According to Ryan Rasmussen of Bitwise, the 2025 Mid-Year Crypto Predictions Update outlines critical trends such as the anticipated growth in Bitcoin ETF inflows and the expansion of Ethereum staking, which are expected to drive increased institutional participation and market liquidity (source: Bitwise Twitter broadcast). Rasmussen highlights that the broader adoption of real-world asset tokenization could boost DeFi trading volumes and attract traditional finance investors, impacting major altcoins and DeFi tokens (source: Bitwise Twitter broadcast). These developments are likely to influence short- and medium-term trading strategies, particularly for traders seeking exposure to blue-chip crypto assets and emerging DeFi platforms.
