The crypto market is preparing for a new bull rally, as analysts from major firms like Fundstrat, BlackRock, Ark Invest, and Standard Chartered raise their Bitcoin forecasts. This heightens investor expectations and confirms the growing confidence of institutional players in the future of cryptocurrencies.
BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes predicts that the price of Bitcoin could reach $1 million, while Ark Invest suggests a rise to $2.4 million by 2030. BlackRock estimates the potential rise to $700,000, and Standard Chartered expects BTC to reach $200,000 as early as this year. These ambitious forecasts reflect growing institutional optimism and confidence in the long-term future of Bitcoin as a global asset.
Given the strong correlation of altcoins with Bitcoin, the expected rise of BTC may push other projects upwards. Now is the time to look at cryptocurrencies with strong fundamental indicators, including:
1. Solana ($SOL) – a fast and scalable blockchain platform developing in the DeFi, NFT, and AI sectors. Increased activity and interest from institutions make it promising.
2. Quant ($QNT ) – a project aimed at the inter-network compatibility of blockchains, actively collaborates with financial institutions, which gives it resilience and potential in the context of institutional growth.
3. Ripple ($XRP ) – remains in the spotlight due to its focus on cross-border payments and progress in its legal battle with the SEC. A potential settlement could trigger growth.
4. Hedera ($HBAR ) – uses a unique Hashgraph algorithm, provides high throughput, and is actively expanding its ecosystem of corporate partnerships (e.g., with Google and IBM).
Additionally, it is worth monitoring assets related to potential ETF approvals — they could receive significant capital inflows with positive news. If you want, I can prepare a brief investment overview for each of these coins.
