Bitwise's predictions for the crypto market in 2025 are highly optimistic, anticipating major price jumps for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. They attribute this growth to increased institutional adoption through ETFs, corporate investments, and the possibility of government reserves. They expect Bitcoin ETF inflows to surpass those of 2024, Coinbase to outpace Charles Schwab in market value, and several crypto unicorns to go public. Additionally, they foresee a surge in interest driven by AI-generated memecoins.
Other forecasts include a doubling of countries holding Bitcoin, Coinbase and MicroStrategy joining major stock indexes, more lenient Department of Labor guidelines for crypto in 401(k) plans, a doubling of stablecoin assets, and tokenized real-world assets exceeding $50 billion. A standout prediction suggests Bitcoin could outstrip gold's market cap by 2029, potentially trading above $1 million. Overall, the predictions emphasize a significant shift towards greater institutional engagement and clearer regulations, paving the way for substantial growth in the crypto landscape.
