Although the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been in a consolidation phase recently, the upcoming digital asset legislation could become the next significant catalyst for the world's first cryptocurrency.
According to Alice Li, partner and U.S. head at crypto venture capital firm Foresight Ventures, the proposed stablecoin regulations, such as the "U.S. Stablecoin Innovation Act" (GENIUS) bill, could lay the groundwork for Bitcoin to reach a peak of over $150,000.
Meanwhile, interest from venture capital (VC) has declined. The number of VC deals recorded in May hit an annual low, with only 62 rounds raising $909 million.
Patrick Heusser, the head of lending at Sentora, stated that "macroeconomic background challenges" and "long-term high policy rates, volatile bond markets, and new tariff news make it more difficult to achieve mergers and acquisitions in high-risk assets."
VCs believe that Bitcoin reserves and stablecoin regulations in 2025 will become important market catalysts.
The continuously improving regulatory clarity in the U.S. could push Bitcoin to break the $150,000 mark during the current market cycle, according to Alice Li, investment partner at Foresight Ventures.
Li stated on the June 3rd episode of Cointelegraph Chain Reaction X Spaces that the recovery of the crypto market in 2025 will be primarily driven by changes in U.S. policy.
"Policy changes are definitely one of the strongest driving factors," she mentioned that the Bitcoin reserve and stablecoin policy developments approved by U.S. President Trump are the main catalysts for the rise in Bitcoin prices in 2025.
Li's comments came as the industry awaits a comprehensive vote by the U.S. Senate on the "U.S. Stablecoin Innovation Act" (GENIUS) bill, which aims to set clear rules for stablecoin collateral and require compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
