- HashKey Group projects Bitcoin could exceed $300,000 in 2025, fueled by institutional investments, Wall Street adoption, and global economic shifts.
- With Bitcoin recently crossing $100,000, HashKey predicts a $10 trillion crypto market cap, driven by ETFs, CBDCs, and strong post-halving momentum.
A recent market survey by HashKey Group predicts Bitcoin could surpass $300,000 in 2025, fueled by institutional capital influx and mainstream financial adoption. The Hong Kong-based digital asset firm’s annual report, informed by input from nearly 50,000 community members, highlights the growing role of Wall Street in shaping the crypto landscape.
HashKey Group Chairman and CEO Dr. Xiao Feng described the crypto market as “poised for extraordinary growth,” aligning with Bitcoin‘s recent rebound past $100,000 following the release of inflation and CPI data. Despite a volatile week influenced by macroeconomic uncertainty, the firm projects a crypto market capitalization of $10 trillion by year-end, up from its current $3.64 trillion, as per CoinGecko.
Ben El-Baz, Managing Director of HashKey Global, emphasized Bitcoin’s decentralized, inflation-resistant nature as a challenge to traditional assets like gold and U.S. Treasury bonds. He noted these attributes as pivotal in advancing financial system diversification and digitization.
The report also points to Ethereum’s potential, predicting a $8,000 surge driven by a “digital oil” narrative and increasing Wall Street involvement. Security Token Offerings, exchange-traded funds, and Central Bank Digital Currencies are identified as additional catalysts, potentially injecting $3 trillion into crypto markets.
Arthur Hayes, CIO of Maelstrom Fund, anticipates a crypto market peak in mid to late March, attributing the surge to a favorable dollar liquidity environment. Meanwhile, ARK Invest’s December 2024 report underscores Bitcoin’s historical post-halving performance, indicating potential for positive returns in 2025.
Despite signs of overheating in derivatives markets, over 62% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply remains unmoved for over a year, signaling strong investor confidence.
