Arincen - Expectations for a significant rise in Bitcoin's price in 2025 are increasing, as half of the participants in a survey conducted by Hashkey Group expect the digital currency to exceed $300,000 this year, supported by the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies by major institutions. According to Jeff Kendrick, Head of Global Research for Digital Assets at Standard Chartered Bank, Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025, thanks to the emergence of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the expansion of corporate treasury diversification. Analysis from ARK Invest showed that 62% of the circulating supply of Bitcoin has not moved for over a year, reflecting long-term investor confidence.
At the same time, some experts expect the market capitalization of cryptocurrencies to reach $10 trillion by 2025, thanks to new technologies such as security token offerings (STOs) and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). As for Ethereum, analysts expect its price to reach $8,000 by the end of the year, which enhances investor optimism in the sector. Ben El-Baz, CEO of Hashkey Group, emphasized that Bitcoin's decentralization and resistance to inflation make it a powerful tool for diversifying the global financial system.
Despite these optimistic forecasts, analysts warn that the cryptocurrency markets may face sharp fluctuations in the short term, especially in derivatives markets, which could affect Bitcoin's immediate performance. Additionally, some countries have started studying the possibility of using Bitcoin as a reserve asset, reflecting its increasing role in the global financial system. In the end, experts advise potential investors to conduct thorough research before entering the market, as Bitcoin remains one of the most volatile assets in financial markets.
