VanEck Predicts Bitcoin Rally to $180K by End 2025

Investment manager VanEck has reaffirmed its bullish prediction that Bitcoin could reach $180,000 by the end of 2025, citing strong institutional adoption, regulatory support, and growing inflows into Bitcoin ETFs as key drivers. Since President Donald Trump's re-election, U.S. crypto policies have become more favorable, encouraging corporate treasury allocations and increased demand from institutional investors, with over 3.67 million BTC held by 294 entities and nearly $55 billion net inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs. VanEck highlights that large holders, or whales, have accumulated an additional 225,320 BTC since early 2025, signaling confidence among major investors. Despite some short-term volatility and market uncertainties, VanEck emphasizes that macroeconomic developments and seasonal investor behavior could either extend Bitcoin's momentum or lead to profit-taking, but overall market dynamics support their optimistic price target. The firm also notes that Bitcoin's relatively low volatility, driven by corporate capital, benefits the market but cautions prolonged low volatility could impact capital raising for further corporate purchases. While some analysts point to potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, currently pressured by President Trump, as a factor that could further boost Bitcoin's price, the overall outlook remains positive due to continued institutional and corporate interest.
