Outlook for cryptocurrencies in 2025

- Increasing Interest: Institutions continue to show interest in cryptocurrencies, especially in assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Investment firms, family offices, and hedge funds are looking at crypto as both an asset class and a hedge against inflation.
- Crypto Futures and ETFs: Products like crypto ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) and crypto futures contracts are making it easier for institutional investors to enter the market. Kraken's acquisition of NinjaTrader, for example, highlights the growing importance of crypto derivatives and future markets.
