Bitcoin failed to set a new all-time high in the last five days, but it continues to hold in the $90,000 zone. Here is an hourly chart of the first cryptocurrency.

That said, the majority of the industry is hoping for BTC to rise above $100,000 by the end of 2024. This follows from the preliminary results of a Twitter poll by MicroStrategy co-founder Michael Saylor.

Saylor himself also supports this version, as he previously claimed to be preparing for a party to celebrate the first cryptocurrency’s debut rise to a six-figure rate.

Over the weekend, Michael said that MicroStrategy’s bitcoin purchase tracker needs more green dots to mark transactions. In other words, Sailor is hinting at more rounds of giant coin purchases – and he did the same thing last weekend.

Now the positivity about Bitcoin’s prospects has been shared by cryptocurrency venture capitalists. The Block spoke to them about the future of the industry.

What will happen to cryptocurrency in 2025

As Yogita Khatri noted, investor enthusiasm given Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election is undeniable. However, earlier the newly elected president promised to ensure adequate regulation for coins in the country, to think about the creation of a strategic Bitcoin reserve, as well as to change the leadership of the Securities Commission, which has created a lot of problems for the coin market in recent years.

Therefore, investors took the news of Trump and his fellow Republicans’ victory in early November positively.

Khatri confirms this sentiment among major investors. Most of them are still betting on long-term coin investments, while others are adjusting plans in line with the new trends.

Here is co-founder Lasse Klausean’s comment on the situation.

Undoubtedly, the crypto industry has a right to be excited. Only insiders can fully appreciate what a colossal damage to innovation the previous administration did. People on the outside still don’t realise how many exciting new products will emerge in the industry now that the founders have once again been given the freedom to experiment.

Arianna Simpson, general partner of a16z crypto, voiced a similar view. According to her, the last few years have been very challenging for the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. At the same time, now we are waiting for “tangible policy changes” in relation to the coin sphere, which will benefit developers and companies.


In recent years, cryptocurrency companies have indeed been forced to act cautiously as they could get fined by the Securities Commission at any time. There have also been instances where niche representatives were forced to shut down their operations as a significant portion of their revenue went towards defending themselves in court.

It is expected that with the new SEC leadership such stories will be a thing of the past, and the coin industry will get clear rules for work.


CoinFund Managing Partner and CEO Jake Brookman said that his company is preparing for the so-called supercycle in the coin market, i.e. its active growth. With this in mind, the company has expanded its own investment team by six people, five of whom have joined over the past two to three months.

Cryptocurrency market growth

Evan Fisher of Portal Ventures reported on the anticipation of experienced project creators who have hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal, but were previously hesitant to get involved with crypto due to legal and regulatory risks. Here’s his quote.

We’re going to see the top project founders start to enter the world of cryptocurrencies much more actively.

In the future, venture capitalists expect cryptocurrency sectors involving artificial intelligence, decentralised finance, real-world asset tokenisation (RWA), stablecoins, infrastructure and payments to popularise.

Hack VC co-founder Ed Roman believes the combination of artificial intelligence and blockchain capabilities is “undeniably the sexiest category in the crypto industry right now.” Here’s his comment.

It’s a multi-trillion dollar market that is busy providing services to web2 generation customers. Artificial intelligence is not a passing fad like NFTs were. AI is creating real business value and is likely the most significant innovation in technology since mobile phones and the internet.

Galaxy Ventures general partner Will Nuell, on the other hand, is betting on the growing hype around DeFi platforms, stablecoins and crypto payments. Tokenisation, i.e. the digitisation of traditional assets based on blockchain, also deserves a mention.

After Trump’s inauguration, it will be evident that one of the biggest barriers to the adoption of stablecoins in payments in the form of banking relationships to interact with the fiat system has become much less significant. It is our hope and expectation that banks dealing correctly with cryptocurrencies will no longer fear reprisals from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or other agencies. Such a thing should make it easier for banks to integrate with an increasing number of scenarios involving stablecoins.


Overall, investors are voicing clear positivity about the future of the crypto industry. Obviously, they are counting on Donald Trump to fulfil a key promise about the coin market. Well, and the US, accordingly, will get adequate rules for regulating the sphere of digital assets.
