In the past year, the crypto market experienced a recovery and surpassed the price predictions for Bitcoin (BTC). Bitwise predicts that BTC will rally to $200,000 in 2025, with new all-time highs for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). The effects of BTC were felt throughout the market, confirming that ETH had no chance of becoming the top asset. VanEck's predictions for NFTs and Binance losing its top position were not fulfilled. Binance actually became a staple for the bull market in 2024. Altcoins did not have a prolonged market, but there was diversity in the DeFi space. BTC reached a high of $108,000 in November and December. Stablecoins and their increased supply were successful predictions, with the supply expected to double to 400 billion. Various predictions for BTC prices ranged from $70,000 to $1 million, with some hitting the mark. The overall optimism for BTC was boosted despite the predictions not being fully fulfilled. A halving event occurred, but the price did not reach a new range. VanEck remained optimistic about DeFi, expecting the total value locked to exceed $200 billion. They also predicted the return of speculative hype and cultural relevance for NFTs in 2025. Bitwise predicts that the BTC bull market will lead to smaller booms and new trends, including increased institutional adoption and crypto IPOs. AI agents are also expected to play a big role in integrating social media AI bots, SocialFi, and Web3 apps.
