CoinShares expects significant growth in the cryptocurrency market by 2025, driven by positive regulatory changes and new technology. The European investment firm’s latest report highlights important trends. These include the possible effects of Donald Trump’s presidency, the growth of companies that yield Bitcoin, and progress in Ethereum and Solana.
Analyst Max Shannon believes that a Trump administration might bring regulatory changes that benefit Bitcoin miners and digital assets, making it easier for the crypto sector to thrive. Bitcoin is likely to do well, but altcoins might grow even more. Bitcoin miners that concentrate only on Bitcoin are expected to do better than those that branch out into other areas.
The report points out that Bitcoin ETFs are growing quickly, but there is still a lot of space for more institutional adoption, as only 20% of the assets are held by professional firms. Some companies, like MicroStrategy, are starting to use Bitcoin as a treasury asset. They use methods like yield farming and derivatives to make money.
Big companies like Amazon and Nike are getting more involved with cryptocurrencies and might start using Bitcoin in their finances. Ethereum’s future looks good, with expected growth in Layer 2 solutions and the upcoming Pectra upgrade designed to improve efficiency.
Solana is working on infrastructure improvements to enhance scalability and performance. CoinShares highlights how important it is for institutions to adopt cryptocurrencies, for technology to improve, and for regulations to be clear. They suggest that 2025 might be a key year for the industry.
