Crypto Expert Predicts Bitcoin Could Soar Above $100,000 – Here is Why

Matt Hougan, Bitwise COO, is optimistic about Bitcoin’s prospects, predicting the potential for a substantial rally that could push its price into six figures.

He attributes this outlook to several critical developments.

On October 18, a surge in spot Bitcoin ETF activity signaled growing interest from institutional investors. Bitcoin, currently valued above $1 trillion, has maintained momentum, trading at $68,154.

Analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the rapid growth of U.S. Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen over $20 billion in net inflows, significantly outpacing traditional ETFs like those tracking gold.

Looking ahead, experts suggest the 2024 U.S. presidential election could act as a catalyst for Bitcoin’s upward trajectory, especially with renewed political backing. Additionally, fiscal concerns and possible global interest rate reductions could boost Bitcoin’s appeal as a deflationary asset.

The aftermath of Bitcoin’s halving is already being felt, with large holders significantly increasing their reserves this year, now accounting for nearly 49% of the market’s realized value. The approval for Bitcoin ETF options trading by the NYSE could further drive this trend.
