Crypto 2025: the trends and forecasts of Mark Greenberg of Kraken

The VP Product and GM of Consumer at Kraken, Mark Greenberg, described the crypto scenario for 2025, highlighting the trends and forecasts.

Among the various points, what emerges is that for the next year, cryptocurrencies will increasingly be a fundamental element in the ideal investment portfolio. 

In fact, Greenberg predicts that in 2025, investors will start opting for crypto accumulation plans, to start with a small capital to gradually increase. 

This strategy of including crypto is nothing more than something already started in this 2024, but the trend suggests that for the next year it will be a more accelerated version. 

Another crucial point, then, is that in 2025, a new generation of banking services based on crypto could emerge. In this sense, the new investment products, such as money market funds, launched on various blockchains, have been appreciated by financial institutions. 

That’s why in 2025, Greenberg suggests that there will be a revolution in the payment sector, high-yield savings accounts, credit cards, loans and more. 

Crypto 2025: the predictions for Bitcoin, the stablecoin, and the cryptocurrency platforms

Continuing with the list of key points that highlight the trends and forecasts for the crypto sector in 2025, Greenberg from Kraken then talks about Bitcoin. 

In fact, it seems that even for next year, Bitcoin will continue to interest an increasing number of people, who will also see it as more valuable than gold itself. Bitcoin will continue to be the most sought-after asset as a safe haven against inflation. 

Moving on, then, the VP Product and GM of Consumer at Kraken talks about the volatility of cryptocurrencies. 

For 2025, the forecasts suggest that cryptocurrencies will be less and less volatile, thanks to mainstream adoption leading to greater liquidity, making the market less susceptible to violent price swings. 

If the volatility decreases, crypto will become appealing even for that group of investors who are less inclined to market risk. 

Speaking of stablecoins, the representative of the crypto-exchange predicts that in 2025 there will be real competition for the first time, thanks to the arrival of new stablecoins with regulatory advantages. 

Another key point, then, is dedicated to the strategy that crypto platforms will implement, just like Kraken. Greenberg sees new product offerings for users focused on medium and long-term crypto accumulation. The basis of these services will be the yield on stablecoin holdings, with more sophisticated products and services layered on top. 

The new ATH of Bitcoin today and its 2025 target

While talking about 2025, Bitcoin is already making its history today. In fact, today, December 16, the value of BTC has reached the new All-Time High of $106,400. Also, the market cap of Bitcoin has surpassed 2 trillion dollars.

At the time of writing, BTC is worth $104,500 and the market cap is 2.068 trillion dollars. 

Regarding the price prediction for Bitcoin, the report by Matrixport revealed that the 2025 target for BTC is $160,000, an increase of +60% compared to current prices.
