- A larger crypto bull run is anticipated in 2025, considering favorable metrics.
- AltSeason is also expected to follow a bull run in 2025.
- Increasing institutional flows, favorable regulatory environment, and AI crypto trend contribute to the upcoming bull market.
While 2025 had a dull start in terms of the market prices of leading cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether, a larger crypto bull run is yet to come this year. Despite market cycles following a pattern, allowing us to predict what comes next, each cycle is unique when new factors enter the market.
This time, some of the new factors that entered the crypto market are large institutional investment into Bitcoin and Ether Spot ETFs, Trump’s re-election, and rise of new trends such as AI crypto tokens. From industry officials to trading analysts and common investors, everyone firmly believes that 2025 is going to witness a bigger crypto bull run.
Historically, crypto bull runs are taking place a few months after the Bitcoin halving event. As the fourth Bitcoin halving event occurred in April 2024, a crypto bull run was obvious to come in the next few months. While we have seen a short crypto bull run by the end of 2024, it is just a beginning. The market is yet to witness a crypto bull trend in full bloom in 2025, along with AltSeason.
Factors That Drive 2025 Crypto Bull Run
Institutional Investment
Bitcoin raised to be one of the top assets in the world, thanks to its ever-increasing market capitalization and investor optimism. The approval of BTC and ETH spot ETFs had brought a new facet to the industry, attracting substantial institutional capital.
A large sum of institutional investments into Bitcoin and its ETF have fostered Bitcoin dominance over altcoins in 2024. This could be one of the major reasons why Bitcoin dominance is prolonged in this bull run.
Market Liquidity
Another factor we must take into consideration is liquidity and regulatory frameworks. The drop in interest rates in the US in 2023 and 2024 encouraged crypto investments, which increased crypto market liquidity. This is a key metric for any trading market for its growth and development.
Regulatory Frameworks
On the other hand, Trump’s election in 2024, combined with global countries coming forward to regulate the industry is good news for crypto. The EU’s MiCA has already started regulating the industry in European countries, along with other nations and cities across the world. If the bill to form a strategic Bitcoin reserve in the US passed, it will further push the crypto market to new highs. The election of pro-crypto Trump has itself made Bitcoin to reach a new ATH of above $100,000.
Rise of AI in Crypto
The rise of AI narrative will also play a big role in the upcoming crypto bull run. Top AI tokens have already been performing exceptionally well. The AI narrative is even outperforming the memecoin trend in crypto. In particular, AI agents are emerging as a trend of their own. With innovation and development at the intersection of AI and blockchain, this narrative will continue its dominance in 2025. And, it will be a crucial segment of the market that contributes to the upcoming bigger bull run.
Inevitable AltSeason
Historically, altseason comes at the end of a crypto bull run. But, we cannot yet completely estimate when it starts and how long it will stay this time. Because, market cycles may repeat but each cycle is unique in its own way as new factors come into play. While altseason is inevitable in 2025 crypto bull run as well, we might not see an altseason of 2021 bull run level.
Final Words
Overall, a bigger crypto bull run is yet to come this year, bringing new ATH values for Bitcoin and altcoins. Analysts predict the bull run might last till September this year. No matter the timelines, we are about to go on a bull ride in 2025 and this time will be different compared to previous bull runs.
