Galaxy Digital’s research arm is making bold predictions for Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2025. According to Alex Thorn, Bitcoin is expected to surge to $150,000 in the first half of the year and potentially reach $185,000 by the end of 2025. This significant growth is driven by increasing adoption from institutions, corporations, and nation-states. Thorn also anticipates Bitcoin surpassing 20% of gold’s market cap. Additionally, he believes Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) will see inflows of tens of billions of dollars next year, with US spot Bitcoin ETPs projected to surpass $250 billion in AUM in 2025.
Data from crypto analytics firm Coinglass indicates that Bitcoin ETFs currently have nearly $110 billion in AUM, with the price of Bitcoin trading at $93,687 at the time of writing. Moving on to Ethereum, Thorn predicts that the leading layer-1 protocol will reach new all-time highs in 2025, with Ether expected to trade above $5,500. Regulatory easing for DeFi and staking, along with new partnerships between DeFi and TradFi, are expected to drive Ethereum’s growth. Corporations are also projected to experiment with their own layer-2 networks based on Ethereum technology, leading to increased activity in the NFT space.
Overall, Thorn’s bullish outlook for both Bitcoin and Ethereum in 2025 is based on factors such as institutional adoption, regulatory developments, and the growing interest in decentralized finance. With Bitcoin on track to surpass $150,000 and Ethereum aiming for $5,500, the crypto market could see significant growth over the next few years. As more investors and institutions enter the space, the potential for further adoption and innovation in the cryptocurrency market remains high.
