Swiss cryptocurrency bank Sygnum released the "2025 Crypto Market Outlook Report" pointing out that 2025 may become an important turning point in the cryptocurrency market. The report predicts that with the continued inflow of funds from institutional investors, the improvement of the regulatory environment and the possible inclusion of Bitcoin in sovereign wealth funds and central bank reserve assets, the price of cryptocurrencies will rise. The report emphasizes that the attitude of the US government and regulators has shifted to favor the development of cryptocurrencies, especially the improvement of regulation will mainly benefit altcoins. However, risk factors such as inflationary pressure, tightening liquidity cycle and memecoin bubble may limit the market's gains. The report also pointed out that innovation at the infrastructure level has become the focus of the industry. Although Ethereum faces challenges, emerging public chains have performed outstandingly. In addition, the performance of altcoins has also been constrained by private entities obtaining project benefits and the lack of user growth in some applications.
