Van Eck recently said that Bitcoin’s success is due to more big organizations using it and its ability to protect against economic problems. His prediction matches VanEck’s official outlook, which expects Bitcoin to hit $180,000 and Ethereum to reach $6,000 by 2025.
Despite these optimistic predictions, Bitcoin recently experienced a slight correction. After reaching an all-time high of $108,372 earlier this month, the cryptocurrency dipped to $95,000 amid reactions to Federal Reserve rate cuts. Right now, Bitcoin has gone up a bit, trading at $98,518, which is a 3.8% increase in the past day.
Analysts previously predicted that Bitcoin would surpass the $100,000 mark by November 2024. Even though it didn’t happen that month, it did reach that goal in early December. Bitcoin went up to $103,000 and later peaked at $108,372 before the correction.
The Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) market has been very busy. On Thursday, Bitcoin ETFs had $617 million taken out, and BlackRock’s IBIT, the biggest Bitcoin ETF by value, didn’t have any money added that day. Experts used to think Bitcoin would go over $100,000 by November 2024.
