In an exhilarating turn of events, Bitcoin made waves in 2024 and a recent analysis hints it could surge to $150,000 by mid-2025, possibly even reaching $185,000 by year’s end. This bold prediction comes from Galaxy Research, the analytical wing of Galaxy, a prominent figure in digital asset management. Their projection aligns with VanEck’s, another contender in digital asset management, which also foresees Bitcoin’s value skyrocketing by more than 50% from current figures by 2025.
On their X account, Galaxy Research shared intriguing snippets from their report, laying out their vision for Bitcoin and the entire cryptocurrency landscape. The report forecasts that spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products, or ETPs, are set for a boon, potentially amassing over $250 billion in assets under management by 2025. Alex Thorn, the Head of Research, highlighted on X the tantalizing possibility of U.S. Bitcoin ETPs nearing the AUM of all U.S. gold ETPs, with only $24 billion standing in the way.
The report doesn’t stop there. It casts a bright light on Ethereum’s native token, Ether, expecting it to exceed a price of $5,500 in 2025. This anticipated rise is attributed to regulatory easing and corporations diving into Ethereum’s technology landscape. Moreover, it’s expected that the rate of Ethereum staking—a process vital for network operations like transaction validation and security—will escalate by 50%.
Galaxy Research further speculates that the Trump administration might pave the way for more precise regulatory frameworks for the U.S. crypto sector. Among these regulatory shifts, ETH ETPs in particular might be able to stake a portion of their assets on behalf of their investors, enhancing their market involvement.
Dogecoin, famously championed by Elon Musk and beloved as the top memecoin, is projected to hit the $1 mark by 2025. In a tongue-in-cheek prediction, Galaxy noted on X that the Department of Government Efficiency would outpace Dogecoin’s market cap with budget cuts surpassing its peak valuation.
Beyond these striking forecasts, the report offers an upbeat outlook on stablecoins, the adoption of Bitcoin by major publicly listed companies, and broader market trends. Nevertheless, it cautions readers that these forecasts should not be interpreted as investment advice but serve as representations of potential market trajectories.
