Second-Half 2025 Crypto Forecast: Bitcoin, Ether, Solana & More

Bitcoin (BTC) — the ETF locomotive

Current price: about $109 000

Large funds have already gathered more than eleven billion dollars, and you can feel it: the chart is drawing a classic cup-and-handle pattern. If the market breaks and holds $120 000, the technical target shifts toward $230 000. For now the picture looks like this:

1. Base corridor for Q3: $121 000–145 000
2. For Q4: $150 000–185 000
3. Optimistic year-end: $200 000 +

Ethereum (ETH) — “second fiddle” with its own orchestra

Price: around $2 600

Ether’s spot funds are younger, but the enthusiasm is no weaker: up to four billion dollars may flow in before year-end. Options desks are actively picking up December calls at $6 000—a clear hint where the market sees the top if demand squeezes supply.

1. Q3: $3 000–3 600
2. Q4: $3 800–4 800
3. If ETF inflows explode: room toward $5 500–6 000

Solana (SOL) — high expectations, fragile validators

Price: about $152

Standard Chartered still waves a $275 target for December, citing growing DeFi TVL and a steady influx of stable-coins. But one hiccup in the network can chop off ten to fifteen percent in a day. If major outages stay away, the ranges are roughly:

1. Q3: $170–210
2. Q4: $220–275
3. With full-on risk appetite and flawless uptime: $350–400

Tron (TRX) — unhurried but liquid

Price: just under $0.29

More than seventy-three billion dollars in USDT on board keep spreads tight and volatility tame. In a calm market a couple of cents up or down is standard fare. If stable-coin demand swells further, prices around $0.40–0.45 wouldn’t shock anyone.

1. Q3: $0.30–0.33
2. Q4: $0.33–0.36
3. Bullish “stretch”: $0.40–0.45

Toncoin (TON) — Telegram’s wild card

Price: about $2.8

The token took a beating in spring, but now everything hinges on integrating the wallet right into the messenger. A dip below $2 would show that progress is stalling; a clean break above $5 would prove the Telegram play is working.

1. Q3: $3.2–4.0
2. Q4: $4.0–4.6
3. With a lucky tailwind: $5–6

What could spoil the party

1. A sharp hawkish turn by the Fed. A stronger dollar usually hits risk assets hard.
2. An unexpected regulatory strike. One surprise lawsuit can put fund inflows on pause.
3. Technical outages. Especially painful for Solana; Tron occasionally “stutters” too.

The big picture still favors the bulls: recession fears in the U.S. have faded, and fresh money keeps flowing into crypto funds. The playbook is the same—build positions carefully, take profits on schedule, and remember that even the prettiest forecast is only a map, not the journey itself.
