The Cryptocurrency market outlook for 2025 Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) highlights five major trends set to define the cryptocurrency market in the coming year, with stablecoins, tokenization, and regulatory change coming first.
Stablecoins remain the “killer app” of cryptocurrencies, with market capitalization increasing 48% in 2024 to reach $193 billion as of December 1.
Coinbase expects this trend to accelerate, moving beyond trading to encompass more widespread adoption in the realm of global trade and capital flows.
The report estimates that stablecoin transaction volume will exceed $27 trillion in 2024, three times more than the previous year.
Tokenization of real-world assets is another key focus area, which has grown more than 60% to reach $13.5 billion by 2024.
Coinbase believes that the tokenization of real-world assets will simplify financial transactions and expand into areas such as private credit, corporate bonds, real estate and commodities.
On the institutional landscape, the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs has redefined demand dynamics, so Coinbase expects further developments.
The possible approval of ETF for XRP (CRYPTO:XRP), Solarium (CRYPTO: SOL) and Litecoin (CRYPTO: LTC) could boost short-term demand to a limited extent.
However, innovations such as allowing in-kind creations or staking could significantly improve the attractiveness of ETFs by narrowing the price range and improving alignment with net asset values.
