Crypto continues to gain ground in traditional finance, despite often marked fluctuations. Now, the major players on Wall Street are taking a close interest in it. Among them, JPMorgan, which has just unveiled its forecasts for 2025: a bright future for Bitcoin and digital assets. This shift is based on various factors, ranging from regulatory changes to geopolitical tensions that encourage investors to diversify their holdings.
Why JPMorgan is betting on crypto
According to JPMorgan, which announced an imminent recovery of the crypto market last July, cryptocurrencies could thrive, notably thanks to a potential return of Donald Trump to the White House. Analysts believe such a victory would strengthen the “debasement trade”—a trend where investors turn to alternative assets such as gold and Bitcoin during periods of economic instability.
In addition to this, initiatives from the traditional sector, such as Morgan Stanley’s recommendation of Bitcoin ETFs, support this market. Other positive signals include:
- The major liquidations linked to the bankruptcies of Mt. Gox and Genesis are largely behind us;
- The capitalization of stablecoins is once again approaching 180 billion dollars, its previous peak;
- The cash payments from the FTX scandal, expected by 2025, could boost crypto investments.
Bitcoin at the heart of forecasts
Despite uncertainties, the price of Bitcoin benefits from the current momentum. Its current price is around 67,000 dollars, above the production cost estimated by JPMorgan, which is at 47,000 dollars. This differential attracts speculators, especially as volatility-adjusted comparisons between Bitcoin and gold place BTC at about 63,000 dollars.
JPMorgan also notes that the growing adoption of regulations on stablecoins could play in favor of cryptos. However, some gray areas remain, notably regarding the timeline of US legislation on this subject.
However, beginners will have to test the waters before diving in, but AI cryptos and memecoins deserve their attention, as they are in full swing.
