• VanEck predicts Bitcoin will reach $180,000, Ethereum will hit $6,000, and Solana will reach $500 by 2025.
• VanEck expects stablecoin daily settlement volumes to triple to $300 billion by the end of 2025.

In a recent crypto prediction note, investment management firm VanEck has forecasted new all-time highs for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana by 2025. The company has shared its projections for each of these cryptocurrencies, anticipating substantial surges in their value.
VanEck’s Price Predictions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana
VanEck’s prediction suggests that Bitcoin could reach a staggering $1,800,000, Ethereum (Ether) could hit $6,000, and Solana (SOL) could surge to $500. These predictions represent an approximate 70% increase from their current prices. The firm attributes these potential gains to several catalysts, including the crypto bull market reaching a medium-term peak in Q1 with new highs in Q4, the U.S. strategically embracing Bitcoin, loosening crypto regulations due to SEC changes, and the value of tokenized securities potentially exceeding $50 billion.
The Impact of Bitcoin Layer-2s
According to VanEck, Bitcoin’s Layer-2s will see a substantial increase, reaching 100,000 BTC in total value locked (TVL). This prediction builds on the explosive 600% growth in 2024, which saw TVL rise to 30,000 BTC.
Comparing VanEck’s and Bitwise’s Crypto Predictions
VanEck’s predictions are somewhat more conservative when compared to those issued earlier by Bitwise. Bitwise anticipates that Bitcoin will reach $200,000, Ethereum will touch $7,000, and Solana (SOL) may surge to $750, indicating roughly 100% increases from their current values.
VanEck’s Forecast for Stablecoins and NFTs
Beyond Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, VanEck has also shared insights on the future of stablecoins and NFTs. The company predicts that stablecoins will revolutionize payments, with daily settlement volumes expected to reach $300 billion by the end of 2025. This represents a threefold increase from the current $100 billion per day. Additionally, VanEck foresees a resurgence of NFTs in 2025, with trading volumes rebounding to $30 billion.
Conclusion
In conclusion, VanEck believes 2025 will be another significant year for the crypto market. Although Bitcoin is expected to lead the way, the firm predicts that the altcoin season will commence in Q1 2025, signaling robust gains throughout the year.
