VanEck predicted significant developments in the crypto industry for 2025. These ranged from a double-peaked bull to the US adopting Bitcoins as strategic reserves.
The firm’s 2025 predictions report envisions milestones that could redefine the role of digital assets in global finance, driven by regulatory clarity and institutional momentum.
Bull market peaks, strategic US adoption
VanEck expects a double-peak bull market. Bitcoin (BTC) will reach new highs during the first quarter, before settling down in mid-year. Both assets are expected to surpass their previous highs in the fourth quarterly.
According to the firm, Bitcoin will reach $180,000 by 2020, Ethereum $6,000 and Sui $500. This report predicts that US crypto policy will undergo a radical shift.
Crypto-friendly officials are poised, under the Trump administration to incorporate Bitcoin into strategic reserves at federal and state levels. States like Texas and Florida may establish Bitcoin holdings independently, while federal initiatives could leverage the Treasury’s Exchange Stabilization Fund.
Clarity in regulation is likely to increase the number of global crypto developers. This will boost US talent by 25%. It also forecast that US Bitcoin hash rates would reach 35% due to regulatory clarity and low energy costs.
VanEck further projects a 43% increase in corporate Bitcoin holdings, with publicly listed companies surpassing 1.1 million BTC, overtaking the estimated holdings of Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto. The firm believes this trend will solidify America’s leadership in the global Bitcoin economy.
NFT, DeFi and tokenized securities
DeFi’s growth is set to be unprecedented, as DEX trading volume will likely reach $4 trillion.
Ethereum’s role as a settlement layer will strengthen as its blob space fees generate $1 billion by year-end, driven by Layer-2 rollups and high-value applications like tokenized securities.
As blockchain technology simplifies the issuance of equity and debt, tokenized securities are set to surpass $50 billion. VanEck forecast that platforms like Coinbase might tokenize their shares to set a new standard in on-chain financial products.
Market analysts expect the NFT sector, which has suffered significant losses in recent years to rebound to $30 billion worth of trading volume. VanEck credits this revival to the cultural impact of existing collections, such as CryptoPunks or Bored Ape Yacht Club. Innovative projects like Pudgy Penguins are also transforming into consumer brands.
VanEck’s predictions envision a year of transformation, where regulatory progress, technological innovation, and institutional adoption converge to shape the future of digital assets. The firm’s insights highlight the accelerating integration of cryptocurrencies into global finance and culture, positioning 2025 as a pivotal year for the industry.
