Investors are optimistic about the continued growth of the cryptocurrency market, with many expecting a peak in 2025.
A recent survey by MV Global, shared by Cointelegraph, which included 77 major cryptocurrency investors such as hedge funds and venture firms, revealed that nearly half predict the market will reach its top in the second half of 2025. Bitcoin is expected to hit between $100,000 and $150,000 during this cycle, as per the survey. Solana is gaining significant attention, with 30% of respondents forecasting its price could exceed $600 before the cycle ends.
Ethereum’s future is seen with more caution. While some investors predict only modest gains, with ETH peaking at $3,000 to $5,000, others are more optimistic, expecting a rise to $7,000. This divide in opinion makes betting on Ethereum a more contrarian stance.
The overall sentiment in the crypto market has been positively impacted by factors such as Donald Trump’s election victory, which many believe could benefit the sector. Following this, Bitcoin reached a market cap of $1.62 trillion, driving the overall crypto market cap to $2.71 trillion.

However, despite the increase, SOL is still below its 2021 peak of $260. As the crypto market continues to evolve, these optimistic forecasts reflect broader confidence in digital currencies and their growing role in the financial landscape.
