Dan Tapiero, the CEO of 1RoundTable Partners, a growth equity fund, predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will exceed $100,000. He describes this as a conservative estimate, suggesting that the leading cryptocurrency could experience even more significant growth in the next five years.
Tapiero, recognized for his expertise in macroeconomics and fund management, recently expressed a cautiously optimistic view on the future value of Bitcoin. An increase to $100,000 would represent a substantial 160% gain from its current level.
“When I first started seriously analyzing this in 2019, my target was always about $250,000 to $350,000 for Bitcoin,” Tapiero states. He views this as a realistic forecast for the end of the decade, outlining a plausible growth path for Bitcoin.
In conversations with Raoul Pal, a former executive at Goldman Sachs, Tapiero highlighted a significant shift in the cryptocurrency sector. Traditional retail and financial giants are increasingly adopting digital assets and blockchain technology, marking a change from the previous market cycles’ cautious stance.
Major companies like Adidas, LVMH, and Nike are experimenting with non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and significant financial institutions such as Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, and BlackRock are showing strong interest in this field.
Tapiero points out that the current phase is an “adoption cycle,” drawing attention to the rising interest and investments in platforms like Ethereum. He notes a difference in this revenue compared to traditional sources, suggesting a shift in the understanding and exchange of value.
In line with Tapiero’s observations, recent market trends support the resilience and growth of Bitcoin. Galaxy Digital forecasts a 74% price increase in Bitcoin’s first year following the launch of an ETF, starting from a base price of $26,920. They believe that an ETF would make Bitcoin more accessible, especially to traditional investors who prefer regulated investment options.
Algorithmic models and Bitcoin prediction websites also share optimistic views. They anticipate Bitcoin reaching $137,400 by the end of 2025.
However, traders like Dr. Proft advise caution, highlighting the significance of Bitcoin maintaining above the 20-day Simple Moving Average at $36,287. Falling below this level could lead to a decline to $33,000.
Currently, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $37,801.67, showing a slight 24-hour decrease of -0.07% and a 2.90% increase over the last week. With a circulating supply of 20 million BTC, Bitcoin’s market capitalization is $739,126,338,481, according to CoinGecko.
