Analysts from Binance, Bitwise, and Standard Chartered (LON:STAN) noted Bitcoin's potential as a key digital asset. They stated that this is facilitated by increasing institutional interest, the development of infrastructure, and positive changes in cryptocurrency market regulation practices. In particular, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the USA has already attracted significant investments, strengthening the position of the first cryptocurrency in the global market.
Ryan Rasmussen, head of research at Bitwise, predicts that by the end of 2025, the price of Bitcoin could reach $200,000 if macroeconomic conditions remain favorable.
'Institutional demand and limited supply create ideal conditions for growth,' says Rasmussen.
The forecasts from Standard Chartered experts are more optimistic. They emphasized that post-halving cycles of Bitcoin traditionally stimulate the growth of the first cryptocurrency's value. Standard Chartered expects that in the short term, the price of Bitcoin could approach $250,000, and by 2035, reach $500,000.
Binance analyst Kirill Khomyakov stated that in the short term, macroeconomic instability leads investors to avoid risks. At the same time, Bitcoin has already proven its resilience, recovering losses within a few weeks after sharp declines.
A Binance expert believes that against the backdrop of geopolitical tension, interest in Bitcoin will grow, as private and institutional investors see the first cryptocurrency as an alternative to traditional financial instruments, especially in conditions of declining purchasing power of fiat currencies.
Experts warn that competition from central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) may intensify by 2035, which could limit the use of Bitcoin in international settlements. Experts also expect that geopolitical instability or tightening cryptocurrency regulations in the EU and China may slow Bitcoin's upward rally. However, in their general opinion, the role of the flagship cryptocurrency as 'digital gold' will remain significant.
