Presto Research's latest report highlighted that analysts also predict that Solana could reach $1,000 in 2025 thanks to network growth and strong technology.
The Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bill has enhanced the cryptocurrency’s potential as a geopolitical asset.
The crypto industry surged significantly in 2024, delivering a high performance that could shape its future. Investors are now looking ahead to 2025 with
predictions of Bitcoin hitting $210,000, Solana reaching $1,000, and
institutional adoption transforming the industry.
The influence of U.S. policy remains significant, with
a shift toward more favorable crypto regulation following the Republican
electoral sweep. The market also witnessed
the surprising dominance of meme coins this year.
Bitcoin’s Geopolitical Role
According to the latest report by Presto Research, the introduction of the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve Bill
further set the stage for the digital asset’s geopolitical role. Analysts now consider scenarios in which nation-states hold BTC as a strategic asset.
Meanwhile, meme coins became a defining theme of 2024, spurred by
growing disillusionment with VC-backed projects. Retail investors turned to meme coins like PEPE and DOGE, viewing them as a fairer playing field due to
their lower inflation and transparent supply.

While meme coins are often criticized for their lack of
utility, their performance signaled a key shift in market sentiment. Investors
rejected hype-driven VC launches in favor of assets that resonated with
community-led movements.
Stablecoins rebounded strongly in 2024, with their
aggregate market cap surging to $200 billion. Analysts predict this figure will
climb to $300 billion in 2025, cementing stablecoins as the blockchain’s most
successful application. The momentum seen in 2024 has sparked bold predictions
for 2025.
The research report noted that analysts foresee Bitcoin climbing to $210,000, driven by the MVRV ratio, a valuation metric that measures market value against realized value. Broader corporate adoption, led by MicroStrategy’s
success and improved accounting rules, could also drive BTC’s ascent.
Meanwhile, Solana’s institutional adoption and network
growth have positioned it for explosive gains. Analysts predict SOL could hit
$1,000 in 2025, citing the platform’s technological advancements and rising
on-chain activity. And geographically, the U.S. is poised to maintain its dominance in the
crypto market, fueled by a crypto-friendly political environment under the
Trump administration.

The Rise of Crypto Indices
The rise of crypto indices could further boost mainstream adoption in 2025. Similar to the S&P 500 in equities, crypto
indexes are expected to provide diversified exposure to investors. These
products will simplify entry for new investors, offering sector-based baskets
that capture specific market themes.
The potential for major crypto firms like Circle,
Ripple, and Kraken to go public in 2025 could signal a new phase of growth.
IPOs would increase the industry's transparency and attract
institutional investors looking for legitimate, regulated entry points.
On-chain activity surged in 2024 as users became
increasingly wary of centralized exchanges following the FTX collapse. Improved
user experience across wallets, trading platforms, and bots also accelerated
adoption.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
