PANews reported on January 8 that according to Cointelegraph, Fidelity Digital Assets predicted in its latest report that by 2025, countries that include Bitcoin in their national strategic reserves will drive significant growth in the cryptocurrency market. Research analyst Matt Hogan pointed out that more countries, central banks, and sovereign wealth funds may follow the example of Bhutan and El Salvador to establish strategic positions in Bitcoin and reap rich returns in the short term. Hogan emphasized that due to challenges such as inflation, currency depreciation, and fiscal deficits, not allocating Bitcoin may pose a greater risk to the country than allocating Bitcoin. He also mentioned that if the United States advances its Bitcoin strategic reserve plan, other countries may secretly accumulate Bitcoin to avoid pushing up market prices.
In addition, Hogan predicts that digital asset structured and custody products will "go mainstream" in 2025, and the success of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs will drive more product innovations in traditional finance. He also believes that tokenization will become the "killer application" in 2025, and the on-chain value is expected to double from $14 billion to $30 billion.
Fidelity researchers said investors should "prepare for acceleration" as adoption and demand for digital assets are growing rapidly. They stressed that it is not too late for investors to join the digital asset space, which could be the beginning of a new era that will last for many years or even decades.
