Top 3 Reasons Why Crypto Markets Will Explode in 2025
By providing access to capital markets and shifting focus to supply-side opportunities, tokenization can democratize finance for smaller players.
The rise of AI-powered niche businesses may favor tokenization over traditional IPOs.
Bitcoin adoption, corporate mergers, and RWA tokenization will drive growth.
The cryptocurrency sector is expected to thrive in 2025, with key drivers like tokenization, AI, Bitcoin adoption, and corporate mergers taking the lead. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has openly supported the idea of a ‘crypto growth’ year in a series of posts on X. Here’s what you should know.
Tokenisation of Smaller Businesses
Horsley explained how tokenization could help small businesses access capital markets. By turning assets into tokens, businesses can unlock new ways to raise funds and tap into opportunities that were previously out of reach. He also highlighted a shift from focusing on demand-side benefits to supply-side opportunities, which could change how businesses grow and interact in the crypto space.
In a recent interview, Edwin Mata, CEO and founder of Brickken, shared his thoughts on how Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization would impact traditional markets in 2025. Mata believes that tokenization will particularly affect sectors like real estate, debt, and equity, making these markets more accessible and efficient.
AI and the Rise of Niche Businesses
Horsley also pointed out that advances in AI could lead to the rise of niche businesses, many of which might prefer tokenization over going public. This could create a new capital market where businesses raise funds through digital assets, bypassing traditional methods like public offerings.
Bitcoin’s Growing Corporate Adoption
Horsley predicts that in 2025, more companies will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets. As corporate interest in Bitcoin continues to grow, more businesses could adopt BTC as an asset, signaling broader corporate acceptance of cryptocurrency.
Focus on the Big Players
MicroStrategy remains the leader with 446,400 BTC, followed by Marathon Digital Holdings (40,435 BTC), Riot Platforms (16,728 BTC), and Hut 8 Corp (10,096 BTC). Horsley also suggests that 2025 may see a rise in mergers and acquisitions, with large corporations like Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla potentially expanding. This could spark strategies that would further push crypto adoption.
With the combined impact of tokenization, AI, Bitcoin adoption, and a revival of corporate mergers, 2025 is shaping up to be a year that accelerates cryptocurrency’s growth and adoption.
