Bitcoin Targeted at $250,000 and Ethereum at $12,000 by 2025

In a price prediction shared on X, Tom Dunleavy, Chief Investment Officer at MV Global, outlined bullish projections for major cryptocurrencies in 2025. MV Global is known for its blockchain-focused investments in companies like Coinbase, Kraken, Ripple, Circle, and Bitfinex.

Dunleavy forecasts Bitcoin (BTC) to reach $250,000 and Ethereum (ETH) to hit $12,000 by the end of 2025, with Solana (SOL) potentially reaching $700. These predictions are based on an analysis of historical economic shifts and current U.S. policies.

Dunleavy compares the current landscape to the 1970s, specifically referencing President Nixon's termination of the Gold Standard in 1971 as a significant economic pivot. He suggests that Bitcoin and altcoins may follow a similar trajectory as gold did after Nixon's decision, which saw prices surge significantly over the following years.

Quarterly Bitcoin And Crypto Predictions For 2025

Q1 2025: A sharp uptrend is anticipated due to excitement surrounding the new administration. Dunleavy expects significant legislative advancements regarding market structure and stablecoins within the first 100 days, facilitated by cooperation from the Biden administration. A market correction is expected during the U.S. tax season.

Q2 2025: Gradual upward movement is projected as institutional investors enter the market. The potential approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs by major firms could enhance this trend. Ethereum is likely to benefit more immediately than Solana due to the latter lacking an ETF.

Q3 2025: A period of consolidation is expected, with prices moving sideways. The introduction of a spot Solana ETF could act as a catalyst for change. September may bring critical SEC rulings that could influence market dynamics.

Q4 2025: A robust surge is anticipated towards the year's end, leading to a blow-off top scenario. This cycle is expected to peak well into 2026, supported by strong demand from passive ETFs.

At press time, BTC traded at $100,812.
