Franklin Templeton predicts Bitcoin (BTC) will strengthen its position as a global financial asset in 2025. Rising adoption by sovereign nations and institutional investors will drive this growth. Bitcoin will become a key player in global finance.
Sovereign Nations to Embrace Bitcoin
The Digital Assets: 2025 Crypto Outlook report anticipates that several countries will adopt Bitcoin as part of their strategic reserves. This move will reinforce Bitcoin’s reputation as a digital store of value, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainty.
Institutional Adoption to Fuel Growth
Institutional investors are expected to increase their exposure to Bitcoin. Traditional financial institutions will embed the asset further into mainstream markets as they seek long-term value.
Regulatory Clarity Drives Innovation
Franklin Templeton highlights the need for regulatory clarity to unlock Bitcoin’s potential. Clearer regulations will create more investment products, like Bitcoin ETFs and tokenized securities tied to blockchain assets.
The firm believes the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will help establish a favorable regulatory environment. According to the report:
“Favorable regulation will allow the US to reestablish itself as a global hub for crypto innovation.”
Stablecoin Regulations Coming Soon
The report expects stablecoin regulations to emerge soon. These changes will allow major financial institutions to issue their own stablecoins, boosting liquidity, innovation, and cross-border payments.
AI and Blockchain Convergence
Franklin Templeton notes the growing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with blockchain. AI tools will automate on-chain transactions, portfolio management, and DeFi activities.
Infrastructure Innovation
The firm also points to Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN). These networks will transform sectors like logistics, energy distribution, and the Internet of Things (IoT) with secure, efficient, and transparent alternatives.
Moving Toward Practical Utility
Franklin Templeton predicts 2025 will mark a shift in the crypto market. The focus will move from speculative trading to real-world applications. Foundational crypto technologies will become essential to global financial systems. This change will highlight the market’s maturity and drive greater adoption of digital assets.
