VanEck anticipates a cryptocurrency correction in Q1 2025, predicting Bitcoin could peak at $180,000 and Ethereum at over $6,000 by year-end.

Institutional adoption and regulatory changes are projected to drive significant demand and price increases.
Bitcoin is gaining traction among institutional investors, with Sygnum Bank predicting a significant rise by 2025 as sovereign funds and pensions enter the market. Meanwhile, Brian Quintenz is a frontrunner for the CFTC chair, potentially influencing crypto regulation positively. Ethereum is also seeing record ETF inflows, breaking the $4K mark, raising questions about the sustainability of this surge.
Surging institutional inflows are expected to create "demand shocks" for Bitcoin in 2025, potentially driving its price significantly higher, according to Sygnum Bank. Each $1 billion in net inflows into spot ETFs could increase Bitcoin's price by 3-6%. The report highlights that regulatory clarity in the US could further accelerate institutional participation, while altcoins may struggle unless supportive laws are enacted. Bitcoin ETFs have seen substantial growth, surpassing $100 billion in net assets, fueled by increased adoption and investor interest.
