Bitcoin and altcoins have faced many challenging obstacles such as US President Donald Trump’s tariff policy in 2025. However, rally expectations for BTC and altcoins remain alive. At this point, Bitwise announced its expectations for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) for 2025. According to The Block, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan updated their 10 predictions for 2025 in a note to their customers. Hougan first stated that there was no change in his Bitcoin prediction and that they maintained their $200,000 target for BTC. While Bitwise expects BTC to reach new highs and eventually $200,000 by the end of 2025, the same has not been true for ETH and SOL. “We remain true to our $200,000 BTC forecast as we expect institutional demand for BTC to be greater from 2024, further driving the BTC price higher. However, we are less confident that Ethereum and Solana will rally and reach new ATHs. However, we expect that the increasing interest in stablecoins, ETF approvals, and the emergence of ETH and SOL treasury companies could push prices significantly higher.” Bitwise announced that in its predictions at the beginning of the year, they set a target of $7,000 for Ethereum and $750 for Solana. Current Status of Predictions! Bitwise CIO listed the latest status of their predictions at the beginning of 2025 as follows: “Prediction 1: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana are expected to reach new all-time highs and Bitcoin is expected to trade above $200,000. – Still valid for Bitcoin but some hesitations for ETH and SOL. Prediction 2: Bitcoin ETFs will attract more inflows in 2025 than in 2024. – Still valid. Prediction 3: Coinbase will surpass Charles Schwab as the world's most valuable brokerage firm, with its stock price exceeding $700.- It seems unlikely. Prediction #4: 2025 will be the “Year of the Crypto IPO” with at least five crypto unicorns going public in the US – Still valid. Prediction #5: AI-driven token launches will lead to a bigger memecoin craze than in 2024. -Very Low Probability given. Prediction #6: Number of countries with Bitcoin will increase from 9 to 18. -Update: Unlikely. Prediction 7: Coinbase will enter the S&P 500 and MicroStrategy will enter the Nasdaq-100, thus providing cryptocurrency inflow to the portfolio of (almost) every US investor.- It came true. Prediction #8: The U.S. Department of Labor will loosen its guidance against crypto in 401(k) plans, sending billions of dollars into crypto assets.- Come true. Prediction 9: With the passage of long-awaited stablecoin legislation in the US, stablecoin assets will double to $400 billion – it is still too early to reach this goal. Prediction #10: As Wall Street’s crypto adoption intensifies, the value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will exceed $50 billion. – Still valid.” *This is not investment advice.
