The crypto market has been on an upward trend, bolstered by Donald Trump’s election victory. VanEck has shared ten predictions that could increase the market’s valuation next year.
Bullish Crypto Market Predictions
VanEck's first prediction highlights significant price growth for key assets next year. Bitcoin is predicted to reach $180,000, Ethereum $6,000, Solana $500, and SUI $10. It also anticipates the U.S. adopting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve. The selection of a crypto-friendly SEC chair is expected to lead to the approval of several crypto exchange-traded products. Predictions include Bitcoin-based layer-2 networks reaching a TVL of 100,000 BTC, and the Ethereum Dencun upgrade enhancing blob activity, generating $1 billion in fees.
DeFi and NFT Forecasts
VanEck forecasts the emergence of one million new AI agents utilized in DeFi, social media, and gaming applications. Decentralized exchanges are set to peak at $4 trillion in traded volume and $200 billion in TVL. The NFT market also looks promising, with trading volumes anticipated to recover to $30 billion, led by projects like Pudgy Penguins.
Rise in Tokenized Assets
VanEck predicts that the tokenized securities market could rise from $12 billion to $50 billion next year. The growth is driven by integration with major tech and payment networks.
VanEck’s predictions suggest an optimistic outlook for the crypto market in the coming years. If realized, these would present considerable opportunities for investors and the broader integration of cryptocurrencies in the economy.
