The shocking forecast from the father of Cardano regarding the future of Bitcoin has caused the market to explode.

According to CNBC, amidst the volatile cryptocurrency market following news of U.S. tariff policies, the veteran name Charles Hoskinson, co-founder of Ethereum and the 'father' of Cardano, has made bold predictions: Bitcoin could reach $250,000 as early as this year or next year, and tech giants like Apple and Microsoft will soon adopt stablecoins.

Will Bitcoin rise to $250,000 this year?

In an interview with CNBC, Hoskinson expressed great optimism about the future of Bitcoin, despite the fact that the currency has just gone through a tough period and is still far from the peak of over $100,000 reached in January.

He believes that the value of Bitcoin will surge to $250,000 due to a combination of several factors. According to him, tariff tensions will ease, the market will stabilize and become accustomed to a 'new normal.' More importantly, the anticipated interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) will create a significant influx of money into the cryptocurrency market. Additionally, the increasing number of crypto users (reaching 659 million, a 13% increase compared to 2024) and changing geopolitical context also make cryptocurrency an attractive option for globalization.
