Experts predict the state of the crypto market in 2025

Expert Lior Shimron, a Stacking DAO analyst and Forbes media contributor, has made seven predictions for the crypto market in 2025. The expert predicts exponential growth of the industry due to regulatory clarity, new ETFs, and innovations in DeFi. Here are the key predictions:

1. Creation of a bitcoin reserve.
One of the G7 or BRICS countries is likely to launch a strategic bitcoin reserve BTC $95,354.13 Bitcoin -3.08% Market capitalization $1.89 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2 billion . Such a move is supported by game theory: countries may compete for the advantage in forming bitcoin reserves due to its limited supply and rising price.

2. Development of the stablecoin sector.
It is expected that the capitalization of stablecoins will exceed $ 400 billion due to the adoption of the relevant legislative framework in the United States. This will increase the stability and attractiveness of these assets for investors.

3. The growth of DeFi in the bitcoin ecosystem.
Second-tier solutions such as Stacks and CoreDAO will expand the capabilities of bitcoin beyond its traditional use. Shimron predicts that the total blocked value (TVL) of Bitcoin DeFi will exceed $ 24 billion.

4. The emergence of new ETFs.
In addition to the growth of spot bitcoin ETFs, cryptocurrency ETFs based on other assets, such as Solana, are expected to appear. This will make the crypto market more accessible and less risky for a wide range of investors.

5. Growth of the crypto market to $ 8 trillion.
The capitalization of the crypto market will significantly exceed the current maximum of $ 3.8 trillion due to the influx of developers and innovations in the areas of DeFi, DePIN, and AI.

Shimron also expects a revival of crypto startups in the United States due to improved regulatory clarity and the removal of restrictions on banking services for crypto companies. According to the expert, 2025 will be a turning point for the crypto industry, contributing to its global adoption and growth.
