In the ever-changing world of cryptocurrencies, Bit remains the focus of market attention. Many investors and industry participants are curious about its future price trend, especially the price of Bit in 2025.
The following is a summary of Bit price forecasts for 2025 shared by leaders and industry experts from companies such as CoinShares, Galaxy Digital, Maple Finance, Matrixport, and Bernstein.
1. CoinShares: Range of $80,000 to $150,000
CoinShares' Head of Research James Butterfill believes that the price of Bit in 2025 could fluctuate between $80,000 and $150,000. He also pointed out that from a long-term perspective, Bit has the potential to reach $250,000, but this target will not be achieved by 2025. As for the lower limit of $80,000 he expects, Butterfill said that this would be the result of the failure to implement Trump's promised support for cryptocurrency policies, "Disappointment and skepticism about Trump's proposed crypto policies could lead to a major market correction."
2. Galaxy Digital: Break through $150,000 in the first half of the year, reach $185,000 by the end of the year
Galaxy Digital's Head of Research Alex Thorn predicts that Bit will break through $150,000 in the first half of this year and reach $185,000 in the fourth quarter, with Bit's market capitalization reaching 20% of gold. Thorn said, "Adoption by institutions, corporations, and nations will propel Bit to new heights in 2025. Since its inception, Bit has appreciated faster than any other asset class, especially the S&P 500 and gold, and this trend will continue in 2025. Bit will also reach 20% of gold's market value."
3. Standard Chartered Bank: Reach $200,000 by the end of the year
Standard Chartered Bank's Head of Digital Assets Research Geoffrey Kendrick said that the price of Bit will double. He also recently predicted that Bit will reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.
The bank pointed out that since the beginning of this year, institutions have been buying large amounts of Bit through the US spot Bit ETF and the "Bit whale" MicroStrategy, with a net purchase of 683,000 Bit. Of this, 245,000 Bit flowed in within a few weeks after the US election. It is expected that institutional capital inflows will continue to maintain or exceed the pace of Bit inflows in 2024, and MicroStrategy's Bit purchases should "reach or exceed the 2024 purchase volume".
4. Maple Finance: Range of $180,000 to $200,000
Maple Finance co-founder and CEO Sid Powell's target is for the price of Bit to be between $180,000 and $200,000 by the end of 2025.
Powell said, "Historically, when gold ETFs entered the market, the inflow of funds increased sharply in the years following the first year - I think we can expect the same thing to happen with Bit ETFs." He also added, "I think as Bit and cryptocurrencies become core asset allocations for institutional asset managers, we'll see more inflows in the coming years."
However, Powell remains cautious about corrections in the crypto market, as in previous market cycles, Bit has seen sharp increases in value over a few months, followed by a sharp drop in value. He pointed out that "cryptocurrencies are still a cyclical industry."
5. Nexo: Double in a year, reach $250,000
Nexo's Chief Product Officer Elitsa Taskova believes that Bit will more than double in a year, reaching $250,000, and in the long run, the market capitalization of the entire crypto market will exceed that of gold.
Taskova said, "We expect Bit to more than double in a year, reaching $250,000." She added that in the long run, for example over the next ten years, she believes the market capitalization of the entire crypto market will exceed that of gold.
"These forecasts are consistent with current trends and social signals: people are increasingly recognizing Bit as a store of value, more Bit and crypto-related exchange-traded products (ETPs) will be more widely adopted," she added, supportive macroeconomic conditions, such as the world's major central banks easing monetary policy, will also boost Bit, "as the US is at the forefront of crypto-asset capital deployment, interest rate decisions and inflation dynamics may still be key drivers of Bit prices in 2025."
6. Matrixport: Reach $160,000
Crypto financial services company Matrixport says Bit could reach $160,000 in 2025. "Sustained demand for Bit ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and expanding global liquidity all support this prospect," said Matrixport's Head of Research Markus Thielen.
7. Professor Carol Alexander of the University of Sussex: Range of $150,000 to $200,000
Professor of Finance at the University of Sussex Carol Alexander believes that the price of Bit could reach $200,000 next year, and by the summer of 2025, its trading price will be around $150,000, fluctuating by $50,000 up or down.
"I'm more bullish than ever on 2025," Alexander said. "Bit's price could easily reach $200,000, but there's no sign of volatility diminishing." "By the summer of 2025, I expect it to be trading around $150,000, fluctuating by $50,000 up or down." Alexander said that supportive regulation in the US will boost Bit, but due to high leverage trading, Bit prices will be highly volatile. Alexander has accurately predicted Bit's price on multiple occasions. Last year, she guessed that Bit would reach $100,000 by 2024, and that's exactly what happened.
8. Nano Labs founder Jack Kong: Optimistic forecast of Bit reaching $300,000 in 2025
Nano Labs (Nasdaq:NA) founder Jack Kong has publicly stated that in 2025, the conservative estimate is that Bit will exceed $150,000, and the optimistic estimate is that it can reach $300,000. In the long run, the probability of Bit exceeding gold or reaching over $1 million is high. Compared to gold, Bit has stronger network effects and liquidity, as well as technological attributes, making it the best anchor currency for the digital age and the age of artificial intelligence!
Jack Kong had publicly estimated in 2019 when Bit was around $4,000 that it would exceed $100,000 within five years.
9. Bit Mining: Range of $180,000 to $190,000
Bit Mining's Chief Economist Yang Youwei predicts that by 2025, the price of Bit will reach between $180,000 and $190,000, but he is also cautious about the possibility of price corrections. "The price of Bit in 2025 may see a significant upward trend, but there may also be significant corrections. During market volatility, such as a major stock market crash, Bit may temporarily drop to around $80,000. However, the overall trend is expected to remain bullish." He said that the factors driving the rise of Bit in 2025 include lower interest rates, Trump's support, and increased institutional adoption. Downside risks include US-China tensions, global capital market turmoil, potential unexpected restrictive measures, and the possibility of the Fed's rate cut cycle being delayed.
10. Bernstein: Will reach $200,000
Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein point out thatmultiple catalysts could drive the price of Bit to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.
In a recent report, Bernstein analysts led by Gautam Chhugani pointed out that the market is entering a stage that may challenge Bit skeptics. The company initially set a target of $200,000 in June when Bit was around $66,000. They believe that institutional demand and potential regulatory changes will support this growth. The key to this bullish outlook is the expectation that Bit advocates will be appointed to influential positions in the U.S. government. Potential candidates include Bit proponents such as Howard Lutnick, CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, and investor Scott Bessent. The analysts said that regardless of the specific candidates, the market is likely to remain optimistic.
Another important factor is the potential establishment of a national Bit reserve, which was a promise made by Trump during the campaign. Senator Cynthia Lummis has introduced a draft bill aimed at acquiring 5% of the total Bit supply over the next five years, which could amount to nearly $100 billion at current prices.
Furthermore, Bernstein emphasized the growing demand for Bit exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the large-scale purchase plans of companies like MicroStrategy, which plans to raise $42 billion over the next three years for Bit acquisitions.
11. Arthur Hayes: Reaching $250,000 by year-end
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes made bold predictions about Bit and the crypto market. He discussed the potential scenarios we may see in the next 12 months, considering the changes in Trump's policies and the global economy. Arthur Hayes said that nationalist economic policies are not unique to the U.S., as countries like China and Japan also focus on domestic economic growth. He believes that this trend, as people seek decentralized assets rather than globalization, may create a favorable environment for Bit.
He predicted that with the growing institutional interest and the influx of capital from the traditional financial sector, the price of Bit could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.
12. VanEck: Reaching $180,000 by year-end
VanEck, in its latestreport, predicted that Bit will reach $180,000. The report states that the crypto bull market will reach a mid-term peak in the first quarter of 2025 and set a new high in the fourth quarter. Bit is expected to be valued around $180,000, Ethereum's trading price will exceed $6,000, Solana will exceed $500, and Sui will exceed $10.
13. K33 Research: May peak in mid-January, reaching up to $212,500
Research firm K33 calculated that Bit may reach its cycle peak in mid-January, just before Trump's inauguration (January 20th), based on the historical data of crypto prices exhibiting a 318-day cycle, which the company sees as a "natural area to reduce risk and realize short-term profits." If history is any guide, Bit could set a new high in a matter of weeks, providing an opportunity to lock in gains.
K33 used two methods to predict Bit's price, based on past cycle peaks potentially reaching $146,000, and based on market capitalization growth, potentially reaching $212,500. However, K33 research chief Vetle Lunde noted that the market may be overestimating the impact of the new government's crypto-friendly policies, and the rally may peak before the inauguration in mid-January.
14. Bitwise Investments: Price will be above $200,000
Bitwise Asset Management released a report in December 2024 written by Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan and Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen, outlining10 crypto predictions for the year ahead.
This includes all major cryptocurrencies reaching new highs, with Bit reaching $200,000, Ethereum reaching $7,000, and Solana growing more than twice to $750. The rise in Bit will be driven by greater ETF inflows in 2025, as large diversified companies have just completed due diligence on products, and investors are more comfortable increasing their investments, and it is not uncommon for ETFs to attract more assets in their second year than their first.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor may no longer be hostile to the industry, which could lead to billions of dollars flowing from 401(k) plans into crypto assets. The potential Bit arms race sparked by politicians' plans to establish strategic Bit reserves is also expected to help drive up Bit prices, with the number of countries holding Bit expected to increase from 9 to 18 by 2025.
15. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki: Predicts it will reach $350,000 again
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," has long been a Bit bull, touting Bit as a viable alternative to fiat currency.
He hadpredicted in June last year that the Bit price would reach $350,000 by August 2024. He had also endorsed Ark Invest's long-term price prediction of $2.3 million for Bit earlier last year. Recently, heposted on the X platform reiterating his bullish stance on Bit, stating that Bit has the potential to serve as a store of value and hedge against economic instability. He encouraged his followers to prioritize Bit and keep it in their personal wallets rather than entrusting it to institutional products.
Kiyosaki further claimed that major financial institutions, including BlackRock, are suppressing the Bit price to allow large investors to accumulate funds at lower prices. Despite these alleged manipulative practices, he remains confident in Bit's future, predicting that the Bit price will surge significantly to $350,000 by 2025.
