With Bitcoin rebounding to $97,000, leading crypto aggregator CoinMarketCap shares some top predictions issued by prominent financial entities for the asset.
Bitcoin has registered an incredible performance this month, soaring from $68,000 to $99,000 in two weeks. Notably, the premier asset registered an all-time high of $99,655 on November 22, inching close to the $100,000 psychological milestone.
However, Bitcoin plunged below the $91,000 level a few days later, crashing to $90,796 earlier this week. Interestingly, Bitcoin has resumed its rally, with its price surging above $97,000 in the hours leading up to press time.
Top Bitcoin Predictions
Given Bitcoin’s incredible performance, uncertainty surrounds how high the asset could surge in the coming months or years.
Bitcoin has welcomed some bullish predictions from top financial entities and industry leaders, with each setting different targets and potential timelines for the asset to reach these milestones.
Leading crypto aggregator CoinMarketCap compiled some of these Bitcoin price predictions today, asking its followers to identify which entity would accurately forecast Bitcoin’s price.
End-of-Year Prediction
With just a month left before the end of 2024, entities such as CryptoQuant, Standard Chartered, and Matrixport expect Bitcoin to hit different targets this year.
While CryptoQuant set a target of $141,000 for Bitcoin, Standard Chartered and MatrixPort expect it to trade at $125,000 by 2024.
To achieve this feat, Bitcoin must rally 44.79% from its current price of $97,380 to reach CryptoQuant’s projection of $141,000, or 28.36%, to clinch the $125,000 target set by Matrixport and Standard Chartered.
Bitcoin’s 2025 Prediction
In May, Pantera Capital, which recently set Bitcoin’s 2028 target at $740,000, projected that the asset would trade at $117,000 by August 2025. This requires a surge of 20.14% from the current price of $97,380.
However, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes set a higher 2025 valuation for Bitcoin. According to his forecast, Bitcoin would surge to $250,000 by the end of 2025. Achieving this valuation requires the world’s largest cryptocurrency to rally by 156.72% from its current price in 13 months.
2026 Forecast
Furthermore, prominent asset managers like Bitwise and Alliance Bernstein set a modest target for Bitcoin in 2026, compared to Hayes’ projection of $250,000 by the end of 2025.
These asset managers expect the price of Bitcoin to hit $200,000 by 2026. Reaching the $200,000 target requires the price of Bitcoin to rally by 105.38% from its current level in two years.
2030 and 2050 Bitcoin Prediction
Meanwhile, other fund managers issued different ambitious targets for Bitcoin, with Ark Invest expecting BTC to hit $650,000 by 2030. To clinch this ambitious target, Bitcoin must soar by 567.48% from its current value over the next six years.
In addition, VanEck offered one of the most audacious predictions for Bitcoin, projecting a surge to $2.9 million by 2050. Achieving this milestone requires a hefty surge of 2,878% over the next 26 years.
According to VanEck, Bitcoin’s rally to $2.9 million would be driven by the asset’s utility in international trade and its role as a global reserve asset for central banks.
At press time, Bitcoin is changing hands at $97,380, up 1.79% over the past 24 hours, with a daily volume of $46.02 billion.
