🚨 Crypto Predictions for 2025 from @glxyresearch

Featuring... bitcoin and ether price, ETHBTC, both Dogecoin and D.O.G.E., stablecoins, defi, L2s, policy, VC, and more...

Here are the predictions we just sent to @galaxyhq clients and counterparties 👇 01 - Bitcoin will cross $150k in H1 and test or best $185k in Q4 2025.

A combination of institutional, corporate, and nation state adoption will propel Bitcoin to new heights in 2025. Throughout its existence, Bitcoin has appreciated faster than all other asset classes, particularly the S&P 500 and gold, and that trend will continue in 2025. Bitcoin will also reach 20% of Gold’s market cap. -@intangiblecoins

#Bitcoin didn’t cause the banking crisis. @intangiblecoins just sent a note to our clients and counterparties about the causes of the crisis and what the future holds for cryptocurrency adoption.

glxy.galaxy.com/galaxy-researc… Signature Bank director Barney Frank told CNBC today that he thinks “part of what happened was that regulators wanted to send a very strong anti-crypto message” and that Signature Bank officials believed they had stabilized on Sunday and were ready to open “as a going concern.”

We compared the risk-adjusted returns of BTC & ETH to a handful of other global assets across asset classes. On almost every time frame, BTC is a top performer and ETH is THE top performer. Here’s the data from each asset’s early-COVID low to present (Jan. 25, 2023). Also in our weekly newsletter, we evaluated all ETH currently staked and unable to withdraw until post-Shanghai. Two-thirds of all staked ETH was locked on-chain at prices equal to or higher than current ETHUSD prices.

We sent market commentary to our clients this morning, along with a new report examining last year's massive funding of crypto/blockchain companies by venture capitalists. Read here: conta.cc/3EWN4Ct #Bitcoin had traded in a tight range between $45.5-48.5k over the last 8 days. Except for 5 days in Dec., BTC has traded in a descending channel since 12/4. 200d MA flipped from support to resistance, and a HNS pattern emerged. All points to $38-41k in the next several days.

#Bitcoin and #crypto are surging. Here are 10 Metrics that Show How:

1/ BTC & Inflation Expectations: Since bottoming at $29k, BTC has been on a 100-day run in tandem with inflation expectations. That means it's acting as both a risk-on asset AND a gold proxy. #bullish 2/ The Mining Scene:

BTC is made in America. Thanks to both the Chinese crackdown on crypto and friendly state regulation, the majority of BTC's hashrate is now US-based. In turn, the migration West has enabled BTC hashrate to quickly rebound, meaning BTC is as secure as ever

Yesterday, a big BTC seller dumped on OTC markets, sparking a price drop that expanded across the crypto market, leading to the largest forced futures liquidations since May 19, 2021.
