Investors see crypto markets peaking in H2 2025: Survey

Investors expect cryptocurrencyโ€™s bull run to continue into 2025 and peak in the second half of the year, MV Global, a Web3 investing firm, told Cointelegraph on Nov. 11.

Nearly half of investors anticipate a market top in the second half of 2025, MV Global said, citing a survey of 77 large cryptocurrency investors, including venture firms, hedge funds and high-net-worth individuals.

โ€œThis seems to be a very popular opinion and, therefore, very likely priced into markets,โ€ noted Tom Dunleavy, a managing partner at MV Global.

Bitcoin (BTC) is expected to top somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000 per coin, MV Global said.

Investors are especially bullish on Solana (SOL), with 30% predicting a peak of more than $600 before the end of the cycle, according to the survey.

โ€œSolana is a consensus long among almost every allocator we spoke to,โ€ Dunleavy said.

Sentiment on Ether (ETH) was mixed. One-third expect only modest gains, with ETH topping between $3,000 and $5,000. Another third sees ETH hitting up to $7,000 before the end of the market cycle, according to the survey.

โ€œBeing bullish on ETH is now a decidedly contrarian bet,โ€ Dunleavy said.
