Coinbase: $BTC Uptrend to Continue — 3 Key Crypto Themes for H2 2025

On June 13, Coinbase released a market outlook report highlighting three major crypto themes for the second half of 2025:

Improved Macroeconomic Outlook 🏦

Lower risk of U.S. recession

Strengthened growth momentum

Corporate Crypto Adoption 💼

Firms increasingly using crypto for asset allocation

Boosts short-term demand, though long-term risks remain

Greater Regulatory Clarity

Progress on stablecoin rules and broader crypto market legislation

Expected to drive development and investor confidence

Coinbase expects $BTC to maintain its upward trend, while altcoin performance will likely depend on case-specific developments. Notably, the SEC is reviewing multiple ETF applications, including those for staking, mixed funds, and single-altcoin products — decisions due by the end of 2025 could significantly reshape the market.
