Crypto finance service provider Bitcoin Suisse says the crypto bull market will continue in 2025, and projects that Ethereum staking exchange-traded funds could outperform Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Suisse shared the forecast in its outlook for the next year, with key points including the U.S. adopting a Bitcoin (BTC) strategic reserve as other countries follow and BTC trading to an all-time high above $180’000. The Swiss-regulated crypto startup also foresees financial giants stepping up to unveil institutional rollups on Ethereum (ETH).
However, one of its biggest projections for 2025 is that Ethereum-staking ETFs could surpass Bitcoin ETFs.
“While Bitcoin ETFs shattered records with $32B in net flows and IBIT now approaching $50B in AUM in just 225 trading days, we project a structural shift of flows into ETH ETFs in the post-election environment.”

Bitcoin Suisse points to key fundamentals for its Ethereum ETFs 2025 prediction. One of these is the risk-reward proposition Ether ETFs offer as institutional demand surges.
An example is the flip in capital flows in November, which had Ethereum ETFs outpacing Bitcoin ETFs in daily flows – $332.9 million for ETH compared to $320 million for BTC.
ETH’s underperformance was more due to Bitcoin having a head start as an established narrative. The regulatory headwinds that surrounded staking yields also contributed. Removing these bottlenecks could cause ETH ETFs to take off massively.
“Under the new Trump administration, we expect a swift approval for ETH staking in ETFs, eventually unlocking a 3-4% yield, which strongly caters to institutional allocators and is particularly compelling in a declining rate environment. We project that staking yields will disproportionately benefit Ethereum and emerge as the primary catalyst for sustained constructive flows into ETH ETFs.”
Other projections for 2025 include the approval of new crypto ETFs, the startup predicts. Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) lead this race, having seen multiple issuers file applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
