$BTC

Bitcoin in the future is expected to remain the leading digital asset with a dual role as a store of value and a speculative tool. Its adoption will continue to grow, both by institutional and individual investors, particularly as a hedge against inflation and economic instability. Global regulation will significantly influence its development—clear regulations could enhance trust and usage. Supporting technologies like the Lightning Network could also accelerate transactions and expand everyday use. However, Bitcoin still faces challenges such as price volatility, high energy consumption, and competition from stablecoins and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
