Bitcoin’s price is projected to rise substantially, potentially surpassing $200,000 by 2025, due to increasing institutional demand and inflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Analysts from Standard Chartered and Intellectia AI attribute this optimistic forecast to the participation of financial institutions as they hedge against macroeconomic risks. On April 22, Bitcoin's value crossed $90,000, fueled by a surge in ETF investments and growing interest amidst trade conflicts and geopolitical tensions. However, this prediction comes with caution; any unexpected event, such as regulatory crackdowns, could derail this trajectory. Corporate investments in Bitcoin treasuries currently exceed $65 billion, and institutions increasingly view Bitcoin as a critical component of their portfolios, though its correlation with equities poses challenges to its status as a safe-haven asset. Experts argue that real-world usage, beyond speculative holding, will be vital for Bitcoin's long-term success.
