By the end of 2024, the price of the leading cryptocurrency could reach $100,000, according to Standard Chartered. Reuters reports.
Analysts note the end of the crypto winter. In their view, Bitcoin will benefit from turmoil in the banking sector and a number of other factors. Jeff Kendrick, head of the digital assets research at Standard Chartered, attributed the end of the US rate-hiking cycle and higher mining profitability.
“Although sources of uncertainty remain, we believe that the path to the $100,000 level is becoming clearer,” the note says.
