Bitcoin at $200,000, Ethereum at $10,000, and an unprecedented rise for Solana : The new predictions for 2025 !

As the year 2025 looms on the horizon, crypto investors closely monitor the forecasts of major financial institutions. The latest report from Standard Chartered anticipates a major upheaval among the leading cryptos, with Solana (SOL) potentially surpassing Ethereum (ETH), and even Bitcoin (BTC), should Donald Trump be re-elected as the President of the United States. Beyond typical fluctuations, the correlation between U.S. economic policies and the evolution of cryptos is highlighted.

Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin : the big winners of 2025 ?

According to Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Crypto Research at Standard Chartered, the Solana price could be multiplied by five by the end of 2025, especially if Donald Trump is re-elected. “This high valuation assumes a transaction rate increase of 100 to 400 times on Solana in the coming years, a more plausible scenario under a Trump administration, which is favorable to these assets, than a Harris administration,” he stated. Thus, Kendrick explains that under a Trump presidency, the crypto sector would likely benefit from a more conducive development framework.

In comparison, Ethereum is expected to see a fourfold increase in value, reaching 10,000 dollars under a Trump administration, while Bitcoin could peak at 200,000 dollars by the end of 2025. Kendrick also notes that Solana is currently valued at 250 times its market cap/fee ratio, compared to 121 times for Ethereum, indicating particularly strong growth expectations for Solana.

Trump or Harris : divergent scenarios for the future of cryptos

One of the most crucial points of the Standard Chartered report is the influence of U.S. presidential elections on the crypto market. According to Kendrick, a Trump presidency would foster a more “crypto-friendly” environment, supporting the rapid growth of Solana and Ethereum. Thus, “Under a Trump administration, Solana could significantly outperform Ethereum, while Ethereum would outperform Bitcoin,” he stated. Favorable policies for technological innovation and deregulation under Trump would drive this dynamic.

Conversely, a Kamala Harris presidency could reverse these trends. In this scenario, Standard Chartered anticipates that Bitcoin would surpass Ethereum, while Solana would lag. The price outlook for Ethereum would then be revised downward to around 7,000 dollars. This reversal would be explained by a less favorable economic environment for digital innovation and stricter regulations.

If these forecasts illustrate the growing importance of political decisions in the evolution of cryptos, they also underscore the uncertainty hovering over the market. Indeed, whether under Trump or Harris, investors must stay alert to political and economic signals to adjust their strategies. In any case, Solana, Ethereum, and Bitcoin all seem poised for significant growth by 2025, with different trajectories depending on the outcome of the U.S. elections.
