Galaxy Research, a leading cryptocurrency analysis firm, has announced its 2025 predictions, which include major developments for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, stablecoins, DeFi, and more. Here are the company’s predictions:
- Bitcoin to Pass $150,000: Galaxy Research predicts Bitcoin will surpass $150,000 in the first half of 2025 and test or exceed $185,000 by the end of the year. This growth will come from institutional, corporate, and nation-state adoption. Bitcoin is expected to reach 20% of gold’s market cap and continue its outperformance against traditional asset classes like the S&P 500 and gold.
- ETFs Soar: U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETFs) are expected to surpass $250 billion in assets under management (AUM) by 2025, driven by record inflows and price appreciation. Large hedge funds and institutional investors have already contributed significantly to this growth.
- Best Asset in Risk-Adjusted Returns: Bitcoin will continue to be one of the best-performing assets globally on a risk-adjusted basis, with its Sharpe ratio outperforming most equities, commodities, and fixed-income securities.
- Asset Managers Support Bitcoin: At least one major asset management platform is predicted to offer a 2% or higher Bitcoin allocation in 2025, further accelerating institutional adoption.
- Corporate and Sovereign Assets: Five Nasdaq 100 companies and five countries are expected to add Bitcoin to their balance sheets or sovereign wealth funds.
- Mining Partnerships with AI: More than half of the top 20 publicly traded Bitcoin miners by market cap may partner with hyperscalers or AI firms, balancing growth in hashrate with increasing demand for high-performance computing.
- Ether to Surpass $5,500: Easing regulatory pressure on DeFi and staking could push Ethereum to new highs.
- Dogecoin to Reach $1: The world’s largest memecoin, Dogecoin, is predicted to reach the long-awaited $1 milestone, reaching a market value of $100 billion.
