$BTC Bitcoin (BTC) continues to be a dominant force in the crypto market, currently trading around $104,500. After its fourth halving in April 2024, which reduced miner rewards, market sentiment suggests a potential for significant price increases. Analysts project BTC could reach $130,000-$135,000 by Q3 2025, with some eyeing $180,000-$250,000 by year-end due to ongoing institutional adoption and favorable macroeconomic conditions. Despite a recent consolidation, whale accumulation indicates strong underlying demand. Global adoption rates remain relatively low at around 3-4%, mirroring the early internet era and suggesting vast room for future growth, driven by increasing accessibility via ETFs and a growing understanding of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation.
