Bitcoin (BTC) Could Target a Price Range between $145,000 and $249,000 in 2025: CryptoQuant

According to CryptoQuant's latest weekly report, Bitcoin (BTC) could target a price range between $145,000 and $249,000 in 2025.

Bitcoin (BTC) price could reach “at least” $145,000 in 2025, thanks to fresh capital inflows and favorable crypto regulations, according to the latest weekly report by CryptoQuant.

The report highlights that Bitcoin’s realized market capitalization, which represents the total USD value of each BTC at the last point it moved on-chain, has a more-than-proportional effect on the digital asset’s market value and price.

If the market follows historical patterns, then the $520 billion in fresh capital inflows to BTC could become a reality. This fresh capital injection could push BTC price to anywhere between $145,000 to $249,000, since the expansion in BTC’s realized capitalization has a more-than-proportional effect on the digital asset’s market value and price.

The report adds that institutional investors, particularly addresses holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC, are contributing the most to the market’s capital inflows. These addresses largely represent institutional-grade custodial services and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Notably, institutional participants increased their Bitcoin holdings by $127 billion in 2024, reflecting robust confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term potential. Additionally, the final year of Bitcoin’s four-year cycle is often associated with significant price surges for the asset.

All Eyes On US Federal Reserve

While many crypto analysts and market commentators maintain an optimistic outlook for Bitcoin in 2025, some express caution regarding the potential impact of the US Federal Reserve’s (Fed) delayed interest rate cuts amid inflation concerns and subdued retail investor participation.

For instance, a recent report by 10x Research noted that delayed interest rate cuts by the Fed could dampen BTC’s bullish momentum. Further, data from CME FedWatch indicates a 97.3% probability that the Fed will leave the rates untouched during the Federal Open Market Committee meeting later this month.

That said, asset manager Sygnum posits that BTC is likely to face demand shocks as more institutional investors embrace the emerging asset. At press time, BTC trades at $99,309, up 2.9% in the past 24 hours.
