VanEck Predicts Significant Growth in DeFi Trading Volumes for 2025 – BitRss

VanEck, a prominent asset management firm, has projected a substantial increase in decentralized finance (DeFi) trading volumes in the coming year. According to VanEck’s analysts, decentralized exchange (DEX) volumes are expected to account for one-fifth of the spot trading volumes on centralized exchanges (CEX) by 2025.

Forecasts for DeFi and DEX Volumes

The analysts noted that while DEX trading volumes have hit record levels both in absolute terms and compared to centralized exchanges, they still fall 24% short of the all-time high total value locked (TVL) in DeFi. They anticipate that DEX trading volumes will exceed $4 trillion by 2025, driven by the rising popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) related tokens and new consumer-focused decentralized applications (DApps).

Crypto Market and Price Predictions

VanEck’s analysts expect that tokenized securities and high-value assets will accelerate DeFi growth, provide new liquidity, and expand use cases. Consequently, they predict that the TVL in DeFi will surpass $200 billion by the end of 2025.
