Coinbase Predicts Major Crypto Transformation by 2025

In its recent Crypto Market Outlook 2025, Coinbase highlighted a significant transformation in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin (BTC) maintaining its dominance and stablecoins emerging as key drivers of adoption.

The report emphasized that Bitcoin's market share exceeded 60% in December 2024, its highest level since 2021, driven by the launch of spot BTC ETFs in the US earlier that year. Major institutional players such as BlackRock, Fidelity, and Franklin Templeton contributed to $30.4 billion in net inflows, with long-term holders now controlling approximately 69% of Bitcoin's supply.

Stablecoins also experienced explosive growth, settling over $27.1 trillion in transactions by November 2024. The report forecasts a market surge reaching $3 trillion in value within five years, fueled by increasing utility in payments and cross-border remittances. Additionally, the tokenization of real-world assets surged by over 60% in 2024, highlighting crypto's evolving role in traditional finance.
