Bitcoin and crypto markets continue to set new all-time highs as the end of 2024 approaches. Many analysts now believe that 2025 will bring more investors and capital to the digital assets market, supported by crypto-friendly policies and a regulatory framework that will enable innovation.
CI has received insightful commentary on these latest developments from crypto and blockchain professionals across the globe.
Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, India’s “second-longest-running” digital asset exchange, said:
“Bitcoin has reached a historical milestone, surpassing $100,000 for the first time in history, fueled by optimism surrounding the incoming administration of President Donald Trump. The bitcoin peak reflected a remarkable 45% increase since Trump’s election victory four weeks ago.“
Thakral added:
“Traders are enthusiastic about a more favorable regulatory environment, particularly with Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world” and his plans to establish a national Bitcoin reserve. Investors predict that Bitcoin could continue its upward trajectory as we head to 2025, with some forecasting a rise to $120,000 soon.”
Ryan Lee, Chief Analyst at Bitget Research shared:
“Bitcoin reaching $100,000 marks a pivotal milestone, underscoring its increasing adoption and perceived value. Analysts are now shifting focus to the next potential resistance levels, eyeing targets of $150,000 and even $200,000. The market’s measured reaction suggests there may still be room for growth.”
Lee added that Bitcoin‘s rising dominance could “temporarily divert investment away from altcoins.”
However, Lee pointed out that history suggests “that once Bitcoin stabilizes, altcoins often experience a resurgence. Investors frequently enter Bitcoin at new highs, anticipating sustained upward momentum, which could further propel its price in the short term.”
They also mentioned that looking ahead to 2025, “long-term forecasts project Bitcoin setting new all-time highs before altcoins regain attention and traction. Despite these optimistic scenarios, the inherent volatility of the crypto market cannot be overlooked. Investors are advised to remain vigilant and prepared for potential corrections.”
Petr Kozyakov, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Mercuryo, a payment infrastructure platform in the digital token space:
“Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 mark is so much more than just a numerical milestone — it’s a powerful testament to how far the industry has come. Whether it be in the form of greater institutional adoption, the tokenization of real-world assets or advances in payment rail architecture, there is now a sense that everything is possible.“
They continued:
“Cryptocurrency is destined to reach mass adoption in just the same way as the World Wide Web has today. Furthermore, it will be the projects in the space that excel in providing seamless and secure solutions with a high-level user experience (UX) that will rise to supremacy. We see a future where consumers will move effortlessly between digital tokens and fiat in their daily lives. The age of cryptocurrency has begun.”
