PANews reported on December 31st that, according to DLNews, Bitcoin price predictions for 2025 have become a hot topic in the crypto industry, but the predictions of several prominent figures have fallen far short of actual performance. Despite a buoyant start to the year fueled by institutional adoption, ETF inflows, and pro-crypto policies, macroeconomic headwinds and investor fatigue led to a 10% drop in Bitcoin's price for the year, failing to maintain the strong momentum seen at the beginning of the year. Below is a comparison of the predictions and actual results from several prominent figures:

  • Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, repeatedly predicted a surge in Bitcoin prices, stating in early 2025 that Bitcoin would surpass $200,000. However, influenced by US President Trump's tariff policies, Bitcoin fell below $80,000 in April. Despite this, Hayes maintained that it would reach $150,000 by the end of the year, even predicting $200,000 in November, but the final price of Bitcoin was only $86,000.

  • Tom Lee of Fundstrat predicted Bitcoin would reach $250,000 by the end of 2025, but due to market volatility, he lowered his forecast to over $100,000 in November. However, Bitcoin's price was only $86,000 on December 19, about 17% lower than his latest prediction.

  • Michael Saylor: MicroStrategy co-founder Saylor predicted at the beginning of the year that Bitcoin's price would reach $150,000 by the end of the year, but as of December, Bitcoin's price was still far below that target, a deviation of nearly 80%. Nevertheless, Saylor remains optimistic about its long-term performance, predicting that Bitcoin will reach $20 million per coin within 20 years.

Despite the fact that Bitcoin prices failed to surge as expected in 2025, many industry insiders remain optimistic about the long-term potential of the crypto market.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government.

He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities.
