VanEck recently released its crypto predictions for 2025, touching on key areas including price predictions, blob space fees, and AI agents.
What's the Scoop?
- Strategic reserve: One of VanEcks's most fascinating predictions is that the U.S. will indeed embrace
Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, influenced by Donald Trump’s re-election and the appointment of crypto-friendly politicians. - All-time highs: Their predictions list also tackled price action, predicting that Bitcoin would hit $180,000 this year, ETH would hit $6,000 and SOL would move above $500.
- Blob takeoff: Vaneck expects Ethereum's blob space to generate $1B in fees, driven by the rapid growth in L2 volume at a rate of approximately 300% annually.
- AI agent explosion: One of their boldest prediction is that the total amount AI agents' on-chain will surpass 1 million agents. While AI agents are a newer trend, the crypto industry is learning to adopt them and use them as tools for everyday activities.
Bankless Take:
VanEck scored their 2024 crypto predictions at an 8.5 out of 15. If they can maintain a similar level of accuracy in 2025, we could be looking at one of the biggest bull cycles in history. With crypto regulation on track for greater clarity, a surge of optimism around the space, and the community pushing the limits of innovation, the stage is set for massive growth.
