Ethereum's Superior Potential Over Bitcoin: 7 Predictions for the Digital Currency Landscape in 2025

In a recent post on social media, VirtualBacon market expert shared seven key predictions that could shape the context of cryptocurrencies by 2025. The focus of these predictions is to assert that Ethereum (ETH) may outperform Bitcoin (BTC) in terms of performance, even as Bitcoin continues to maintain its dominant position in the market. Expert Predicts a New Wave of Price Increase for Cryptocurrencies in 2025 When Bitcoin once again approaches the $100,000 mark after a strong correction in recent weeks and altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are about to launch, this expert believes that the current cryptocurrency price surge is just getting started. VirtualBacon poses an interesting question: Is 2025 the year that cryptocurrency will break all previous records? The anticipation surrounding the potential market fluctuations is evident, especially when considering the price surge driven by the recent increase in Bitcoin and the upcoming launch of altcoin ETFs. This expert reflects on last year's predictions, noting that Bitcoin reached $80,000, the cryptocurrency game attracted attention, and Trump's return to politics significantly boosted market momentum. Looking ahead, VirtualBacon predicts that the longer and slower price increase cycle is likely to extend until the fourth quarter of 2025. This forecast is supported by the Federal Reserve's cautious approach to liquidity, expected to minimize the risk of a sudden market crash. The predicted likelihood of a recession will decrease to 33%, signaling a relatively stable period. The dominance of Bitcoin is expected to increase, primarily due to institutional demand, with spot ETFs currently holding about 5% of the Bitcoin supply. Although altcoins may be slow to start, VirtualBacon asserts that this 'slower cycle' is considered a 'blessing,' providing enough time for the market to grow and mature. Will Ethereum Outperform Bitcoin This Year? One of the most important factors influencing the cryptocurrency market in 2025 is the prediction of large liquidity pumping cycles. The US debt crisis could force the Federal Reserve to implement quantitative easing, thereby expanding the balance sheet and flooding the market with cash. Furthermore, the revaluation of gold—potentially adjusting from $42 an ounce to about $2,000—could create more liquidity in the system. Such conditions often lead to inflation, which is related to rising asset prices, indicating that cryptocurrencies could thrive in this environment. However, despite these optimistic predictions, VirtualBacon still doubts the possibility of the US Bitcoin Reserve Act being passed by 2025. The US Treasury Department's proposal to purchase one million Bitcoin in five years faces significant obstacles, especially in ensuring taxpayer support for such a large expenditure. In terms of regulations, VirtualBacon predicts that the cryptocurrency-friendly laws may prioritize alternative cryptocurrencies, especially through the proposed 21st Century Compliance Act. This legislation may provide clearer regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies, designating decentralized tokens such as blockchain Layer 1 as commodities according to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), while less decentralized assets will fall under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to experts, with Paul Atkins, a supporter of cryptocurrencies, it is possible for major cryptocurrencies to grow strongly, although smaller startups may face challenges in the new context. Predictions about the development of altcoin ETFs are another interesting prospect for 2025. VirtualBacon expects ETFs for cryptocurrencies like Litecoin, HBAR, XRP, and Solana to emerge, thanks to their unique features and pending legal solutions. With Ethereum ETFs attracting the attention of institutions, a similar model can occur for these altcoins, further promoting the adoption by institutions in the cryptocurrency market. Perhaps the most attractive prediction is that Ethereum may outperform Bitcoin, potentially doubling Bitcoin's profits by 2025. With investors increasingly favoring ETH over BTC in recent months, along with a historically favorable performance trend for Ethereum in the first half of the year, the Ethereum ecosystem is poised for significant growth. VirtualBacon estimates the year-end price for Bitcoin to be around $200,000 and for Ethereum to be $14,000, setting ambitious but 'achievable' targets based on expected liquidity and institutional support. As of writing this article, BTC is trading at $95,840, recording an increase of over 4% in the 24-hour period. Similarly, ETH is trading at $3,200, recording an even higher increase of nearly 6% in the same time frame.
