Investment management firm VanEck has released its cryptocurrency market forecast for 2025, predicting a major bull market where Bitcoin (BTC) will reach a high of $180,000 and Ethereum (ETH) will surpass $6,000. The firm also expects Solana (SOL) to surpass $500 and Sui (SUI) to rise above $10. According to VanEck, the crypto bull market is expected to reach a medium-term peak in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025, followed by a 30% pullback for Bitcoin and a sharper 60% decline for altcoins in the summer. However, the firm predicts a recovery and new market highs by the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025 thanks to increasing adoption and market momentum.

Tokenized Securities: The value of tokenized securities is expected to exceed $50 billion, signaling a shift towards blockchain-based financial assets.
