VanEck predicts that Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana will all reach new all-time highs in 2025, according to a crypto prediction note by the firm. The asset manager released new price predictions for each cryptocurrency Friday, revealing expectations for each to surge to new ATHs.
The prediction states that Bitcoin could reach $1800,000; Ethereum Ether may hit $6,000; and Solana SOL to hit $500. Each of these predictions indicates roughly 70% gains from current prices. VanEck went on to cite multiple potential catalysts for these surges, including:
- The crypto bull market hitting a medium-term peak in Q1, new highs in Q4.
- The U.S. embracing Bitcoin with a strategic reserve
- Looser crypto regulation due to SEC changes
- The value of tokenized securities potentially exceeding $50 billion
The firm also suggests that Bitcoin Layer-2s will reach 100,000 BTC in total value locked, building on the explosive 600% growth in 2024 that brought TVL to 30,000 BTC.
VanEck’s crypto price predictions are a bit more conservative than Bitwise’s predictions revealed earlier this week. The latter predicted that Bitcoin will reach $200,000; Ethereum will hit $7,000; and Solana SOL may hit $750. Each of these predictions indicates roughly 100% gains from current prices.

More VanEck 2025 Crypto Predictions
Additionally, VanEck also shared several other predictions surrounding stablecoins and other crypto updates. Indeed, the firm predicts that stablecoins will revolutionize payments, with daily settlement volumes projected to reach $300 billion by the end of 2025. Such a surge would triple the current $100 billion per day. At this level, stablecoins would handle transactions equivalent to 5% of DTCC’s daily volumes. “Following 180% year-over-year growth in 2024, this surge will be driven by adoption in global commerce, remittances, and integration with major tech and payment networks,” Van Eck analysts wrote.
Furthermore, VanEck suggests that the resurgence of NFTs in 2025 is imminent. “NFT trading volumes are projected to rebound to $30 billion in 2025,” the firm says. “Despite the downturn over the past years, standout projects like Pudgy Penguins, transitioning into a consumer brand through collectible toys, and Miladys, gaining cultural prominence in sardonic internet culture, have defied the trend, leveraging strong community bonds.”

In conclusion, VanEck echoes most sentiments that 2025 will be another big year for crypto. Bitcoin will of course lead the way, however, altcoin season is expected to kick off Q1 2025 on a great note, signaling proper gains throughout next year.
