By the end of the year, Bitcoin and Ethereum are expected to rise to $200,000 and $10,000, respectively, driven by institutional investor demand through ETFs, according to a report by Standard Chartered, as reported by The Block.
“Institutional flows into Bitcoin in 2025 will exceed last year’s level. Fresh capital will primarily come from pension funds,” the experts noted.
After reaching these targets, a “mild” altcoin season is expected due to a greater focus on major cryptocurrencies. Support will come from the excitement surrounding the “official” meme coin of U.S. President Donald Trump.
“The global reach and growth rate of TRUMP signal a paradigm shift in capital formation as digital assets become increasingly mainstream,” the analysts emphasized.
Earlier, Standard Chartered presented a scenario of Bitcoin falling to $80,000.
According to Glassnode, after a sharp sell-off at the $100,000 level, the number of coins held by hodlers began to increase.
Previously, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink suggested that digital gold could rise to $700,000 if investors allocate 2% to 5% of their portfolios.
