Forbes has unexpectedly released its crypto predictions for 2025, and we couldn’t resist sharing them with you 👉🏻👈🏻
Here’s what the crypto market might look like in 2025 according to Forbes:
1. A G7 or BRICS country will establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve. Inspired by Donald Trump’s comments about a potential U.S. Bitcoin reserve, other nations may follow suit.
2. Stablecoin market cap will reach $400 billion, driven by regulatory clarity. The U.S. views stablecoins as a tool to strengthen the dollar’s global dominance, further accelerating sector growth.
3. Bitcoin DeFi will be a growth driver. L2 solutions like Stacks, BOB, Babylon, and CoreDAO will unlock Bitcoin’s DeFi potential. By 2025, Bitcoin L2 TVL could exceed $24 billion, reinforcing BTC’s role in DeFi.
4. New crypto ETFs will launch. In 2025, Ethereum ETFs will include staking, and we’ll see Solana ETFs and weighted crypto indices to help investors diversify. 1 reply

5. $BTC will appear on the balance sheet of a Big Seven company. Accounting standard updates starting in 2025 will make crypto more attractive to companies. Forbes predicts one of the Big Seven (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, Meta) will add Bitcoin to its balance sheet, following Tesla’s lead.
6. Crypto market cap will exceed $8 trillion. The influx of talented developers and new AI, DeFi, and DePIN-focused applications will expand the ecosystem. User growth and capital inflows will drive the market’s capitalization upward.
7. A revival of crypto startups in the U.S. The departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler in January 2025 and the appointment of Paul Atkins, known for his pro-crypto stance, will create a favorable regulatory environment. The end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 will restore banking access for startups, making token launches safer and more regulated, attracting both domestic and international capital.
In short, 2025 looks like it’s going to be great 😎 0 reply
