The cryptocurrency industry has hinted at expectations for expanded Bitcoin (BTC) demand from institutional investors in the second half of 2025, despite global financial market uncertainties. Analysis suggests that the regulatory clarification led by the United States will promote financial sector's full-scale entry into cryptocurrencies.
At the 'Paris Blockchain Week' event held in France on the 8th, Messari CEO Eric Turner and Sygnum Bank co-founder Thomas Eichenberger stated in a panel discussion that "banks' potential to introduce Bitcoin services will increase from the second half of 2025" and "regulatory agencies in the United States are showing a trend of accepting cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and banks' cryptocurrency services".
Turner emphasized that "while the second quarter this year may be relatively quiet, new market trends are likely to emerge from the third and fourth quarters" and predicted that "2025 will be a very interesting year for the cryptocurrency market".
While acknowledging that Donald Trump's pro-cryptocurrency stance is seen as a positive signal, they stressed that the overall institutional refinement is more crucial. Turner noted that "the key is that major US institutions, including the current market structure regulation, stablecoin legislation, and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are essentially accepting cryptocurrencies".
Eichenberger stated that "international banks with branches in the US are preparing cryptocurrency custody and spot trading services based on a clarified regulatory environment" and that "many global banks had already planned this, but previously postponed implementation due to potential sanctions from US regulatory authorities".
He further emphasized that "there is no longer a reason to fear regulatory authorities" and expects "major global banks to fully launch Bitcoin services within this year".
This suggests structural changes are underway not just for US banks, but also for foreign financial institutions operating in the US market to expand access to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. The possibility of the US's clear institutionalization spreading effects across the global financial sector is increasing.
If traditional financial institutions fully adopt cryptocurrency services, it is expected to have a positive impact not only on medium to long-term demand expansion for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, but also on establishing credibility and liquidity within the institutional framework.
