$BTC

The research, published on May 27, provides a comprehensive five-year price forecast for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). The analysis focuses on expected price trajectories and relative valuations from 2025 to 2029.

The projection also comes at a time when Bitcoin has hit an all-time high above $111,000. However, following a pullback, the asset is now consolidating around the $109,000 price mark.

Notably, Bitcoin leads Standard Chartered’s forecasts with significant price appreciation potential. The research projects BTC reaching $200,000 by the end of 2025, rising to $300,000 in 2026, $400,000 in 2027, and peaking at $500,000 by 2028.

This $500,000 level is expected to hold steady through 2029, reflecting confidence in Bitcoin’s role as a dominant digital asset.

From the current price, Bitcoin would need to surge approximately 82% to reach $200,000. Additionally, if Bitcoin reaches $200,000, its market cap would be around $3.82 trillion, assuming the circulating supply remains fairly stable.

This outlook follows previous remarks from Geoffrey Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s head of digital assets, who noted that recent SEC 13F filings support Bitcoin’s trajectory toward $500,000 by 2028.
