Predictions for Ethereum (ETH) in 2025

1. Market performance and ETH price prediction
In 2025, Ethereum (ETH) continues to be the focus of attention in the community. Although it ended 2024 with a 63% increase, ETH still lagged behind competitors like Bitcoin (BTC), BNB, and Solana in terms of growth rate. The forecast for 2025 suggests that the price of ETH could fluctuate between $4,000 and $8,000, depending on market factors and institutional adoption.

2. Challenges from competition and internal issues
Ethereum is facing increasing competition from other blockchains. In 2024, Ethereum generated only $133 million in fees over 30 days, falling behind many other projects like Solana. Additionally, the Ethereum Foundation has faced criticism regarding transparency and leadership changes, causing skepticism within the community.

3. Network expansion strategy and upgrades
Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has shared the expansion strategy for Ethereum in 2025 and beyond. He emphasized the crucial role of Layer-2 solutions in enhancing processing capabilities and reducing transaction costs. The Pectra upgrade, expected to be deployed in early 2025, will improve performance and user experience on the Ethereum network.

4. It is anticipated that the Ethereum staking rate will exceed 50% by the end of 2025, along with the development of Layer-2 solutions, laying the foundation for sustainable growth of ETH.

5. The future of Ethereum in the cryptocurrency ecosystem, despite facing numerous challenges, remains a significant player in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With technical upgrades, ETH has the potential to continue strong growth in 2025.

From Bitcoin to multi-asset reserves: The shift in America's thinking about cryptocurrency
The idea of adding cryptocurrency to America's national reserves has undergone changes.
Initially, Bitcoin (#BTC ) was almost the only choice. As the first widely recognized cryptocurrency, with a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin is viewed by many as an ideal hedge against inflation – a form of 'digital gold' that can be used to protect the economy from unstable fluctuations.
However, there is an increasing viewpoint that #BTC may not be enough. Some leaders in the financial industry are advocating for the expansion of America's reserves, including XRP. This proposal has sparked new debate.
Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, shared on X:
"A few thoughts on maximalism... I want to say this as clearly as possible – the crypto industry currently has an opportunity to achieve many common goals, if we collaborate instead of attacking each other. This is not and will never be a zero-sum game.
I own $XRP $BTC $ETH along with some other tokens – we are living in a multi-chain world, and I have always supported a level playing field instead of pitting this token against that token.
If a government digital asset reserve is created, I believe it should represent the entire industry, rather than just one single token (whether that be BTC, XRP, or any other asset).
Maximalism still poses a significant barrier to development, and I am glad to see fewer and fewer people endorsing this outdated way of thinking."

In recent days, PancakeSwap (CAKE) – the main token of the largest decentralized exchange on the BNB Chain ecosystem – has experienced a price surge. What has caused CAKE to rise sharply?
1. Impressive growth in Total Value Locked (TVL)
The TVL of PancakeSwap has increased by 15.91% in the last 24 hours, reaching 1.85 billion USD. An increase in TVL means more users are depositing assets into the platform, reinforcing investor confidence in this ecosystem. This is a signal that PancakeSwap remains one of the leading DEXs in the market.

*What is Total Value Locked (TVL)?
(TVL - Total Value Locked) is the total value of assets (usually measured in USD) that are locked in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. It reflects the amount of assets being deposited into DeFi platforms for activities such as:
• Liquidity Providing
• Staking (betting to earn rewards)
• Lending (loaning digital assets)

2. Increase in revenue from transaction fees
According to statistics, PancakeSwap generated 50.04 million USD from transaction fees in the past week, with the last 24 hours alone contributing an additional 8.43 million USD. The increase in trading volume indicates that the platform is becoming more active, leading to a rise in demand for CAKE.

3. Deflationary strategy makes CAKE scarcer
The buyback and burn policy for CAKE aims to reduce the circulating supply, thus increasing the value of this token. After a period of price suppression for buyback, investors are hopeful for upcoming price increases.

CAKE has shown recovery. However, to maintain this trend, CAKE needs to continue demonstrating long-term potential and scalability within the DeFi ecosystem.

#BTCNextMove Robert Kiyosaki, author of the popular book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, has encouraged investors to buy Bitcoin now, as he predicts that the value of this cryptocurrency will reach $350,000 by 2025. Kiyosaki believes that, with the democratic nature of Bitcoin, people only need to buy 1/2 satoshi to benefit from the increase in value.

Kiyosaki is the co-author of the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” with Sharon Lechter, a work that made his name famous. The book has sold more than 32 million copies and has been translated into 51 languages. The highlight of the book is that it has been on The New York Times Best Seller list for more than six consecutive years.

Kiyosaki has always encouraged people to invest in digital assets, including Bitcoin, on the grounds that fiat money, the US government, and the dollar are not trustworthy. The renowned author recommends that people buy Bitcoin even in small amounts. He asserts that Bitcoin was created to help people build wealth. Kiyosaki urges people to take action now before 2025.

A “sat” (short for satoshi) is the smallest unit of Bitcoin. Named after Bitcoin’s anonymous founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, a satoshi is equal to 0.00000001 BTC, or one hundred millionth of a Bitcoin.

The FOMC meeting will conclude on the afternoon of September 18 (U.S. time) and the Fed's interest rate decision will be announced at 2 PM Eastern Time (North America).

While markets have priced in a 100% chance that the Fed will lower interest rates during the two-day policy meeting on September 17-18 (U.S. time), there remains much debate about how far Fed officials will take monetary policy.

Will the Fed implement the traditional cut of 25 basis points or will it be aggressive from the start of the rate-cutting cycle with a reduction of 50 basis points?

Observers of the Fed's actions are concerned that inaction from this FOMC monetary policy meeting could have a larger-than-normal impact. The FOMC meeting will conclude on the afternoon of September 18 (U.S. time) and the Fed's interest rate decision will be announced at 2 PM Eastern Time (North America).

Experts predict 'shock' ahead of the important meeting: The Fed will cut rates for the last time on December 18, but could quickly "reverse course" to raise rates as soon as 2025.

The Fed's final meeting of 2024 will take place on December 18. While the market forecasts a nearly certain 25 basis point cut, the outlook for January remains unclear.

According to Yardeni Research, Mr. Jerome Powell may announce at the press conference following the meeting that the next interest rate adjustment decision will be a pause.

Yardeni Research stated: “After cutting rates by 100 basis points since September 18, we expect Chairman Powell to signal that the Fed will pause easing policy in the near future, after the final meeting of the year.”

The recovery and positive growth of the U.S. economy is the main reason the Fed can assert that the next step regarding interest rate adjustments on December 18 will be the final cut after a period of time.

Bitcoin price sets a new record following Mr. Trump's announcement.

Mr. Trump once again announced plans to establish a national strategic bitcoin reserve, similar to the strategic petroleum reserve...

The bitcoin price surpassed the milestone of 107,000 USD on Monday (December 16) after the President-elect of the United States, Mr. Donald Trump, once again announced plans to establish a national strategic bitcoin reserve, similar to the strategic petroleum reserve. This announcement by Mr. Trump heightened the excitement that was already high among investors in the cryptocurrency market.

Additionally, investor sentiment was bolstered by MicroStrategy - a software company that has become a bitcoin investor - being added to the US stock index Nasdaq 100. Membership in this index could help MicroStrategy raise more capital, thereby allowing it to invest more in the world's largest digital currency.

The bitcoin price at one point reached 107,148 USD, an unprecedented high in history, increasing by more than 5% compared to the close on Friday.

At around 6 AM this morning Vietnam time, bitcoin traded above 106,000 USD, up over 2% compared to 24 hours ago and nearly 9% compared to one week ago - according to data from Coinmarketcap.com. The price of the world's second-largest cryptocurrency, ethereum, reached over 4,020 USD, increasing nearly 3% compared to the previous day and more than 8% compared to last week.

According to data from CME Group, experts predict there is about a 60% chance the Fed will cut interest rates by an additional 0.25 percentage points at the end of this month. The Fed is scheduled to meet on December 18-19 to make a decision on interest rate policy based on some economic data expected to be released at the end of this week.

According to CME Group's Fedwatch survey tool, investors predict a 75% probability that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will cut interest rates in December and enact two more cuts in 2025.

The reason investors have made this prediction stems from a speech by Fed Chairman Jerome Powell at a New York Times event on December 4. Mr. Powell stated that the U.S. economy is stronger than it was in September – when the Fed began lowering interest rates, allowing policymakers to be "a little more" cautious in further loosening monetary policy.

Mr. Powell clearly stated: "We want to send a strong signal about supporting the labor market if that sector continues to weaken. The economy is stronger than it was in September according to our assessment at that time."

According to Mr. Powell, the positive information is that the Fed may be more cautious in determining the neutral interest rate - the rate that neither stimulates nor restrains growth.

🇺🇸US CPI data released:

- Headline CPI Y/Y: +2.7% (expected 2.7%)
- Headline CPI M/M: +0.3% (expected 0.3%)
- Core CPI Y/Y: +3.3% (expected 3.3%)
- Core CPI M/M: +0.3% (expected 0.3%)

All figures matched expectations, with core CPI unchanged from last month's figure despite various factors affecting prices. CPI did not surprise, but that is sufficient for the market.#btc

8:30 PM tonight is an important milestone.

The November CPI data to be released on December 11 will be the last important economic data the Fed receives before the upcoming policy meeting on December 18. This will also be the last meeting of Fed officials for the year 2024.

Analysts say that a surprising rise in inflation could cause the central bank to pause its rate-cutting cycle this month. However, investors believe that the inflation data will not rise to that extent.

According to CME's FedWatch Tool, as of the beginning of this week, the market predicts about a 90% chance that the central bank will cut rates by 0.25%. This cut would lower the federal funds rate to a range of 4.25% - 4.50%.

Economists at Bank of America believe that the November CPI data will have a much greater impact on stocks and BTC than investors think.

"We believe that the two major pieces of information remaining for the year (CPI and FOMC) could guide the market in the short term. A decrease in inflation could pave the way for a year-end stock rally. Conversely, an increase in inflation could cause volatility," strategists said.

Telegram CEO Released on €5 Million Bail

A Paris court has issued a decision to prosecute Telegram CEO Pavel Durov, and banned the Russian billionaire from leaving France despite posting bail.

According to RT, on August 28, the Paris court issued a decision to prosecute Telegram CEO Pavel Durov on 6 charges, including allowing illegal transactions on an online platform, distributing child pornography, drug trafficking, money laundering, involvement in organized crime, and refusing to provide information to authorities.

The Paris judge emphasized that because prosecutors have grounds to officially investigate the case, Mr. Durov will be banned from leaving France and will be subject to judicial supervision. The Telegram CEO later paid €5 million bail to be released, but will have to appear at the police station twice a week.

Local media said the court's decision was to legitimize the investigation into the case. However, the case could be dropped if prosecutors fail to provide sufficient evidence. This is a big boost to Ton and Dogs's price today.

'Mother' recession indicator Sahm Rule: The Fed is 'playing with fire' by not cutting interest rates right now.
According to economist Claudia Sahm, the US Federal Reserve's (Fed) failure to cut interest rates right now risks weakening the economy.

Claudia Sahm is the author of a time-tested rule for determining when a recession occurs. She points out that when the three-month average unemployment rate is more than half a percentage point above the 12-month low, the economy is in recession.

As the unemployment rate has risen in recent months, the “Sahm Rule” has left Wall Street buzzing that the strong labor market is starting to show cracks and bring with it potential trouble. . That has created speculation about when the Fed will start cutting interest rates.

Ms. Sahm, chief economist at New Century Advisors, said the central bank is running a big risk by not gradually cutting interest rates now. A potential recession could force policymakers to act more aggressively.

The economist noted her indicators do not yet indicate a recession, but it is a risk. “I don't know what they're waiting for,” she said, noting that the worst possible scenario is that the Fed creates an unnecessary recession.

She commented that inflation has decreased a lot. Although the target has not been reached, inflation is moving in the right direction, while unemployment is moving in the wrong direction. “The closer we get to the danger zone in the labor market, the farther we get from the danger zone of inflation. So what the Fed needs to do is quite clear." - CNBC

Altcoins sold off in panic as South Korea inspected 600 tokens after implementing virtual assets law.

According to Korean media, exchanges will inspect 600 listed tokens after the virtual assets law takes effect next month. This panic may have caused the prices of many altcoins to plummet.

A representative of a won exchange in Korea said that checking listing standards is not new but has been done before, and the possibility of mass delisting is very low.
