Steno Research has released a report forecasting a historic year for cryptocurrencies in 2025, highlighting the role of regulatory changes, improved macroeconomic conditions, and growing institutional investments as key factors in the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum.
BTC and ETH Predictions
The report projects Bitcoin's price to exceed $150,000 and Ethereum’s to surpass $8,000 by 2025. These predictions are driven by factors such as regulatory support, post-halving momentum, and macroeconomic tailwinds, which create a favorable environment for investing in crypto assets.
Role of Institutional Investments
Steno Research forecasts a surge in institutional capital inflows into cryptocurrencies through Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, particularly in the U.S. Net inflows for BTC ETFs are expected to reach $48 billion, while ETH ETFs could see inflows of $28.5 billion by 2025, reaffirming growing institutional trust in cryptocurrencies.
Rise of DApps and Altcoins
The report also highlights the growth of decentralized applications (DApps) and alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins). Total value locked (TVL) in DApps is forecast to reach $300 billion by 2025. Key growth drivers include increased on-chain activity and a reduction in Bitcoin's dominance, allowing altcoins like Ethereum and Solana to gain prominence.
Steno Research concludes that 2025 will be a pivotal year for the cryptocurrency market due to favorable regulatory changes, increasing institutional investments, and technological advancements in DApps and altcoins.
