VanEck Forecasts $180,000 Bitcoin, $6,000 Ethereum, and US Strategic Reserve in 2025

VanEck, a $118 billion asset management firm, has forecasted significant developments for the cryptocurrency market in 2025, predicting a dual-peaked bull market with Bitcoin reaching $180,000 and Ethereum climbing to $6,000 in the first quarter. The firm anticipates a mid-year consolidation followed by a recovery in the fourth quarter, pushing both assets to new highs. VanEck also projects that Solana (SOL) and Sui will exceed $500 and $10, respectively. The report suggests that under a Trump administration, the U.S. could adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset, with states like Texas and Florida potentially establishing their own Bitcoin holdings. Regulatory clarity is expected to attract more developers to the U.S., increasing its share of global crypto talent from 19% to 25% and mining hash rate to 35%. Additionally, VanEck predicts a 43% increase in corporate Bitcoin holdings, with publicly listed companies surpassing 1.1 million BTC. The firm also foresees a revival in the NFT market, with trading volumes reaching $30 billion, driven by cultural significance and innovative projects.
