Rise of Bitcoin and Ethereum and DeFi Support
Analysts predict that Bitcoin's price will exceed $150,000 in the first half of 2025 and reach $185,000 by the end of the year. Institutions and countries will support this rise by embracing it. Ethereum will surpass $5,500 due to regulatory clarity and traditional finance partnerships in the DeFi sector. These two major cryptocurrencies are likely to shape the market in 2025.
Investors predict that the total value of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the US will exceed $250 billion. This growth will increase individual and institutional interest in Bitcoin. Leading financial platforms recommending at least a 2% allocation to Bitcoin in portfolios will also encourage investors.
Corporate and National Steps
In 2025, it is expected that five major Nasdaq companies and five countries will add Bitcoin to their reserves. This move will increase the importance of Bitcoin as a global asset. In addition, a significant technological upgrade is planned for the Bitcoin protocol. This will improve the functionality and scalability of the network.
There will also be major changes in the field of Bitcoin mining. More than half of the mining companies will collaborate with artificial intelligence and high-performance computing companies to reduce their environmental impact. In addition, the use of Bitcoin in the DeFi sector could almost double, showing that it is not just a store of value.
Innovations in DeFi and Ethereum
It is expected that more than 50% of Ethereum's supply will be staked. This will increase investors' confidence in Ethereum and the security of the network. The efficiency of Layer-2 networks will surpass that of alternative Layer-1 blockchains. These networks, which offer faster and cheaper transactions, will become more attractive to users.
