VanEck CEO Jan van Eck has made an ambitious forecast for Bitcoin, suggesting that BTC could mature to capture half of gold's total market capitalization.
He indicated that this would equate to a Bitcoin price of approximately $350,000, representing a substantial increase from current values.
He believes that Bitcoin is on an upward trajectory and could eventually reflect half of gold’s market cap, highlighting its potential for long-term growth.
As a leader in crypto and gold investments, van Eck sees Bitcoin increasingly being viewed as a store of value similar to gold, especially as central banks adjust their monetary policies. He noted that the Federal Reserve’s potential easing of the economy could benefit both Bitcoin and gold.
Additionally, he hinted at a more optimistic scenario where the integration of Bitcoin into the global monetary system by central banks could push its value into the millions.
While acknowledging the significant uncertainties surrounding such predictions, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term outlook. He emphasized the importance of a diversified investment portfolio and advised investors to stay hopeful about Bitcoin’s future while being aware of its volatility.
After weeks of intense institutional activity that helped push Bitcoin above $100,000, inflows into U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs took a breather between May 6 and May 12.
Bitcoin’s rapid recovery beyond $104,000 has sparked a wave of optimism in crypto circles, but the bigger question remains: is this just the beginning?
While Bitcoin’s price has recently rebounded, the enthusiasm for spot ETFs appears to be cooling. Weekly inflows into U.S. Bitcoin ETFs have dropped sharply, signaling a pause in aggressive institutional accumulation.
A wave of optimism swept through global markets as the United States and China took decisive steps to de-escalate their long-running trade dispute.
