The post Bitcoin ($BTC) “demand shocks” and big price increases expected in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Swiss-based Sygnum Bank has just released a report detailing what it forecasts to be “demand shocks” and big price increases for Bitcoin in 2025.  Report predicts price increases based on institutional buying Sygnum Bank is a crypto-focussed asset manager based in Switzerland.
