The future of cryptocurrencies has been on the agenda, and Elon Musk has already warned that their value could drop significantly this year. But there are also predictions that indicate the opposite.
Earlier this year, Elon Musk announced that if Donald Trump’s presidency is successful in combat inflationthis may be more important.
Musk’s position triggered some astonished reactions, with a user on the social network X leaving him a curious question: “So, you’re telling me that when you “fix” real money, Magical Internet Money Becomes Less Magical?”.
In fact, some predictions indicate that the driven by traditional financenot so much due to inflation and money itself, but in light of several relevant factors, namely “more favorable regulations and greater institutional adoption” of digital currencies.
This is the forecast of , a company that offers security solutions for cryptocurrencies, which predicts that “in the coming months”, Bitcoin prices should register “a significant growthdriven largely by traditional finance.”
“Traditional finance will continue to provide a easier access cryptocurrencies to its investors”, Ledger also analyzes, noting that the bank must expand offers to its customers in this area, with “ETFs, options, derivatives and debt instruments intended for the acquisition of cryptocurrencies”.
These digital assets will also be “increasingly integrated into pension funds and broader investment strategies”, points out the company.
At the same time, the bank will “deepen” the use of blockchain technology which supports transactions with cryptocurrencies to “modernize operations”, namely payments, and guarantee “faster, cheaper and more efficient transactions than traditional systems”.
Cryptocurrencies as a geopolitical weapon
In the near future, cryptocurrencies may also become a “geopolitical tool”, emerging as “a powerful economic weapon used by different nation-states to promote their interests”, highlights Ledger.
The company also predicts that “several countries, including the United States, may establish cryptocurrency strategic reserves as part of their economic strategies”.
This week, it was precisely reported that Donald Trump, who is about to assume the US presidency, wants to build a .
At the same time, “the Central Bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will be introduced in several countries, with Brazil being a notable example”, highlights Ledger.
The Central Bank of Brazil is, at this time, testing its digital currency, “Drex”which is equivalent to the traditional real, but completely digital.
The influence of Artificial Intelligence
The global scenario will also be marked, in the near future, by expected innovations in the areas of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology, which is used in transactions and other operations in the traditional financial system to ensure greater security and transparency.
These developments will inevitably influence the cryptocurrency market, and beyond. Cryptography and blockchain will be tools increasingly necessaryeven to help distinguish real people from fraudulent AI-generated “bots.”
However, countries are also expected to invest in regulation of the cryptocurrency market.
A Europa should continue to maintain a “restrictive” legislative framework for digital currencies, predicts Ledger, highlighting, however, that in countries like the USA, a “more permissive” outlook is expected.
The 10 most promising cryptocurrencies for 2025
Ledger also designs a “decline in Bitcoin dominance” in 2025, adding that “altcoins” (i.e., alternative currencies to ), in particular “memecoins” (which emerged from memes or popular cultural trends), should play “a surprisingly fundamental role”.
“Retail investors migrate en masse to these community driven tokens“, predicts the company specializing in cryptocurrencies.
Despite this, Bitcoin should continue to be the main cryptocurrency on the market, followed by (ETH) which maintains “high” confidence in the market, as highlighted by the portal that provides financial information and analysis to the Brazilian public.
A Ethereum “is widely recognized for its scalability, security and robust governance, attributes that make it one of the most reliable on the market“, points out the specialized publication.
A Solana (SUN) also shows a “promising growth”points out the Brazilian website, which specializes in cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
Based on cross-analysis of several industry publications, we can indicate that 10 most promising cryptocurrencies in 2025are as follows:
1. Bitcoin (BTC)
2. Ethereum (ETH)
3. Solana (SUN)
4. Cardano (ADA)
5. Polygon (MATIC)
6. Stellar (XLM)
7. Ripple (XRP)
8. Avalanche (AVAX)
9. Optimism (OP)
10. Telos (TLOS).
These cryptocurrencies are seen as promising due to their technological innovations and market growth potential.
How to invest in cryptocurrencies?
In any case, before investing in cryptocurrencies, you should be aware of the risks involved due to the high volatility of this digital market.
“If you have less money than Elon [Musk]probably should be careful“, warns Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft and a critic of cryptocurrencies.
Therefore, never invest more than you can afford to lose.
It should also distrust of promises of guaranteed, or very high, returns. If it seems too good to be true, it’s probably a lie.
Also, do not put all your resources into a single cryptocurrency. Search diversify your portfolio to reduce risks.
