Andrew Lunardi, Head of Growth at Immutable, expressed strong optimism about the cryptocurrency market, predicting a substantial rebound in the second half of 2025. The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing a slump, with Bitcoin and Ethereum trading below $82k and $2k respectively.
One of the major catalysts, according to Lunardi, is the anticipated regulatory clarity from the Trump Administration. On the Milk Road podcast, he said that the administration’s forthcoming policies on compliant tokens will likely unlock substantial investment, particularly from institutional investors.
“We’re about to see clear regulatory guidelines on what it means to have a compliant token, which will reduce risks and encourage more institutional capital to flow into the market,”
Lunardi said.
Lunardi also pointed to the fading prominence of meme coins as a bullish indicator. While many have seen the decline of meme coins as a sign of a bear market, Lunardi views it as a positive shift, suggesting that liquidity from meme coins will likely be reallocated into more established altcoins, potentially benefiting diverse crypto portfolios.
Furthermore, Lunardi said that institutional capital inflows and the rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will provide significant support to the market, helping to stabilize prices and facilitate broader crypto adoption. “The infrastructure for institutional capital is in place, with more ETFs opening up the market,” he explained.
He explained that his main focus is on Bitcoin, and he remains bullish on Solana as well, despite the current popularity of meme coins. He also mentioned that he believes the Trump Administration will pay special attention to U.S.-based cryptocurrencies, particularly those that have utility and real-world applications.
Despite his bullish outlook, Lunardi acknowledged the potential challenges posed by macroeconomic factors, such as tariffs and inflation. He warned that global economic uncertainties could still impact the crypto market in the short term, particularly if tariffs escalate and inflation remains high.
