are also seeking space in this market.
Challenges such as risk management and regulatory clarity remain, but the combination of blockchain and AI, highlighted by Underblock CEO Vinicius Bazan, should further drive innovation. Despite the uncertainties, the sector presents promising prospects, signaling a significant evolution for crypto assets in the coming years.
