These Three Changes Could Shake Up Crypto Next Year

Although cryptocurrency has seen a lot of changes already this year, there could be even bigger ones coming in 2025. We have put together a list of the top three events that we anticipate to cause major change.

Some of these may happen in some capacity or another, and all three are quite likely. We anticipate that these will be the three biggest changes to crypto next year.

 

New Cryptocurrency Regulations

There has been a lot of talk this year about changing governmental policy when it comes to crypto and especially about updating the regulations that pertain to digital assets. In many ways, the world governments are still in the Dark Ages when it comes to how they treat cryptocurrency. Many governments seem to simply not know what to do with them, despite Bitcoin having been around since 2009.

As much as cryptocurrency has been in the election news and spoken about by politicians over the last few months, most of the industry experts believe that there will be some big changes once the US election is settled. So far, those changes look to be positive ones, but we will have to wait and see.

New ETFs

Possibly the biggest news in crypto this year was the release of spot ETFs. These allow investors to expose their portfolios to Bitcoin without a lot of the inherent risk that comes with crypto investments. We may see more ETFs coming in 2025, especially since the current selection has done quite well, garnering $30 billion in investor capital.  

ETFs could be the crypto investment of the future, allowing for a wider range of investment options and legitimizing decentralized currency even among banking institutions. If there are more ETFs, we anticipate they will include options from some of the lesser known cryptocurrencies that are trying to get in on the wave of excitement.

Bitcoin Gaining Government Support

Could Bitcoin become an important part of the US government’s financial strategy moving forward. Donald Trump has talked about paying off national debt using Bitcoin, and while some of his ideas may be far fetched, there is a definite desire for his camp to use Bitcoin in new and compelling ways.

We could see Bitcoin used by the US government in 2025, which would make it more accessible and more widely accepted in the US and around the world. It is unlikely that the US will adopt Bitcoin as one of its national currencies, as El Salvador has done, but we do anticipate that the government will use it in new and unexpected ways. It may even put a lot of support behind Bitcoin mining to create a booming export business for the country.
