VanEck sees $180,000 BTC peak ahead.

Investment firm VanEck expects a booming cryptocurrency market by 2025, predicting that Bitcoin will peak at $180,000, Ethereum will top $6,000, and Solana will top $500.

The company projects SUI to reach $10 during the upcoming altcoin season.

VanEck is Bullish on Bitcoin

The firm's Bitcoin forecast expects the asset to reach a peak in the middle of the first quarter, followed by a new all-time high in the fourth quarter. The analysis predicts a 30% drop in Bitcoin prices after the mid-term peak, while altcoins are experiencing major corrections of up to 60% in the summer consolidation.

However, a market recovery is expected by the end of 2025. Major cryptocurrencies may regain strength and reach all-time highs by the end of the year.

VanEick correlates this Bitcoin forecast with certain market indicators. Sustained high funding – where traders pay more than 10% premium for three months or more – indicates speculative market activity.

“Stablecoins are poised to revolutionize payments, expected to reach $300 billion by the end of 2025,” VanEyck said on X (formerly Twitter).

The firm also highlights excessive unrealized profits, indicating market optimism where a significant percentage of Bitcoin holders see a profit-to-expense ratio of 70% or more.

Meanwhile, VanEck is not the only firm to make such bleak predictions for the 2025 market. Bitwise also predicts that Bitcoin will reach $200,000 by the end of next year, while Pantera Capital predicts August at $180,000.

Global Push for Bitcoin Reserve

Donald Trump's return to the presidency has brought a significant boost to the crypto market. His administration's appointment of pro-crypto leaders has moved away from restrictive policies and recognized bitcoin as a strategic asset.

This includes efforts to end practices such as de-banking crypto companies and introduce a more supportive regulatory environment.

VanEyck predicts the establishment of bitcoin reserves by 2025, both by the federal government and by individual states. Among the candidates are Pennsylvania, Florida and Texas.

Pennsylvania recently proposed allocating 10% of state funds to Bitcoin to fight inflation and boost investment.

Similarly, Texas has introduced a law to create a Bitcoin reserve. Earlier this week, state Rep. Giovanni Capriglione pointed to sources of funding such as taxes, fees and donations.

This trend is not limited to America. Globally, other countries are exploring similar initiatives. The State Deputy in Russia has proposed a Bitcoin reserve to strengthen financial stability.

Meanwhile, Vancouver City Council in Canada has approved a Bitcoin reserve to hedge fiat currency volatility. The city's mayor, Ken Sim, has been strongly advocating the use of bitcoin as payment.

The increasing Bitcoin reserves indicate the growing role of cryptocurrency in diversifying financial strategies and reducing economic risks.
