Bitcoin has outperformed major financial benchmarks, including the NASDAQ 100, S&P 500, and gold, with a staggering 121% return in 2024.

The report highlights that improving macroeconomic conditions, regulatory clarity and increased institutional adoption will play a vital role in boosting the market. Bitcoin is expected to surpass $150,000, while Ethereum could surpass $8,000, fueled by post-Bitcoin halving momentum, improving liquidity and falling interest rates.
Institutional investments are also expected to increase, with net inflows into US-based Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs estimated at $48 billion and $28.5 billion, respectively. Additionally, the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications (DApps) is expected to reach $300 billion, breaking the record of $180 billion set in 2021.
Ethereum and altcoins are poised for significant gains, with the ETH/BTC ratio expected to reach 0.06. Bitcoin dominance is expected to decline from 57% to 45%, creating opportunities for altcoins like Solana to shine.

Interestingly, the report suggests that a Trump victory in the 2024 US presidential election could benefit altcoins more than Bitcoin. This outcome could foster increased on-chain activity and innovation, thereby accelerating the growth of the crypto sector.
With these optimistic projections, 2025 could mark a transformative year for cryptocurrencies, paving the way for widespread adoption and financial innovation.
