The analytical firm identifies the main drivers of a potential 60% growth from current levels as:

• the expansion of institutional adoption, evidenced by steady investment inflows into spot BTC-ETFs;
• a favourable macroeconomic environment, driven by major central banks lowering key interest rates, stimulus measures in China, and an influx of liquidity into markets.

“As Bitcoin gains widespread recognition, it is poised to transition from a niche asset to a core component of global financial markets,” the experts assert.

They estimate that the first cryptocurrency could surpass the 8% threshold of global adoption in 2025. Historically, technologies like smartphones or social networks that have exceeded this boundary have experienced exponential growth, Matrixport analysts highlighted.

They also pointed to changes in the dynamics of the digital gold market:

“Unlike past cycles characterized by sharp 80% declines, the growing buyer base and institutional support reduce the likelihood of significant corrections.”

For these reasons, the inevitable consolidation phases in the asset, including the current one, will be shorter than before, the experts noted.

“The forecast for 2025 remains bullish. Bitcoin’s proven resilience, its role as an inflation hedge, and integration into institutional portfolios suggest a breakthrough year ahead,” they concluded.

Earlier, Tom Lee, co-founder of the analytical firm Fundstrat, predicted that Bitcoin would rise to $250,000 in 2025, citing a different set of factors from Matrixport.
