The top crypto predictions for 2025 |
By all accounts, cryptocurrency had a big year in 2024. Bitcoin surpassed the $100,000 mark, legislation to govern the industry moved forward and donors became a political heavyweight, sending hundreds of pro-crypto candidates to Washington along with a new crypto fan — Donald Trump.
2025 is shaping up to be even bigger, even though there are concerns over Trump's potential conflicts and his appetite to regulate the industry. There's the possibility of a larger crypto bill becoming law, the potential for more currencies to become mainstream and a chance for crypto to capitalize on its political power.
"With a pro-crypto president and a bipartisan, pro-crypto Congress, our industry has a rare opportunity to get smart policy across the finish line that will shape the future of crypto in the United States,” Blockchain Association CEO Kristin Smith told Salon.com. "I’m confident that the crypto industry has the political capital, the public support and the technological vision to write the next chapter of America's innovation story.”
