The Crypto Market Has the Wind in Its Sails for 2025
It was an excellent year for crypto, not only for the digital currency but for many other assets as well, according to Grayscale’s managing director of research, Zach Pandl. The good economic news and favorable market conditions have set the stage for a strong 2025. In 2024, bitcoin had a record year, surging more than 100% and reaching $100,000 for the first time. The launch of spot bitcoin ETFs also gave the flagship digital currency a major boost, along with Donald Trump’s election.
With Trump taking a more crypto-friendly stance during his campaign, the industry gained support from the former president and expectations of easier regulations around crypto investing. Pandl believes that this is now a mainstream asset that will be incorporated in many types of portfolios thanks to the ETFs. As a result, crypto will be discussed regularly at the White House and among officials setting regulatory policy, making it here to stay.
