Deutsche Bank: Bitcoin Maintains a Bullish Outlook With Prices Likely to Stay Elevated.

Deutsche Bank: Bitcoin’s Bullish Outlook Hinges on Favorable U.S. Policies and Institutional Adoption

The outlook for Bitcoin (BTC) remains positive for 2025, with prices expected to stay elevated, according to a report published Wednesday by Deutsche Bank (DB).

Key factors such as a favorable regulatory and political environment in the U.S., rising institutional adoption, and a more accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve are expected to underpin Bitcoin’s price strength, the report noted.

“The Trump administration’s pro-crypto stance is a significant driver of the ongoing bull run, and sustained presidential support will be critical to the continuation of the ‘golden era of crypto,’” Deutsche Bank analyst Marion Laboure wrote.

Although President Trump did not issue any crypto-related executive orders on his first day in office, the announcement that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) would develop a regulatory framework for digital assets marks an essential step toward reshaping the industry, the report added.

The appointment of Paul Atkins as SEC Chair further signals a shift toward innovation-friendly policies that could accelerate the growth of digital assets, Deutsche Bank said.

On the global stage, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, which took effect in December, has added legitimacy and security to the EU’s crypto markets, the report highlighted.

Deutsche Bank also noted the possibility of greater clarity on the potential establishment of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, which could be revealed in the first quarter of 2025. Such a reserve would further cement Bitcoin’s status as a globally recognized asset and bolster its price stability.
