The bull race continues. Bitfinex predicts a Bitcoin price of $200,000 in 2025 ⋆ ZyCrypto

Digital asset exchange Bitfinex has predicted a significant rise in the price of Bitcoin (BTC) in 2025. Crypto bulls and market participants are highly anticipating a rally next year, citing macro factors and increased institutional appetite. Most users also point to the US’s preferred catalyst as the biggest driver next year.

A new report from Bitfinex on the cryptocurrency market forecast for 2025 indicates that Bitcoin’s bullish price will reach $200,000. The stock exchange highlights institutional demand as a key measure of price movement. This year, institutional flows reached new highs with the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. To date, these funds have attracted more than $37 billion, with expectations rising in 2025.

According to the report, cycle indicators such as market value to realized value (MVRV) and net unrealized profit/loss (NUPL) show that the upward cycle is still ongoing. However, like previous cycles, giant tops may not be expected in the short term. However, bulls expect a reasonable jump in prices next year between $150,000 to $200,000.

The stock exchange indicates a minimum price estimate of $145,000 in June which could extend to $200,000 on the back of favorable conditions.

The market expects a rise after the first half of the year

Traditionally, Bitcoin prices have risen after each halving, with significant gains recorded the following year. This bullish scenario in the first quarter of 2024, ahead of the halving, led miners to reorganize their holdings. Next year, market participants expect the impact to fluctuate alongside a full tightening of global financial conditions.

Furthermore, inflationary trends are expected to attract more users to Bitcoin as a store of value to protect assets. This has been a recurring macro trend over the past 12 months.

“Inflation remains the main focus, with core CPI unchanged at 3.3% year-on-year reflecting continued pressure in car and durable goods prices. The Fed’s restrictive stance, despite planned interest rate cuts, underscores the difficulty of achieving the 2% inflation target. Strong economic growth, including an expected annual rate of 3.8% in the fourth quarter, supports cautious monetary easing but leaves room for recalibration if inflation persists.

Finally, the market expects positive cryptocurrency regulations in the US to influence shaping global sentiment. This is expected to attract more institutional investors, pushing Bitcoin prices to all-time highs. The cryptocurrency leader’s price rose above $107,000 before making minor corrections due to volatility. Likewise, whales recorded large accumulations indicating their long-term holdings.
