120% growth! Bitcoin outperformed most asset classes last year — will the momentum sustain for cryptos in 2025? | Stock Market News
Bitcoin, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency, demonstrated 120 per cent growth in 2024, outperforming most asset classes. However, its record-breaking run slowed at the end of 2024 and into the New Year 2025, leading to the token’s first monthly drop since August 2024, according to a Bloomberg report.
Bitcoin slipped 3.2 per cent in December as investors began cashing profits following the sustained rally in the lead-up to the inauguration of Donald Trump as the 47th president of the United States on January 20, 2025.
Bitcoin Outperformed Gold, Equities
The Trump-backed crypto fever pushed Bitcoin to an all-time high of $108,315 mid-December before US Federal Reserve decisions cooled the high. Still, the cryptocurrency has notched a 120 per cent gain through 2024, outperforming gold and global equities, as per the report. Bitcoin has also more than doubled in 2023 in a “comeback,” the report added. Interestingly, cocoa was among the few assets that beat even the crypto comeback.
And while investors and market watchers largely dipped into the Bitcoin pie, other crypto tokens also saw an influx. Meme-favourite Dogecoin rose 253 per cent—for example, a $10,000 investment in the token would have netted one $35,345 in return.
New All-time Highs?
- Edul Patel, CEO and co-founder, Mudrex, told Livemint that the outlook for 2025 is “even more promising” than 2024 due to the pro-crypto leadership at the SEC, CFTC, and the US White House working towards crypto-friendly regulations. “With better regulatory clarity from the US, the institutional interest in crypto is set to get stronger, bringing in higher inflows into the ETFs. On the other hand, countries like China, Canada, EU nations, and the Middle East are easing restrictions, creating a healthy environment for wider crypto adoption. These developments create a strong pipeline for the crypto industry, making 2025 a critical year in taking crypto investing mainstream. As adoption increases and the market matures, Bitcoin could potentially reach $150,000 by the end of the year, creating new milestones for the industry,” he added.
- Dr Sujata Seshadrinathan, Director of IT and Process, Basiz Fund Services, told Livemint she sees expectations from analysts for Bitcoin reaching life-time highs of $190,000-$200,000 in 2025. The Indian markets, she felt will see some large crypto trading platforms re-entering with due compliance to relevant government regulations. “Overall, 2025 could see regulatory clarity and protocols being established for the use of cryptocurrencies. This will mean moderation and controlled fluctuations in prices, with investor protection and institutional adoption moving well ahead on an upward trajectory,” Dr Seshadrinathan said.
- Kumar Gaurav, founder of Cashaa, speaking to Livemint echoed sentiments of Bitcoin surpassing the $150,000 level. “In 2025, I expect Bitcoin to conservatively surpass at least $150,000, fueled by increased institutional adoption, the approval of spot ETFs, and its strengthening role as a hedge against economic uncertainties,” he said. Gaurav also anticipates growth in the broader crypto markets and an increase in real-world applications. “I believe 2025 will mark a transformative year for crypto, positioning it as a cornerstone of the global financial system and accelerating mass adoption,” he stated.

New UK-based program allows first-time users to begin regulated Bitcoin mining with no upfront costs or hardware requirements
LONDON, June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DN Miner, a FCA regulated crypto platform, has announced a new initiative that offers free cloud mining access to newly registered users. The program is designed to provide a hands-on introduction to Bitcoin mining without the technical barriers traditionally associated with the process.
By offering complimentary starting balances upon account creation, DN Miner allows individuals to engage in short-term cloud mining contracts using its hosted mining infrastructure. This setup enables users to observe and understand how cryptocurrency mining functions in practice—without investing in specialized equipment or software.
Available mining contracts vary in duration and estimated yield, giving users the ability to select options aligned with their comfort level and goals. Once minimum balance thresholds are reached, users can request withdrawals through multiple supported channels. In an effort to maintain simplicity.
Mining Contract Options:
| Contract Term | Contract Price | Daily Reward | Total Reward(Principal Returned) | Daily Return Rate | ||
| 1 day | $350 | $10.5 | $350+$10.5 | 3.0% | ||
| 3 day | $500 | $16 | $500 + $48 | 3.2% | ||
| 4 days | $1000 | $35 | $1000 + $140 | 3.5% | ||
| 5 days | $3000 | $114 | $3000 + $570 | 3.8% | ||
| 2 days | $12000 | $576 | $12000+$1152 | 4.8% | ||
The company notes that while the platform is accessible to beginners, the underlying activity of mining remains subject to market-driven volatility. Factors such as network difficulty, asset valuation, and mining congestion can influence daily returns. DN Miner encourages users to consider these variables when evaluating their participation in digital asset operations.
DN Miner operates under regulatory supervision by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This oversight ensures that the platform maintains a high standard of transparency, user data security, and legal compliance. All mining infrastructure is hosted in certified data centers that use industrial-grade ASIC equipment to support consistent uptime and competitive performance across supported cryptocurrencies.

According to a company spokesperson, projections for 2026 include Bitcoin reaching $150,000, Litecoin reaching $200, Dogecoin surpassing $1, and XRP hitting $10. The company describes the app as a timely release aligned with these expectations. Their stated aim is to enhance convenience and flexibility in cloud mining services.
