$BTC

Bitcoin (BTC) is making waves in 2025, trading around $97,460 USDT as of May 7. Analysts are bullish on its trajectory, with forecasts ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 by year-end. Factors driving this optimism include the establishment of the U.S. Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which could significantly reduce market supply, and growing institutional adoption, especially among pension funds and sovereign wealth funds. Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick anticipates a new all-time high of $120,000 in Q2, with a year-end target of $200,000. However, caution is advised as the market remains volatile, with potential corrections expected along the way.
