Galaxy Research has released ambitious forecasts for the 2025 cryptocurrency market, predicting substantial growth and widespread adoption of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and DeFi.
Bitcoin Forecast
Bitcoin is expected to surpass $150K in the first half of 2025, with the potential to test or exceed $185K by the year's end. This surge is anticipated to be driven by institutional investments, corporate allocations, and nation-state adoption. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products are also expected to surpass $250 billion in assets under management (AUM).
Ethereum Growth
Ethereum is predicted to trade above $5,500 due to staking participation surpassing 50%. This increase in staking participation is likely to foster high activity on the platform and facilitate further development.
DeFi Market Development
The DeFi market within the Bitcoin ecosystem could double to $30 billion, driven by miners' partnerships with AI and hyperscale computing firms looking to capitalize on the growing use of decentralized finance.
Galaxy Research's forecasts indicate significant development and adoption of Bitcoin and Ethereum by 2025, potentially transforming the dynamics of the crypto industry and decentralized finance.
