But will this momentum continue in 2025? A new <a href="https://coinshares.com/en/d/resources/research/2025-outlook/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">report by CoinShares</a> suggests that the next Trump administration could bring sweeping regulatory changes that might shape the future of crypto.   
Here’s a closer look at the trends that could define the year ahead.

The election of <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/donald-trump-wins-2024-us-election-crypto-voters-play-a-key-role-in-victory/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Donald Trump</a>, a strong advocate for cryptocurrency, over Kamala Harris, known for her cautious approach, has shifted the U.S. political landscape in favor of the crypto industry. During his campaign, Trump vowed to protect the sector from what he called “overregulation.”   
CoinShares predicts that Trump—set to take office on January 25, 2025—will bring major changes to <a href="https://coinpedia.org/cryptocurrency-regulation/cryptocurrency-regulation-in-the-usa/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">crypto regulations.</a> The report highlights plans to support Bitcoin miners, particularly those focused exclusively on Bitcoin operations.   
Institutional Investors's Role   
Currently, only 20% of Bitcoin ETFs’ Assets Under Management (AUM) are controlled by institutional investors. The report suggests that increased participation from these investors could drive substantial growth in the market.

An important trend highlighted in the report is the growing use of Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset. Companies like MicroStrategy, Block, Marathon Digital, and Metaplant are using Bitcoin in innovative ways. The report identifies three popular strategies:

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-layer-2-solutions-on-the-rise">Layer 2 Solutions on the Rise</h2>   
Leading companies such as Amazon, Shopify, and Nike are making strides to integrate cryptocurrencies into their payment systems. The report forecasts that some of these giants might even add Bitcoin to their treasuries in the coming year.   
The report also notes that Layer 2 blockchains are gaining more attention from institutional players. Ethereum’s Pectra Upgrade is expected to enhance efficiency, while validator clients like Frankendancer and Firedancer aim to improve Solana’s scalability and performance.   
In conclusion, CoinShares’s 2025 predictions highlight promising developments for the crypto sector, particularly Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
