In 2025, the prices of bitcoin and Ethereum will surpass $300,000 and $8,000, respectively. These projections appear in 10 crypto predictions for the year from HashKey Group.
According to the firm’s experts, the market capitalisation of digital assets will rise to $10trn.
Among 50,000 community participants of the newly launched L2 called HashKey Chain, this was deemed the most likely scenario among those presented.
Specialists also forecast broad adoption of AI agents, including meme-based ones, across DEXs to boost market share.
Analysts believe CEX will more often apply strategies native to decentralised finance to attract capital via high-yield investment products.
HashKey expects the total capitalisation of stablecoins to increase from the current $215bn to more than $300bn. The main driver will be rising interest in “yield” tokens backed by RWA.
Among other things:
- creation of a strategic bitcoin reserve in the US;
- passage of the FIT21 bill;
- approval of new ETFs based on XRP and SOL;
- relaunch of security tokens;
- an increase in crypto market capitalisation by $3bn thanks to ETFs and CBDCs;
- a split of the L2 landscape into two main categories: appchains and general-purpose ones;
- stocks of mining companies and blockchain infrastructure moving into the “hot” category;
- active listings of securities of “crypto-concept” companies.
According to HashKey Group CEO Dr Xiao Feng, 2025 marks the start of a “golden decade of Web3”.
“With regulatory compliance coming to the fore, capital inflows into TradFi increase and technological breakthroughs accelerate,” he explained.
In April 2024, HashKey launched the global crypto exchange HashKey Global. Earlier, the company received approval to operate from regulators in Japan and Singapore.
