Bitcoin (BTC) 
$105,981 is increasingly recognized as a mainstream investment due to the surge in institutional interest. A report by WisdomTree highlights that demand for this asset class is rapidly growing, compelling investors to reassess their strategies. The report emphasizes that portfolios holding Bitcoin have outperformed those that do not contain the leading cryptocurrency.
Spot ETFs and Altcoin ETPs Gain Momentum
The approval of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. in 2024 has paved the way for cryptocurrencies to gain a foothold in mainstream finance. Positive developments in this sphere are anticipated to continue into 2025.
WisdomTree notes that the regulatory environment in the U.S. has become more favorable under the Trump administration, supporting the proliferation of altcoin exchange-traded products (ETPs) globally. The diversification of new investment vehicles for altcoins such as Solana’s SOL coin and Ripple 
$3‘s XRP is expected to provide greater investment opportunities in the market.
WisdomTree analyst Dovile Silenskyte stated, “The rise of altcoin ETPs will accelerate the integration of cryptocurrencies into the global financial system.”
Ethereum, Solana, and the Growing Role of Stablecoins
Ethereum (ETH) 
$3,328 continues to serve as the fundamental infrastructure for DeFi, NFT, and Web3 applications. However, scalability issues within the network remain significant hurdles. WisdomTree predicts that recent updates in Ethereum will lead to an increase in the adoption of Layer-2 solutions.
Furthermore, the report highlights the growing importance of stablecoins in the global financial system, emphasizing that networks like Solana 
$250, with their rapid transaction capabilities, provide an ideal infrastructure in this space. It is forecasted that the use of tokenized assets will rise substantially in 2025, transforming various sectors, particularly private equity. The representation of real-world assets on Blockchain will bring significant modifications to the financial system.
