Asset manager VanEck gives a notable crypto outlook for 2025, addressing topics such as Bitcoin and Ethereum’s peak price and the US Bitcoin reserves.
In a recently published report, VanEck provided next year’s top ten crypto forecasts. The assertions mentioned Bitcoin’s trend in the first quarter of the year and its cycle peak price.
Steep Correction Before Hitting $180,000
VanEck stated that BTC will hit a cycle high of $180,000 next year. The Bitcoin ETF issuer speculated a spillover of the current market’s bullish momentum to Q1 2025 before a steep correction.
Notably, VanEck expects a surge to its first peak price in the first quarter of the year, followed by a 30% drop, driving altcoins down 60%. The firm mentioned indicators of the massive correction, including high funding rates, excessive unrealized profits, and mainstream speculation.
However, the asset manager speculated that Bitcoin would rebound in the last quarter of the year, hitting $180,000. Furthermore, other notable assets like Ethereum, Solana, and SUI will respectively peak at $6,000, $500, and $10 in the same quarter.
US to Create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
Meanwhile, VanEck predicted that the US Bitcoin reserve agenda would actually be a reality. Per the report, the federal government or states like Pennsylvania and Texas will establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
The leading asset manager asserted that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), under new boss Paul Atkins, will approve more crypto ETPs. Furthermore, the SEC or Congress would repeal the SAB 121 law, allowing US banks to offer crypto custody services.
Other Notable Crypto Forecast
Notably, VanEck also provided other interesting outlooks for next year. For instance, it speculated that asset tokenization will thrive in 2025, surpassing the $50 billion valuation.
The spot ETF issuer mentioned that stablecoins and AI agents will blossom next year. Per the report, daily stablecoin settlement volume will exceed $300 billion, while AI agent on-chain presence will surpass 1 million agents in 2025.
Meanwhile, VanEck’s 2025 Bitcoin prediction falls below that of asset manager Bitwise. In an earlier report, Bitwise speculated that Bitcoin would reach $200,000 next year, with Ethereum and Solana hitting $7,000 and $750, respectively.
However, VanEck’s predictions fall within the range of market intelligence firm IntoTheBlock. The analytical firm noted that a surge between $130,000 and $190,000 is a reasonable expectation but insisted it could go higher if the US Treasury reserve bill passes.
