Bitmart Research Projects Bitcoin ETFs Could Attract $50 Billion in Inflows, Boosting AUM to $150 Billion

According to Bitmart Researchs 2025 crypto outlook, bitcoin ETFs are expected to attract a large amount of capital inflows.

Crypto Inflows Set for Record Year

Bitmart Research has predicted that net inflows for bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could exceed $50 billion in 2025 with assets under management (AUM) expected to exceed $150 billion. This forecast is based on the U.S. stopping its interest rate cuts, government debt expansion, and President Trumps bullish stance on cryptocurrency.

The report estimates that the inflow of funds into bitcoin ETFs will extend to ether ETFs along with a strong possibility for the approval of a Solana ETF in 2025.

Memecoins are projected to retain a key role in this market cycle with user participation driven by Solanas low cost and high performance. Other layer 2 chains such as Base and Sui are expected to benefit from the spillover effect of memecoins growth.

The growth of Artificial intelligence (AI) projects will continue with AI memes backed by agents continuing to issue many meme tokens. The stablecoin market value is projected to exceed $250 billion based on expansion of market demand and favorable regulation.

It is anticipated that the real-world assets (RWA) market will also grow rapidly and could reach a value of $40 billion in 2025. Traditional assets will gain new life as conventional financial institutions participate more in the crypto market, particularly in U.S. Treasury bonds, corporate debt, and real estate.

Decentralized finance (defi) will benefit from a more lenient regulatory environment, drawing interest from traditional financial institutions by offering high yields throughout the interest rate decline.
