Bernstein says Bitcoin could hit $200K by 2027 as Trump’s crypto push and ETFs break the old four-year cycle trend.
Ethereum and Solana may lead the next crypto rally with staking and DeFi growth as investors embrace altcoins again.
Robinhood boosts its future by offering staking services as crypto becomes central to its business despite stock volatility.
The crypto market’s bull cycle may last longer than expected, with Bernstein predicting Bitcoin could surge to $200,000 before 2027. Analysts from the investment firm issued a Tuesday note highlighting U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressive push to position America as the global crypto leader.
This political backing, coupled with market fundamentals, makes it increasingly difficult to call for a peak in 2024. Besides, Bitcoin already broke its prior $124,000 record last week before cooling near $113,000.
Trump’s Policy Shift and Market Outlook
Bernstein analysts argued that Trump’s stance on crypto appears “mission-critical” for sustaining momentum in digital assets. Consequently, they believe this shift could disrupt Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycles that previously defined market tops. Historically, Bitcoin peaked around $20,000 in 2017 and $68,000 in 2021.
However, Trump’s embrace of spot ETFs and regulatory clarity may drive a new structural cycle. Hence, analysts now forecast a cycle peak in 2026 or 2027, with Bitcoin ranging between $150,000 and $200,000.
Additionally, analysts expect the next leg of growth to come from altcoins. Ethereum and Solana could lead this rally, fueled by decentralized finance and staking. Moreover, they anticipate lower interest rates will ignite stronger risk-on sentiment. This environment could allow DeFi to expand significantly, as it did during 2020’s yield farming boom.
Altcoins and Corporate Adaptation
Besides Bitcoin, Bernstein emphasized that digital asset treasuries centered on Ethereum and Solana will likely keep scaling. These firms, unlike Bitcoin holders, can stake tokens and earn on-chain yields.
Consequently, the market could see a more sustainable form of growth. Moreover, the analysts pointed to Robinhood as an example of successful adaptation. The retail broker started offering staking services in June, diversifying away from volatile trading revenues.
Hence, Bernstein raised its price target for Robinhood shares to $160 from $105. Yet, shares slid 6% Tuesday to around $108. Despite that dip, Robinhood has already tripled year-to-date from $38.54, reflecting crypto’s central role in its strategy.
