According to Odaily, a report released by cryptocurrency-focused asset management firm Sygnum Bank on December 12 suggests that a surge in institutional capital inflows could lead to a 'demand shock' for Bitcoin (BTC) in 2025, potentially causing a significant price increase. Sygnum's '2025 Crypto Market Outlook' report highlights that institutional capital movements have already had a 'multiplier effect' on BTC's spot price. Specifically, for every $1 billion net inflow into spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the price of BTC rises by approximately 3-6%. This dynamic is expected to accelerate in 2025 as large institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, endowment funds, and pension funds, increase their Bitcoin allocations. Sygnum further notes that this trend will only extend to altcoins if the United States enacts legislation supporting cryptocurrency adoption. Among the proposed laws, the '21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act' (FIT21) and the 'Stablecoin Payment Act' are particularly significant for the cryptocurrency sector. These legislative measures are seen as crucial for fostering a broader acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin, potentially impacting the market dynamics of various digital assets. The anticipation of these developments underscores the growing interest and involvement of institutional players in the cryptocurrency market, which could reshape the landscape in the coming years.

Sygnum Bank, an asset management company focused on cryptocurrencies, released a report on December 12, showing that a surge in institutional capital inflows could trigger a Bitcoin (BTC) "demand shock" in 2025, which could lead to a surge in BTC prices. Sygnum said in its "Crypto Market Outlook 2025" report that institutional capital flows have already had a "multiplier effect" on BTC's spot price, with every $1 billion in net inflows into spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) driving prices up by about 3-6%. This dynamic is expected to accelerate in 2025 as large institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, endowments, and pension funds, increase their Bitcoin allocations. Sygnum added that this trend will only extend to copycat cryptocurrencies if the United States passes laws that support cryptocurrency adoption. Among them, the proposed Financial Innovation and Technology Act of the 21st Century (FIT21) and the Payment Stablecoin Act are particularly important for cryptocurrencies.

According to PANews, Swiss cryptocurrency bank Sygnum has released its '2025 Crypto Market Outlook Report,' suggesting that the year 2025 could mark a significant turning point for the cryptocurrency market. The report anticipates that the continued influx of institutional investor funds, an improved regulatory environment, and the potential inclusion of Bitcoin in sovereign wealth funds and central bank reserves will drive cryptocurrency prices upward. The report highlights a shift in the stance of the U.S. government and regulatory bodies towards a more favorable outlook for cryptocurrency development. This regulatory improvement is expected to particularly benefit altcoins. However, the report also warns of potential risk factors that could limit market growth, such as inflationary pressures, tightening liquidity cycles, and the memecoin bubble. Furthermore, the report notes that innovation at the infrastructure level has become a focal point for the industry. While Ethereum faces challenges, emerging public blockchains are showing strong performance. Additionally, the report points out that the ability of private entities to capture project revenues and the lack of user growth for certain applications are also hindering the performance of altcoins.

According to Cointelegraph, El Salvador has entered into a mutual agreement with Argentina to enhance their digital asset sectors. This collaboration was formalized on December 11, when Juan Carlos Reyes, president of El Salvador's National Commission of Digital Assets (NCDA), and Roberto Silva, president of Argentina’s National Securities Commission (CNV), signed the agreement. The initiative aims to leverage El Salvador's technological expertise and Argentina's innovative blockchain industry to create a productive partnership. Reyes emphasized El Salvador's three-year lead in digital asset regulation, noting that one of the immediate benefits of the agreement will be the sharing of information, especially since Argentine companies are already registered in El Salvador. The partnership is expected to refine El Salvador's regulatory framework and deepen its understanding of the digital assets market. Reyes also revealed ongoing discussions with over 25 countries for similar crypto-focused partnerships, highlighting El Salvador's unconventional approach as a regulator, which differs from traditional central banks or legacy entities. To facilitate these international collaborations, El Salvador has assembled a team of over 20 Bitcoin and crypto experts. Reyes advised against delaying the establishment of regulations and urged adherence to Financial Action Task Force (FATF) recommendations to prevent scams and money laundering. He mentioned that El Salvador is close to finalizing two more agreements with other countries, reaffirming the team's commitment to assisting any nation interested in collaboration. Reyes concluded by stressing the importance of cross-border knowledge sharing to create a safe and effective regulatory environment, encouraging other regulators to adopt this approach.
