Fidelity Digital Assets’ January 7 report, “2025 Look Ahead”, highlights major trends that could shape the cryptocurrency industry in 2025.
One key prediction is the growing role of Bitcoin
$95,148.26
in government reserves. Matt Hogan, a research analyst at Fidelity Digital Assets, suggests that more governments, central banks, and sovereign wealth funds may follow the examples of Bhutan and El Salvador by adding Bitcoin to their strategic reserves.
These nations have seen notable returns from their investments, and Hogan argues that avoiding Bitcoin altogether could become riskier than adopting it, especially with the rising inflation and fiscal pressures.

Hogan also points out that if countries like the United States plan to include Bitcoin in their reserves, other nations might begin quietly accumulating the asset. He explains that announcing such decisions could drive up demand and prices.
Another report focus is tokenization, described as a game-changer for 2025. Tokenization, which involves representing real-world assets on the blockchain, is expected to expand, with on-chain value projected to grow from $14 billion to $30 billion by the end of the year.
Fidelity Digital Assets believes tokenization’s potential is only beginning to be realized, especially in financial services, where it can create more efficient and transparent systems.
The company also predicts that digital asset-focused funds, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum
$3,351.61
exchange-traded funds (ETFs), will gain widespread acceptance. Hogan describes this development as a step toward bringing digital assets into traditional finance systems.
Fidelity Digital Assets anticipates more managed investment products tailored to cryptocurrencies becoming available, both passively and actively managed.
Meanwhile, Steno Research predicts that major digital assets will achieve new milestones in 2025. What did they report? Read the full story.
