VanEck Releases Crypto Price Predictions for 2025

VanEck recently released its crypto predictions for 2025, touching on key areas including price predictions, blob space fees, and AI agents. 

What's the Scoop?

• Strategic reserve: One of VanEcks's most fascinating predictions is that the U.S. will indeed embrace Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, influenced by Donald Trump’s re-election and the appointment of crypto-friendly politicians.
• All-time highs: Their predictions list also tackled price action, predicting that Bitcoin would hit $180,000 this year, ETH would hit $6,000 and SOL would move above $500.
• Blob takeoff: Vaneck expects Ethereum's blob space to generate $1B in fees, driven by the rapid growth in L2 volume at a rate of approximately 300% annually.
• AI agent explosion: One of their boldest prediction is that the total amount AI agents' on-chain will surpass 1 million agents. While AI agents are a newer trend, the crypto industry is learning to adopt them and use them as tools for everyday activities.

Bankless Take:

VanEck scored their 2024 crypto predictions at an 8.5 out of 15. If they can maintain a similar level of accuracy in 2025, we could be looking at one of the biggest bull cycles in history. With crypto regulation on track for greater clarity, a surge of optimism around the space, and the community pushing the limits of innovation, the stage is set for massive growth.
