In a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry, Binance CEO Richard Teng has predicted that Bitcoin will reach an all-time high in 2025, citing regulatory clarity and policy shifts in the United States as key drivers. This prediction comes amidst growing support for cryptocurrencies from U.S. lawmakers and regulators, particularly under the Trump administration’s emphasis on digital financial innovation and stablecoins.
Regulatory Changes and Their Impact
The Trump administration’s executive order has brought a significant shift in the regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. According to Teng, this order emphasizes digital financial innovation, supports stablecoins, and rejects Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The new leadership of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has also shown an intention to incorporate crypto assets into the financial framework[1][2].
Teng pointed out that these changes, coupled with Trump’s plan to establish a U.S. strategic Bitcoin reserve, will bring “certainty” and “recognition” to the industry. This regulatory clarity is expected to be a key driver of Bitcoin’s resurgence and record highs in 2025.
Expert Insights
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Teng emphasized the importance of regulatory clarity for the growth of the cryptocurrency industry. “Looking at past cycles, this year will be a record-breaking year for the cryptocurrency industry,” he stated. Teng also highlighted the favorable legislative environment in the U.S., noting that both the House and Senate are supportive of cryptocurrencies, and legislation regarding token issuance, trading, and asset management is likely to progress further[3].
Stablecoins and Their Role
Meanwhile, former Binance.US CEO Brian Shroder has emphasized the importance of stablecoins in solving real-world problems in traditional finance. Shroder, who is now the founder of 1Money Network, believes that a stablecoin network optimized for global payments in localized currencies could address many of the issues plaguing traditional finance. He envisions a global network powered by stablecoins representing all major currencies, facilitating peer-to-peer transfers, e-commerce purchases, and cross-border remittances[4].

The regulatory clarity and policy shifts in the United States are expected to drive the growth of the cryptocurrency industry, particularly Bitcoin, to new highs in 2025.
