The research arm of Galaxy Digital is revealing its predictions for the two largest crypto assets in 2025. In a new thread on the social media platform X, Galaxy Research’s Alex Thorn says he sees Bitcoin ( BTC ) surging by nearly 100% from current levels before 2025 expires amid increasing adoption of the largest digital asset by market cap. “Bitcoin will cross $150,000 in H1 and test or best $185,000 in Q4 2025. A combination of institutional, corporate, and nation-state adoption will propel Bitcoin to new heights in 2025. Throughout its existence, Bitcoin has appreciated faster than all other asset classes, particularly the S&P 500 and gold, and that trend will continue in 2025. Bitcoin will also reach 20% of gold’s market cap.” Source: Galaxy Research/X Thorn also believes that Bitcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) will witness tens of billions of dollars in inflows next year. “The US spot Bitcoin ETPs will collectively cross $250 billion in AUM (assets under management) in 2025. In 2024, the Bitcoin ETPs collectively took in more than $36 billion in net inflows, making them the best ETP launch as a cohort in history. Many of the world’s major hedge funds bought the Bitcoin ETPs, including Millennium, Tudor, and D.E. Shaw, while the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB) bought a position, according to 13F filings. After just 1 year, the Bitcoin ETPs are only 19% away ($24 billion) from flipping the AUM of all the US physical gold ETPs.” Data from crypto analytics firm Coinglass shows that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) collectively have nearly $110 billion in AUM. At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $93,687. Looking at Ethereum ( ETH ), Thorn predicts that the leading layer-1 protocol will see fresh all-time highs next year. “Ether will trade above $5,500 in 2025. A relaxation of regulatory headwinds for DeFi (decentralized finance) and staking will propel Ether to new all-time highs in 2025. New partnerships between DeFi and TradFi (traditional finance), perhaps conducted inside new regulatory sandbox environments, will finally allow traditional capital markets to experiment with public blockchains in earnest, with Ethereum and its ecosystem seeing the lion’s share of use. Corporations will increasingly experiment with their own layer-2 networks, mostly based on Ethereum technology. Some games utilizing public blockchains will find product-market fit, and NFT (non-fungible token) trading volumes will meaningfully rebound.” At time of writing, ETH is trading at $3,420.
