3 Trends to Follow in 2025 — TradingView News

2024 has already been a great year for the cryptocurrency market. Thanks to several positive trends, the price of Bitcoin has doubled. Many major and emerging altcoins have seen higher levels of price appreciation.

As 2025 begins, there may be concern that, in the wake of this latest wave of upside, a slowdown in enthusiasm – and with it a slowdown or reversal in cryptocurrency prices – is just around the corner.

But while this asset class is likely to remain highly volatile, a “crypto slowdown” in 2025 is not inevitable. In fact, given three trends that are poised to either continue or take shape in the coming year, it could lead to a further rise.

By monitoring these trends, cryptocurrency investors, from those with HODL experience to those just starting out, may be able to gauge where the cryptocurrency market is headed over the next 12 months.

Flows of institutional and retail investors into cryptocurrency investment products

During 2024, a huge amount of institutional and retail investor capital has entered the cryptocurrency space. Many factors played a role in this, but one important factor was regulatory approval and the launch of Bitcoin spot trading funds (ETFs) in the United States.

ETFs and other exchange-traded products (ETPs) have attracted interest from both types of investors, likely because these products provide a convenient and straightforward way to add Bitcoin exposure to a diversified portfolio. In 2024, these products attracted investor inflows totaling $44.2 billion.

Inflows could remain strong until 2025, putting additional upward pressure on the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, due to the continuous increase in options for cryptocurrency investment products. Second, with investment firms like BlackRock now recommending investors allocate up to 2% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, individual and institutional investors can shift a larger portion of their capital into cryptocurrency investment products.

Binance CEO Richard Ting shares his views on the cryptocurrency market trends from 2024 to 2025, saying: “In terms of institutional interest, financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity have entered the cryptocurrency space in 2024, and we expect to see more players Newbies Next year more companies are learning about cryptocurrencies and incorporating crypto features like tokenization into their businesses and this is a trend that has been growing for years and we expect to see it continue Teng explains: “Given the pro-crypto government scheduled to arrive in January 2025, and the recent filings of new ETFs by existing issuers, we are likely to see more ETFs approved in the coming year. This will attract more institutional investors as cryptocurrencies become a larger part of the traditional market.

Regulatory clarity

In recent years, enforcement actions by federal securities regulators in the United States have led to a high degree of regulatory uncertainty when it comes to cryptocurrencies. However, there are big changes on the horizon. Expectations are high that the next US presidential administration will bring “regulatory clarity,” which could also serve as a positive catalyst for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies during 2025.

With this in mind, it makes sense that Bitcoin would rise after the US presidential election last November, from less than $75,000 on Election Day, to as high as $108,135 in late December. Trump’s post-election “trade” with cryptocurrencies has declined recently. However, it is possible that there will be a rebound in this trade in the coming months.

For example, if the new administration quickly issues pro-crypto executive orders, this could have a positive impact on the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. On top of expectations that the incoming Trump administration will bring about further changes in pro-crypto policies, other crypto-related policies that President-elect Trump promoted during his election campaign, such as launching a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the United States, will likely have a positive impact as well. . Impact on the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

The continued adoption of Bitcoin as an alternative to the US dollar

The two trends mentioned above were key to the crypto bull run in 2024. Only time will tell, but each of them could help drive a sustained bull market for cryptocurrencies in 2025. However, on top of these current trends, there is another trend is emerging, a trend that will have a positive impact on the prices of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. This would be tantamount to adopting Bitcoin as an alternative to the US dollar by countries around the world.

Russia has begun using Bitcoin in foreign trade, as part of efforts to circumvent Western economic sanctions. Russia and other members of the intergovernmental organization BRICS have held talks about developing a new digital reserve currency. The United States may have only just begun to discuss building a strategic reserve of Bitcoin, but other central banks have already begun to do so.

According to analysts at Fidelity, this trend is expected to accelerate in 2025. As a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation, more countries could start hoarding Bitcoin. This indicates more capital flows into this asset class, which in turn may help fuel price appreciation.
