“Bitcoin will hit $250,000 before the end of the bull cycle.” Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson made this prediction in a recent interview.
What could fuel the price? The former CEO of the Ethereum Foundation has several answers.
On the one hand, he points to various sovereign wealth funds that are now increasingly investing in Bitcoin. The Norwegian sovereign wealth fund recently expanded its holdings again.
Hoskinson cites the US as another bullish indicator. “They hold 212,000 Bitcoin.” Recently, however, there had been speculation that the United States actually holds only a fraction of the amount in its sovereign wallets.
But the demand from retail and especially institutional investors should not be neglected, says the Cardano founder.
“It's all pretty crazy when you think about it. That's why I think Bitcoin's market capitalization will likely rise to around $10 trillion in the next five years.”
By comparison, Bitcoin's current market capitalization is $2.2 trillion. The cryptocurrency's value would have to increase fivefold by 2030 for Hoskinson to be right.
Recently, dovish statements from the US Federal Reserve (Fed) have raised hopes among Bitcoin investors. You can read about Bitcoin's potential short-term price performance here: Bitcoin: The cryptocurrency faces a volatile month ahead.
