2025 will be crypto’s best year ever — Steno Research

As a seasoned researcher with over two decades of experience in the financial markets, I have seen my fair share of bull and bear runs. However, the forecast for 2025 presented by Steno Research has piqued my interest in a way that few predictions have before.

Having closely observed the evolution of Bitcoin since its inception and the rise of Ethereum as a formidable competitor, I find their price projections for 2025 to be remarkably optimistic yet plausible. The favorable regulatory environment, supportive macroeconomic climate, and institutional adoption are factors that align with my own observations and analysis.

The expected altcoin season intrigues me the most. As someone who has tracked the cryptocurrency market’s dynamics for years, I can attest to the cyclical nature of altcoins gaining traction following a Bitcoin rally. The potential drop in Bitcoin dominance is an interesting development that could signal a broader shift in the market landscape.

The argument that Trump’s presidency could be more favorable for altcoins than for Bitcoin is thought-provoking, especially considering his pro-business stance and potential impact on onchain activity. It’s worth noting that even if this were the case, Bitcoin would still maintain its position as the digital gold standard, ensuring its continued relevance in the market.

Lastly, the prediction of total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications surpassing 2021’s highs is a bold one, but given the rapid pace of innovation and adoption, it’s not entirely unreasonable.

As for my personal stance, I must admit that I find myself leaning towards the bullish side when it comes to 2025. But as they say in our business, past performance is no guarantee of future results. So, let’s wait and see if the market delivers on these predictions!

And now for a little humor to lighten things up: If Bitcoin reaches $150,000 by 2025, I might just have to retire early—to the moon!

2025 is predicted by Steno Research to be an exceptional year for the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) surpassing their previous highest values, along with several other notable favorable events that may occur.

Steno Research anticipates that the market value of Bitcoin (BTC) will exceed $150,000 and Ethereum (ETH) will reach $8,000. Furthermore, their analysts express growing optimism about an approaching altcoin boom, as suggested in their December report.

As an analyst, I find myself in a position where I’m highlighting a remarkably advantageous regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies, coupled with a macroeconomic context that’s favorable due to decreasing interest rates and enhanced liquidity. Additionally, it’s important to note the traditionally robust performance following the Bitcoin halving event, which strengthens my bullish BTC and ETH price projections.

Additionally, it’s anticipated that institutional adoption will hit unprecedented heights, with a strong push coming from substantial investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) based in the United States.

As a researcher, I anticipate that Bitcoin and Ethereum Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) will witness substantial inflow of approximately $48 billion for Bitcoin ETFs and around $28.5 billion for Ethereum ETFs in the year 2025.

Altcoin season

2025 seems promising for Ethereum as it’s predicted to surpass Bitcoin substantially, Steno stated. He anticipates that the value of Ethereum relative to Bitcoin (ETH/BTC ratio) will reach at least 0.06, which is almost twice its current value around 0.035, according to TradingView’s data.

2025 is expected to witness an expanded era for various types of cryptocurrencies, often referred to as “altcoins”. The report predicts that the influence of Bitcoin will decrease, with its dominance falling from approximately 57% to around 45%.

Bitcoin dominance measures BTC’s percentage of crypto’s total market capitalization. 

According to Steno, his prediction leans towards the idea that Donald Trump’s win as the U.S. President could potentially be better for altcoins compared to Bitcoin.

According to Steno, Trump’s presidency seems to stimulate increased transactions on the blockchain, which positively impacts altcoins like Ethereum and Solana.

According to a recent report, it’s predicted that the total value locked (TVL) in decentralized applications will exceed $300 billion by the year 2025, significantly surpassing the record high of around $180 billion reached in 2021.

Trump pump

Other entities, such as asset manager Grayscale, share this optimistic viewpoint. In December, Grayscale has incorporated several Decentralized Finance (DeFi) applications, with two based on Solana (SOL), into their list of the top 20 tokens to monitor in the first quarter of 2025.

Grayscale identified a favorable U.S. policy climate, particularly under the Trump administration, as a significant factor. Trump intends to place business-oriented figures in charge of crucial regulatory bodies and position the U.S. as a global leader in cryptocurrency.

Raj Brahmbhatt, CEO of Zeebu, a U.S.-based web3 settlement firm, expressed strong optimism to CryptoMoon in December, stating that with Trump’s election win, he is confidently predicting the United States will take the lead globally in space matters by the end of the year.
