2. David Sacks will bring offshore operations back onshore, doubling the number of crypto companies in the USA.
3. Due to the consumer hype cycle, Bitcoin will hit $180,000.
4. The end of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 will lead to triple the number of crypto-friendly banks.
5. Coinbase market cap will hit 100 billion.
6. The number of crypto wallets held by users will hit 600 million.
7. Stablecoin Yield will become a must-have in the emerging markets.
8. AI Agents will autonomously transact in cryptocurrency on behalf of their users.

Conclusion

In my opinion, 2025 will be the year of technological developments in DeFi, stablecoin stability via legislative clarity, and more institutional interest across the board. As we approach the end of the year, these points become clearer with events such as market sentiment, Bitcoin hitting $100,000, Paul Atkins being the nominee for new SEC leadership, and the expansion of DeFi.
