Bitcoin has seen significant volatility in 2025. After hitting an all-time high of over $109,000 at the start of the year, the price has since corrected to $100,900 as investors booked profits.
The market’s optimism has been fueled by the surge in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year. There are now 12 Bitcoin ETFs managing assets worth over $100 billion, helping to boost the cryptocurrency’s price.
President Donald Trump’s appointment of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins as SEC chairman has boosted market confidence, helping to boost Bitcoin’s price.
The outlook for 2025 remains bullish. Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick expects Bitcoin to hit $200,000 by the end of the year, driven by institutional investment in ETFs. Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, predicts a price increase of up to $500,000, citing data from artificial intelligence.
However, the cryptocurrency market remains unpredictable. Investors are advised to closely monitor market trends and make informed decisions.
