Crypto analyst Scott Melker shared his view that Bitcoin could hit $250,000 by the end of 2025. Key factors driving this include growing institutional interest and reduced volatility.
Impact of Institutional Investments
Melker points to the increased involvement of pension funds and ETFs as signs of a mature and stable crypto market. "The more institutional money, the less volatility there will be in the future," he notes.
Trends in the Crypto Market in 2025
The year 2025 is already showing positive trends, with Bitcoin surpassing $104,000 and Ethereum reclaiming levels above $2,600. Melker connects this to Coinbase's successful entry into the stock market and the growth of other companies in the crypto sector.
Expectations and Potential Risks
While many experts forecast Bitcoin to reach a price range between $120,000 and $150,000 in 2025, sharp surges similar to previous bull markets cannot be ruled out. Melker emphasizes that "a 2.5x increase from the current price wouldn’t be unusual."
Thus, the expectations for Bitcoin's growth are supported by both analysts and increasing institutional interest, though risks related to market volatility remain.
