Bitwise shared forecasts for the second half of the year

BitWise analysts updated the forecasts of the cryptocurrency market for the second half of 2025. Experts are confident in Bitcoin (BTC), but not in altcoins ..

We tell you what forecasts of cryptorrhoids Bitwise experts give.

BTC price will increase to $ 200,000

BitWise analysts predict that in the second half of 2025, Bitcoin will update the historical maximum (BTC) above $ 200,000. The main drivers of cryptocurrency growth:

  • demand from institutional investors;
  • Creating a crypto -reserve in the USA.

The prospects for altcoins look more modest. Experts doubt that SOLANA (SOL) and Ethereum (ETH) will be able to achieve record levels. Macroeconomic risks will most likely limit the potential of cryptocurrencies, despite the possible approval of exchange funds (ETF) on the basis of these assets.

The demand for bitcoin -etf will grow

In 2024, Bitcoin-ETF attracted $ 35 billion. As of the first half of 2025, these tools had already received $ 13 billion. By the end of the year, the indicator can break through record value. The key factor will be that large companies are actively interested in exchange funds, which potentially stick in the market of trillion dollars of net capital.

Coinbase will overtake Charles Schwab on capitalization

Coinbase capitalization ($ 90 billion) may exceed the indicator of the bank giant Charles Schwab ($ 164 billion). This prospect looks unlikely. However, the successes of the cryptocurrency exchange are impressive. Recently, Coinbase shares are included in the S&P 500, which led to their growth by 44%. The volumes of trading on the site are also growing – this inspires optimism.

A few more cryptocurrencies will conduct an IPO

In 2024, BitWise analysts suggested that 2025 could become the “year of cryptocurrency IPO”. Projects such as Webull, Etoro and Circle have already entered the exchange. The aggregate assessment exceeded $ 51.5 billion. In line – Gemini, Kraken and other large participants in the cryptorrhny.

Capitalization of stablecoins will double

The most important event of 2025 was the mitigation of the position of the US Department of Labor on Cryptoactives in Pension Plans. In the future, this can open the path to institutional capital. The adoption of the Law on Stablecoins – Genius ACT – will also accelerate the growth of the segment from the current $ 260 billion to the target $ 400 billion.

The tokenization trend will continue

Over the first half of 2025, the volume of tokenized assets of the real world (RWA) has grown from $ 13 billion to $ 25 billion. Bitwise experts are sure that by the end of the year the indicator will reach $ 50 billion. The reason – more and more giants from the world of traditional finance are connected to tokenization.

Forecasts that have not come true

BitWise suggested that after the excitement around the Official Trump (Trump) and Official Melania Meme (Melania) a new wave of memcin-mania will occur. This did not happen.

The forecast remains in question that in 2025 the number of countries owning bitcoin will double. So far, only nine states are buying BTC. Nevertheless, experts do not exclude that some buy cryptocurrency “in secret.”
