Bitcoin's future may be uncertain, with experts predicting a bumpy ride in 2025 due to a lack of legitimate use cases and regulatory uncertainty.
According to BlockBeats, Bloomberg columnists Marcus Ashworth and Mark Gilbert highlighted key insights for 2025, pointing to a turbulent journey ahead. In their discussions of Bitcoin’s future, they referenced Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, who recently posted on the social platform Bluesky. Krugman noted that despite Bitcoin surpassing $1,000,000, it still lacks legitimate use cases even after 15 years.
Bitcoin’s recent surge can be attributed to at least one identifiable factor: expectations of a more lenient approach to cryptocurrencies from the Trump administration. That expectation is likely to come true under the leadership of the incoming SEC Chairman, Paul Atkins. Atkins is seen as having a more accommodating stance toward the crypto market than his predecessor, suggesting that the regulatory environment will certainly become less hostile.
