Deutsche Bank Optimistic on Bitcoin’s Future, Cites Positive U.S. Policy and Institutional Adoption as Key Drivers
Deutsche Bank (DB) has shared a positive outlook for bitcoin (BTC) in 2025, predicting that its price will remain elevated throughout the year due to several key factors. According to the bank’s report released Wednesday, a more favorable regulatory and political climate in the U.S., coupled with growing institutional adoption and a looser Federal Reserve monetary policy, will continue to support the cryptocurrency’s price.
Analyst Marion Laboure emphasized that the ongoing support from the Trump administration is crucial to the continuation of “crypto’s golden era.” Although President Trump did not sign any crypto-related executive orders on his first day in office, the announcement that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will work on a new regulatory framework for digital assets is a significant step forward for the industry.
The report also pointed to the appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC chair, signaling a shift towards a more innovation-friendly approach. In addition, the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation in the EU is seen as enhancing the legitimacy and security of the European crypto market.
Finally, Deutsche Bank suggested that more clarity on the potential establishment of a U.S. bitcoin reserve could emerge in the first quarter of 2025.
