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 the 2025 Bit price forecasts shared by leaders and industry experts from companies such as CoinShares, Galaxy Digital, Maple Finance, Matrixport, and Bemstein.
1. CoinShares: Range of $80,000 to $150,000
James Butterfill, the research head at CoinShares, believes that the price of Bit in 2025 may fluctuate between $80,000 and $150,000. He also pointed out that from a long-term perspective, Bit has the potential to reach a price of $250,000, but this target will not be achieved by 2025. As for the $80,000 lower limit 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 the crypto policies proposed by Trump could lead to a major market adjustment."
2. Galaxy Digital: Surpassing $150,000 in the first half, reaching $185,000 by the end of the year
Alex Thorn, the research head at Galaxy Digital, expects Bit to 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 push 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: Reaching $200,000 by the end of the year
Geoffrey Kendrick, the head of digital asset research at Standard Chartered Bank, said that the price of Bit will double. He also predicted in a recent report 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 were invested in the weeks following 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
Sid Powell, the co-founder and CEO of Maple Finance, aims for Bit's price 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 for Bit ETFs." He also added, "I believe that as Bit and cryptocurrencies become core asset allocations for institutional asset managers, we will see more capital inflows in the coming years."
Nevertheless, Powell remains cautious about the crypto market's corrections, as in previous market cycles, Bit has experienced sharp price increases followed by steep declines within a few months. He pointed out that "cryptocurrencies are still a cyclical industry."
5. Nexo: Doubling in a year, reaching $250,000
Elitsa Taskova, the Chief Product Officer of Nexo, believes that Bit will more than double in a year, reaching $250,000, and in the long run, the entire crypto market capitalization 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, in the next ten years, she believes the entire crypto market capitalization 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: Reaching $160,000
Crypto financial services company Matrixport said Bit could reach $160,000 in 2025. "Sustained demand for Bit ETFs, favorable macroeconomic trends, and expanding global liquidity all support this prospect," said Markus Thielen, the head of research at Matrixport.
7. Professor Carol Alexander of the University of Sussex: Range of $150,000 to $200,000
Carol Alexander, a professor of finance at the University of Sussex, believes Bit's price 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 on 2025 than ever before," Alexander said. "Bit's price can 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 indeed happened.
8. Jack Kong, Founder of Nano Labs: Optimistic forecast of Bit reaching $300,000 in 2025
Jack Kong, the founder of Nano Labs (Nasdaq:NA), has publicly stated that in 2025, the conservative forecast for Bit is over $150,000, and the optimistic forecast is $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 Bit would exceed $100,000 within five years.
9. Bit Mining: Range of $180,000 to $190,000
Yang Youwei, the chief economist of Bit Mining, 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. "Bit's price 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 could temporarily drop to around $80,000. However, the overall trend is expected to remain bullish." He stated that the factors driving Bit's rise 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 a delayed Federal Reserve rate cut cycle.
10. Bernstein: Reaching $200,000
Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein point out that multiple catalysts could drive Bit's price to reach $200,000 by the end of 2025.
In a recent report led by Gautam Chhugani, Bernstein analysts noted that the market is entering a stage that may challenge Bit skeptics. The firm initially set a $200,000 target in June when Bit was priced 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 pro-crypto candidates will be appointed to influential positions in the US government. Potential candidates include Bit advocates such as Howard Lutnick, the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, and investor Scott Bessent. The analysts stated that regardless of the specific candidates, the market is likely to remain optimistic.
Another important factor is the possible establishment of a national Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin supply over the next five years, which at current prices could amount to nearly $100 billion.
Furthermore, Bernstein emphasized the growing demand for Bitcoin 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 Bitcoin acquisitions.
11. Arthur Hayes: $250,000 by the end of the year
Former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes made bold predictions about Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency 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 stated that nationalist economic policies are not unique to the US, 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 Bitcoin.
He predicted that with the growing institutional interest and the influx of capital from the traditional financial sector, the price of Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025.
12. VanEck: $180,000 by the end of the year
VanEck, in its latest report, forecasts that Bitcoin will reach $180,000. The report states that the cryptocurrency bull market will reach a mid-term peak in the first quarter of 2025 and set a new high in the fourth quarter. The value of Bitcoin is expected to be around $180,000, Ethereum's trading price will exceed $6,000, Solana will exceed $500, and Sui will exceed $10.
13. K33 Research: May reach peak in mid-January, up to $212,500
Research firm K33 calculates that Bitcoin may reach its cycle peak in mid-January, just before Trump's inauguration (January 20th), based on the historical data of cryptocurrency 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, Bitcoin could set a new high in a matter of weeks, providing an opportunity to lock in gains.
K33 uses two methods to predict Bitcoin'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 points out 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, in a report released in December 2024 written by Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan and Head of Research Ryan Rasmussen, listed 10 crypto predictions for the coming year.
This includes all major cryptocurrencies reaching new highs, with Bitcoin rising to $200,000, Ethereum reaching $7,000, and Solana growing more than twice to $750. The Bitcoin rally will be driven by greater ETF inflows in 2025, as large diversified companies have just completed product due diligence, and investors are more comfortable increasing their investments, and it is not uncommon for ETFs to attract more capital in their second year than the first.
Additionally, the US Department of Labor may no longer be hostile to the industry, which could see hundreds of billions of dollars flow from 401(k) plans into crypto assets. The potential Bitcoin arms race sparked by politicians' plans to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves will also help drive up Bitcoin's price, with the number of countries holding Bitcoin expected to increase from 9 to 18 by 2025.
15. Rich Dad Robert Kiyosaki: Predicts $350,000 again
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," has long been a Bitcoin bull, touting Bitcoin as an alternative to fiat currency.
He had predicted in June last year that Bitcoin's price would reach $350,000 by August 2024. He had also earlier this year endorsed Ark Invest's long-term price prediction of $2.3 million for Bitcoin. Recently, he has reiterated his bullish stance on Bitcoin on the X platform, stating that Bitcoin has the potential to serve as a store of value and hedge against economic instability. He encourages his followers to prioritize Bitcoin and hold it in their private wallets rather than entrusting it to institutional products.
Kiyosaki further claimed that major financial institutions, including BlackRock, are suppressing Bitcoin's price to allow large investors to accumulate funds at lower prices. Despite these alleged manipulative practices, he remains confident in Bitcoin's future, predicting that its price will surge significantly to $350,000 by 2025.
