- The total crypto market cap will surpass the $8 trillion mark in 2025.
- A major G7 or BRICS country will implement a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) in 2025.
- In 2025, the stablecoin circulating supply is predicted to exceed $400 billion.
The crypto market will witness massive adoption and significant changes in 2025, claimed Leeor Shimron, a Senior Contributor at Forbes, in a report titled “7 Predictions For Crypto In 2025: Bitcoin, ETFs Global Adoption.” As the day the former president takes over as the new US president nears, crypto investors await the massive changes that the billionaire promised during campaign speeches.
In the report , Shimron’s first prediction was that along with the former president’s administration’s proposal to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR), a major G7 or BRICS country would also announce its own form of SBR. The implementation of a SBR in any world-leading economy would create “a new era in sovereign wealth management,” Shimron added.
The report highlighted that in 2024, stablecoins reached an all-time high of $200 billion in circulating supply and Shimron expects this value to exceed a whopping $400 billion in 2025. With the debut of Ripple’s RLUSD and growing use of stablecoins for cross-border payments, the sector is expected to witness further adoption.

In 2025, Bitcoin DeFi will take over the crypto sector with Layer 2 networks like Stacks, BOB, Babylon, CoreDAO, and others becoming increasingly popular. These networks will bring additional utility for BTC. Additionally, while talking about exchange-traded funds focused on cryptocurrencies, Shimron expects Solana (SOL) and other altcoins ETFs to debut in the US in 2025.
The Forbes report also predicts that one of the top companies in the US (except Tesla which already has BTC on its balance sheet) could allocate a portion of their funds to buy Bitcoin. Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Nvidia, Tesla, and Meta hold a total of $600 billion in cash reserves and could easily start their own BTC purchase spree.
Crypto Market Cap Could Reach $8 Trillion
At the time of this writing, the total market cap of the digital asset sector stands at a whopping $3.3 trillion but Shimron predicts that the total value of the crypto market will surpass the $8 trillion value in 2025 with stablecoins, DeFi, NFTs, memecoins, GameFi, SocialFi, and Bitcoin seeing massive traction.
Also, the United States is expected to return as the crypto powerhouse of the world under the new administration. The companies that had left the US under Joe Biden’s strict administration due to the SEC’s “regulation through enforcement” approach are expected to make their return.
