The crypto market has been on a bullish streak in the last quarter of this year, thanks to Donald Trump\u2019s recent victory in the United States presidential election.<\/p>\n
American investment management firm VanEck has shared<\/a> ten predictions that could raise the crypto market\u2019s valuation in the coming year.<\/p>\n VanEck\u2019s first prediction focused on leading assets that would experience meteoric price growth next year. For example, BTC would attain $180,000, ETH would cross $6,000, SOL would surpass $500, and SUI would exceed $10.<\/p>\n The firm\u2019s next prediction showed factors that could drive some of these price projections. With Trump\u2019s bullish stance, VanEck expects the U.S. to adopt Bitcoin as a strategic reserve.<\/p>\n Following Trump\u2019s selection of a crypto-friendly chairman for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), applications for multiple crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) will likely be approved. Additionally, Ethereum ETPs will feature staking<\/a>, a function restricted under the Joe Biden administration.<\/p>\n Highlighting another factor that could aid BTC\u2019s price growth, VanEck stated in another prediction that Bitcoin-based layer-2 networks will reach 100,000 BTC in total value locked (TVL). If this speculation comes true, it would be a 600% surge from this year\u2019s TVL record.<\/p>\n The completion of the Ethereum Dencun upgrade<\/a> from earlier this year allowed for increased blob activity. VanEck predicted that the Ethereum blob space will garner $1 billion in fees as more L2 rollups and \u201chigh-fee use cases\u201d come to the limelight.<\/p>\n The stablecoin market has a daily traded volume of around $100 billion. VanEck projects this value to soar to as high as $300 billion by the end of next year. The firm explained that \u201cthis surge will be driven by adoption in global commerce, remittances, and integration with major tech and payment networks.\u201d<\/p>\n VanEck expanded its prediction to include artificial intelligence (AI). The firm stated that one million new AI agents will surface next year and be used in decentralized finance (DeFi), social media, gaming, and consumer applications.<\/p>\n Regarding DeFi, VanEck expects decentralized exchanges (DEX) to hit a peak of $4 trillion in traded volume and $200 billion in TVL. This surge would be fueled by AI-focused projects, \u201cconsumer-facing dApps, and tokenized assets.\u201d<\/p>\n Another DeFi-focused prediction from VanEck projects dApp tokens, which will narrow the performance gap with L1 crypto assets. The investment company is optimistic that new projects themed around AI and Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks<\/a> (DePIN) will drive growth.<\/p>\n The NFT market is not left out of the company\u2019s projection. VanEck predicts that the NFT traded volume will reclaim $30 billion next year. Growing projects like Pudgy Penguins<\/a> and Milady will drive this surge.<\/p>\n VanEck also predicted a surge in tokenized securities in the coming year. Although the market soared from $6 billion to $12 billion this year, the company expects this value to soar to as high as $50 billion next year.<\/p>\n The post BTC at $180K, ETH to $6K, and More: Here\u2019s VanEck\u2019s Top Crypto Predictions for 2025<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The crypto market has been on a bullish streak in the last quarter of this year, thanks to Donald Trump\u2019s recent victory in the United States presidential election.
