Top Bank Predicts Institutional Inflows Could Propel Bitcoin to New Heights in 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market are poised for a promising year ahead.

With expectations of a robust bull market and potential all-time highs (ATHs) for BTC and altcoins in 2025, predictions for the coming year are already surfacing.

Swiss crypto bank Sygnum has released its projections for 2025, highlighting an expected surge in institutional investment. According to the bank, increased institutional inflows could propel Bitcoin’s price to new heights. Sygnum also noted that every $1 billion in net U.S. spot ETF inflows could boost BTC’s value by 3-6%.

Sygnum’s Chief Customer Officer, Martin Burgherr, emphasized that with clearer regulations in the U.S. and the possibility of Bitcoin being recognized as a central bank reserve asset, 2025 could witness a significant surge in institutional Bitcoin participation, potentially driving prices even higher.

While the outlook for Bitcoin remains positive, Sygnum’s analysts are more cautious when it comes to altcoins. Without favorable U.S. regulations, they predict that altcoins may lag behind Bitcoin. The bank specifically highlighted the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21) and the Stable Payments Act as key legislative factors that could influence the future of cryptocurrencies.
