Galaxy Research, an offshoot of Galaxy Digital Holdings has released its optimistic forecast for Dogecoin (DOGE) for the coming year. This DOGE forecast comes as part of 23 major predictions for the digital currency ecosystem in 2025. The Galaxy Research forecast also touched on Bitcoin, Ethereum and other key crypto events.
The Galaxy Research Bold Call for Dogecoin
According to the firm, the top memecoin may finally fulfill its ambitions and skyrocket to $1 by next year. The research firm said it informed Galaxy Digital’s clients that the DOGE market capitalization will hit $100 billion next year.
For reference, Dogecoin price was pegged at $0.3133 at the time of writing with a market capitalization of $46.25 billion. While the coin has key fundamentals like sustained DOGE whale accumulations, the price will have to grow by more than 100% to hit this mark.
This growth rate is not uncommon for Dogecoin, however, the crypto ecosystem now have competing memecoins with higher risk-reward ratio. To Galaxy Research, the correlation with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) will impact the memecoin’s valuation.

Besides Dogecoin, the research firm also projected a $150,000 price top for Bitcoin in Q1 2025. Per the projections, the flagship coin will jump as high as $185,000 by the fourth quarter.
This predictions are conservative compared to the $350,000 Bitcoin price forecast recently issued by “Rich Dad Poor Dad” Author Roberts Kiyosaki.
Fate of the Broader Crypto Market
From Galaxy Research’s lens, Dogecoin is not the only asset that will benefit from the impending market boom in 2025. After the spot Bitcoin ETF market crossed the $100 billion Assets Under Management (AUM) milestone this month, Galaxy predicted a $250 billion record in 2025.
Ethereum also secured a bullish projection from the research firm. The firm said Ether will trade above $5,500 in 2025. Thus far in this bull market cycle, Ethereum has failed to jump above the $4,000 price mark. In addition, the firm said Ethereum staking rate will exceed 50%.
According to Galaxy Research, at least one big asset management firm will allocate over 2% of its AuM to buy Bitcoin. Other aspects of the market including Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solutions, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) among others will also see massive shifts in the coming year.
