Jianing Wu, associate professor of the Galaxy Research research team, made an optimistic prediction five countries are expected to adopt Bitcoin by 2025.
Additionally, she believes that five other companies listed on the Nasdaq 100 could adopt the technology bitcoin for his reserves, because he believes in an expansion of large institutional adoption starting as early as 2024.
“Five Nasdaq 100 companies and five nation states will announce they have added Bitcoin to their balance sheets or sovereign wealth funds. Whether for strategic, portfolio diversification, or trade settlement reasons, Bitcoin will find a home on the balance sheets of major corporations and state allocators. Competition between nation states, especially non-aligned countries, countries with large sovereign wealth funds, or even adversaries of the United States, will drive the adoption of Bitcoin mining or acquisition strategies.“, says researcher Jianing Wu.
Among many predictions for bitcoin for the year 2025this is one of the most optimistic in terms of adoption by countries.
Galaxy researchers point out key predictions for bitcoin and altcoins in 2025
Galaxy has released a compilation of 23 predictions for bitcoin and altcoins for 2025, made by associated researchers. In the material that has become available since Tuesday (31/12), they highlighted the election of Donald Trump and the introduction of ETFs in the United States as the main points of 2024.
And another optimistic prediction for the market was made by analyst Alex Thorn, who believes that companies will start recommending the purchase of bitcoin from 2025. “At least one major wealth management platform will announce a recommended Bitcoin allocation of 2% or more. For a variety of reasons, including maturation periods, internal education, compliance requirements and more, no major asset manager or investment manager has officially added a Bitcoin allocation recommendation to their advised investment model portfolios. This will change in 2025, and this will further increase the flows and assets under management of US spot-based Bitcoin ETPs.”
Gabe Parker, on the other hand, believes that this year will see one of the biggest updates to the bitcoin code in recent years. The researcher analyzed developer support in December 2024 for updates OP_CTV (BIP 119) and OP_CAT (BIP 347), which could arrive in 2025.
Tether will lose control of the stablecoin market, says expert
One of the predictions that could impact the market concerns the issuer of the largest stablecoin on the market, Tether, which is responsible for USDT.
According to Charles Yu, the company’s long-standing dominance will decline by 2025 as new options will enter the market, including from large companies.
“Tether’s long-standing market dominance will fall below 50%, challenged by return alternatives such as Blackrock’s BUIDL, Ethena’s USDe and even USDC Rewards paid by Coinbase/Circle. As Tether internalizes returns from USDT reserves to fund portfolio investments, marketing spend by stablecoin issuers/pass-through revenue protocols will drive existing users away from Tether and onboard new users to their yield solutions. USDC rewards paid into users’ Coinbase Exchange and Wallet balances will be a powerful hook that will propel the entire DeFi sector forward and can be integrated by fintechs to enable new business models. In response, Tether will begin passing collateral income to USDT holders and may even offer a new competitive yield product as a delta-neutral stablecoin.”
Still at the beginning, 2025 remains one of the years that could go down in the history of bitcoin, a coin that has already shown its strength in recent periods, with great appreciation.
