Vaneck, a leading asset management firm, released its “10 Crypto Predictions for 2025” on Dec. 13, projecting a bullish year for digital assets marked by record highs, strategic adoption, and growing institutional interest. The firm stated:

We believe the crypto bull market will persist through 2025, reaching its first peak in the first quarter.

“At the cycle’s apex, we project bitcoin (BTC) to be valued at around $180,000, with ethereum (ETH) trading above $6,000. Other prominent projects, such as solana (SOL) and sui (SUI), could exceed $500 and $10, respectively,” Vaneck shared.

This surge is expected to be followed by a correction, with bitcoin retracing 30% and altcoins seeing declines as steep as 60%. However, the asset manager remains optimistic about a recovery. “Following this first peak, we anticipate a 30% retracement in BTC, with altcoins facing sharper declines of up to 60% as the market consolidates during the summer. However, a recovery is likely in the fall, with major tokens regaining momentum and reclaiming previous all-time highs by the end of the year,” they noted.

Among the most striking predictions is the increasing role of bitcoin in U.S. policy. Vaneck anticipates that government figures or states like Florida, Texas, or Pennsylvania could establish bitcoin reserves. The asset management firm stressed:

These appointments signal not just the end of anti-crypto policies, such as the systematic de-banking of crypto companies and their founders, but also the start of a policy framework that positions bitcoin as a strategic asset.

Additionally, stablecoin daily settlement volumes are expected to soar to $300 billion, tokenized securities will surpass $50 billion in value, and decentralized finance (defi) will hit new records, with $4 trillion in trading volume and $200 billion in total value locked.

Other key forecasts include the rise of AI agents, which are expected to surpass one million in number, and the expansion of bitcoin layer-2 solutions, with total value locked (TVL) reaching 100,000 BTC. Ethereum’s blob space fees are projected to generate $1 billion, while the NFT market could recover to $30 billion in trading volume. Finally, Vaneck foresees decentralized application (Dapp) tokens narrowing the performance gap with layer-1 (L1) tokens as innovation drives renewed interest.
