Bitwise: bitcoin will grow to $ 200 thousand in 2025

Analytical company Bitwise Asset Management has made 10 optimistic forecasts for the development of the cryptocurrency market in 2025. Among the most important forecasts are that Bitcoin will reach $ 200,000 by the end of next year, as well as a significant increase in the shares of companies with significant crypto investments.

The main forecasts of Bitwise analysts:

• Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana will reach new historical highs, and bitcoin will trade above $ 200,000.
• Bitcoin exchange-traded funds will raise more money in 2025 than in 2024.
• Coinbase will surpass Charles Schwab as the most expensive broker in the world, and its shares will exceed $ 700 per share.
• 2025 will become the «Year of the Cryptocurrency IPO» when at least five crypto unicorns (companies with a capitalization of more than $ 1 billion) will go public in the United States.
• Tokens launched by artificial intelligence agents will cause even more memecoin mania than in 2024.
• The number of countries with bitcoin will double. Some initiatives have already begun to be implemented: Russia is considering the creation of a national bitcoin reserve, and Canada is also discussing similar ideas.

• Coinbase will be included in the S&P 500 and MicroStrategy will be added to the Nasdaq-100. These developments are expected to increase the influence of cryptocurrencies on American investors
• The U.S. Department of Labor will ease its guidelines for cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans, allowing billions of dollars to flow into cryptocurrency assets.
• The assets of stablecoins will double to $ 400 billion when the US passes the long-awaited stablecoin legislation. The growth is expected to be driven by the new US legislation. It is also supported by projects such as Ripple, which has received permission from New York regulators to launch the stablecoin RLUSD.
• The value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will exceed $ 50 billion as Wall Street becomes increasingly fascinated by cryptocurrencies.

Bitwise’s forecasts reflect current trends in the industry, including the growing influence of cryptocurrencies in the financial and political spheres. According to analysts, if the trends continue, 2025 could be a turning point for cryptocurrencies, turning them into a key element of the global economy.
