David Bailey, the CEO of Bitcoin Inc. and a former adviser to Donald Trump’s Bitcoin policy team, reckons that Bitcoin will not be in a bear market for several more years.
The price of Bitcoin is expected to increase due to high institutional demand, as led by Bailey, who is currently the lead of Bitcoin Magazine.
Institutional Demand Still in Early Stages
Bailey said institutional adoption of Bitcoin is yet to gain momentum. Recently on X, he added that less than one percent of institutions worldwide hold Bitcoin. Of those who do, the allocation is very small. According to Bailey, this leaves the latent demands almost intact.
A lot of potential food sources for the toad it seems

As he stressed, the market is yet to reach a liquidity level of more than $1 trillion. In his opinion, the prospects of further progress towards the level of 1 million dollars per Bitcoin remain unexhausted. According to Bailey, the entry point is the sovereign wealth funds, pension companies, insurance companies, and banks; hence, they will eventually venture into the market. He continued that the adoption is already underway.
Skepticism Remains Among Analysts and Traders
Some market observers have at least moderated this high optimism. The WealthMindBody channel, a YouTuber, refuted the prediction. He mentioned that this has been said in other cycles as well, all of which still adhered to classical market developments.
In response, Bailey emphasised a change in buyer profile. He said institutions’ past investments in Bitcoin were independent. He is currently witnessing concerted buy-in from the key players in the financial field. This stage, saving for these 31 years, can be characterized as the eternal September of institutional adoption.
Market Still Tied to Broader Economic Trends
Analysts advise that traditional finance continues to affect crypto markets. Zheng ZX Squared Capital said that cryptocurrency prices continue to be coupled to stocks. A crumbling stock market may result in an equal reaction to digital assets.
Anticipated interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, which may start in September, may benefit risk-based assets, such as Bitcoin. Low rates tend to promote more investments in speculative markets. The trend may still be reversed, however, by new macroeconomic shocks no one can foresee.
According to risk analyst Pav Hundal, risk conditions are a current factor favoring Bitcoin. Although upward momentum is probable, there may as well be a bear market. Hundal pointed out that lower volatility can aid stable growth, but it can be negatively affected by more rate increases.
History has revealed that Bitcoin does well in the midyear months following a halving. However, September had a record of losses, particularly a 7.44% decline in 2017.
