Matrixport: Current Market Lacks Positive News to Support Ethereum's Recovery, New Growth Opportunities Expected for Ethereum Next Year
Matrixport released a chart today stating that the rebound of Ethereum and other altcoins seems fleeting and struggles to form a sustained rise. From the trend of Bitcoin's dominance, Bitcoin still firmly controls the market narrative.
The current market lacks clear positive news to support Ethereum's sustained recovery. Investor sentiment is becoming conservative, and Ethereum's dominance has declined again. Since the launch of the Ethereum ETF in early summer 2024, this downward trend has gradually emerged, even though these funds attracted billions of dollars in inflows, they still failed to change the downward trend.
For Ethereum investors, patience may still be required. It is expected that in 2025, if the market environment becomes more favorable, Ethereum is likely to welcome new opportunities for growth, injecting confidence into the market and reversing the current sluggish state.

Specific predictions include: 1) G7 or BRICS countries may establish strategic Bitcoin reserves; 2) The market cap of stablecoins will double to $40 billion; 3) The Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem will achieve rapid growth through L2 networks (such as Stacks, BOB, Babylon), with locked amounts expected to exceed the current $24 billion in cross-chain wrapped Bitcoin; 4) Crypto ETF products will expand to Ethereum staking and Solana sectors; 5) Tech giants like Apple and Microsoft may follow Tesla in increasing Bitcoin holdings; 6) The total market cap of the crypto market will exceed $8 trillion; 7) Improved regulatory environment in the U.S. will drive a revival of crypto entrepreneurship.
The report believes that with the new SEC chairman Paul Atkins taking office and the end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0, the U.S. will regain its position as a global center for crypto innovation. The new round of development will be driven by institutional capital entering the market, DeFi innovation, and clearer regulations.
