Bitcoin has soared this year, boosted by the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs and the bitcoin halving event, as well as optimism surrounding the election of Donald Trump as U.S. president.
In 2025, attention will turn to the Trump administration's attempts to provide regulatory clarity for the crypto industry.
Some analysts say bitcoin could rise to $200,000 by the end of next year, amid growing demand from institutional investors, though history would suggest the market may be due for a correction.
