VanEck predicts Bitcoin could reach $180,000 by the end of 2025, with Ethereum exceeding $6,000, Solana surpassing $500, and Sui over $10. The firm anticipates a crypto bull market peak in Q1 2025 and increased U.S. adoption of Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. Expected SEC leadership changes may lead to approvals for various spot crypto exchange-traded products, including Ethereum ETPs. Tokenized securities are projected to exceed $50 billion, driven by growth in permissioned chains and bridging efforts between public and private blockchains. Stablecoins are expected to triple daily settlement volumes to $300 billion by 2025. DeFi is forecasted to reach all-time highs, with DEX volumes hitting $4 trillion and total value locked in DeFi rising to $200 billion. The NFT market is predicted to rebound to $30 billion in trading volumes. Layer-1 tokens outperformed dApp tokens in 2024, but innovative dApps are expected to shift performance dynamics.
