In a recent update, Michaël van de Poppe, a well-known crypto analyst, shared his optimistic outlook for Bitcoin's performance in the latter half of 2024.
Van de Poppe highlighted the increasing inflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a potential catalyst for Bitcoin’s upward trajectory.
#Bitcoin aims to continue moving upwards.
The highest amount of net inflow from the ETF was established (more than $400M) in the last month.

He noted that Bitcoin saw significant net inflows from ETFs, exceeding $400 million last month, signaling strong institutional interest and stability around the $65,000 mark.
Van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin’s price could potentially reach $100,000 in the near future, buoyed by ongoing institutional investments.
Regarding Bitcoin’s comparison with gold, Van de Poppe pointed out that despite favorable conditions such as declining yields, Bitcoin has not yet reached its all-time high due to recent market setbacks, including the Mt. Gox Bitcoin sell-off.
He emphasized Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against economic uncertainty, as recognized by financial institutions like BlackRock.
Looking forward, Van de Poppe’s analysis underscores a positive sentiment for Bitcoin as it navigates market dynamics and institutional investments heading into the latter part of the year.
Metaplanet is ramping up its Bitcoin holdings, securing an additional 497 BTC for $43.9 million as part of its long-term accumulation plan.
Despite growing trade tensions between the U.S. and Canada, Bitcoin’s price has risen above $88,000, reflecting the market chaos.
BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has highlighted a significant imbalance between Bitcoin’s supply and the growing demand from U.S. millionaires.
Bitcoin’s reputation as a hedge against economic turmoil is fading as it moves in step with traditional risk assets.
