Bitcoin May Face ‘Demand Shocks’ In 2025 Due To Growing Institutional Interest: Report

According to a report by crypto asset management firm Sygnum,
institutional investor-led ‘demand shocks’ could propel Bitcoin
(BTC) prices to new highs in 2025. However, altcoins may
underperform due to factors such as reduced capital rotation from
BTC to other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin Likely To Continue Its
Momentum Into 2025 In a report titled Crypto Market Outlook 2025,
asset manager Sygnum outlined multiple factors that are likely to
further push BTC price upwards next year. The report highlights new
capital inflows into the market – particularly institutional
inflows – as the primary driver for the crypto bull market in 2025.

And Handle Formation The analysis highlights a ‘multiplier effect’
caused by institutional inflows combined with Bitcoin’s limited
liquid supply. For instance, every $1 billion of net inflows into
spot BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs) reportedly triggers a 3-6%
price increase. Additionally, the report notes that Bitcoin’s price
momentum is amplified by the concept of reflexivity – demand for
BTC grows as its price rises, creating a feedback loop. Together,
institutional inflows, the multiplier effect, and Bitcoin’s
reflexivity are expected to make 2025 a pivotal year for the
cryptocurrency. The report also emphasizes the importance of a
pro-crypto regulatory climate in the US, following the confirmation
of Donald Trump’s victory in the November presidential election.
The outcome is widely seen as favorable for crypto legislation,
with expectations of a comprehensive regulatory framework that
could provide much needed clarity for the industry. The election
outcome bodes well for crypto legislation, with widespread
expectation of the establishment of a comprehensive regulatory
framework, which includes clarifying the status of crypto assets
and defining the roles of the regulatory bodies. It is expected
that the CFTC’s role in crypto oversight will be extended, and the
chances of the various crypto bills passing and being written into
law have increased substantially. Some of the major crypto bills
that will be in focus are The Payment Stablecoin Act, The Bitcoin
Act – which compels the US government to build a strategic BTC
reserve – The CBDC Anti-Surveillance Act, and several other bills
that support crypto self-custody, crypto mining, and decentralized
finance. 2025: A Watershed Year For BTC The report predicts that
institutional giants such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Morgan
Stanley will continue increasing their exposure to crypto. Notably,
some portfolios now allow allocations of up to 25% for crypto
investments, though typical allocations remain in the 1-3% range.

Strategic Reserve In 2025 Further, BTC may benefit from central
banks and local governments considering setting aside some part of
their funds for BTC reserves. Notably, countries like El Salvador
and Bhutan are already actively mining and accumulating BTC as part
of the wider national economic strategy. The report adds that 2025
inflows into crypto ETFs are likely to be ‘substantially higher’
than the net inflows to date. As of December 11, the total net
assets in US-based spot BTC ETFs stands at $113.72 billion,
according to data from SoSoValue. Despite the optimistic forecasts,
the report acknowledges several potential risks that could dampen
Bitcoin’s bullish trajectory. These include inflationary pressures,
geopolitical uncertainties, and the increasing dominance of Tether
in the stablecoin market. At press time, BTC trades at $100,940, up
0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Unsplash, Chart from
