Listen, Anthony Scaramucci, the one who runs the SkyBridge hedge fund and has been involved in the topic of crypto for a long time, expressed an interesting idea. He believes that bitcoin can still rise to $180,000 before the end of this year. Yes, despite all the uncertainty in the world: wars, possible recession, geopolitical turbulence — he still remains a bull.
How can you be so sure?
First, he speaks of strong institutional demand. According to him, approximately 80% of new investments from major players are directed specifically to bitcoin, and not to ethereum, altcoins or anything else. Wall Street, in fact, has begun to perceive BTC as "digital gold" — and large funds are simply pouring money into it.
Another important driver is Bitcoin ETFs. Capital flows through these exchange-traded funds remain consistently high, despite market volatility. People buy not only for speculation, but as a long-term protection against financial instability.
But it's not that simple.
Scaramucci does not deny that there may be problems along the way. He mentioned the risks associated with wars, as well as the continuing economic instability after covid. All this may cool the ardor of investors a bit — or, conversely, make them flee to safe assets like BTC.
Nevertheless, he looks at the situation positively. In an interview, he admitted that bitcoin had not reached the $100,000 mark by the time of Trump's possible inauguration (which he was clearly counting on), but he remains of the opinion that we may well see $150,000-180,000 by the end of the year.
By the way, this is about +60% to current levels — very ambitious, but given the market behavior in the past, it does not seem something fantastic.
In short, Scaramucci is betting that even in conditions of instability, bitcoin will continue to grow due to the trust of big money. This means that perhaps the most interesting stage of 2025 in the crypt is just beginning.
Do you think BTC will really reach $180,000, or is it too optimistic even for the current market?
