The Year Ahead: 10 Crypto Predictions for 2025

2024 was a monumental year for crypto.

Here is the text with all the new lines removed:

Bitcoin soared to an all-time high of $103,992 (and as of the time of writing is up 141.72$33.56 billion in assets. Other major crypto assets saw huge gains as well: Solana gained 127.71% on the year, XRP rose 285.23%, and Ethereum surged 75.77%. Meanwhile, crypto equities like MicroStrategy and Coinbase skyrocketed 525.39% and 97.57%, respectively. Record-setting prices weren’t the only notable development.

Crypto emerged as a clear winner in the 2024 U.S. elections, brightening the regulatory outlook for crypto in the U.S. President-elect Donald Trump embraced crypto in his campaign, vowing to create a strategic bitcoin reserve and reshuffle the SEC, which has historically been hostile to crypto. He also nominated Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, who once said that “crypto is about freedom and the crypto economy is here to stay.”

Going into 2024, Congress is heavily tilted in crypto’s favor, with pro-crypto candidates having defeated crypto detractors in several key races. We expect to see crypto-positive legislation in coming months. Sprinkle on top the incoming global stimulus from China and other major central banks, rising institutional adoption, and rapid improvements in blockchain technology, and the outlook for 2025 is looking pretty bright. We recently gathered the Bitwise brain trust to gaze into 2025.
