Bitcoin, the world’s leading cryptocurrency, is rapidly gaining momentum, with predictions suggesting it could hit $100,000 within the next year.
As of Tuesday, the digital currency was trading around $87,880, marking a significant 30% increase since the US presidential election.
This surge comes amid a shift in US policy, with President-elect Donald Trump’s pro-cryptocurrency stance and plans to establish clearer regulatory frameworks fueling investor optimism.
Nigel Green, CEO of the deVere Group stated, “Bitcoin could hit $100,000 by the end of January 2025 after Donald Trump takes office.”
Green’s comments come after a remarkable 93% increase in Bitcoin’s value this year, reflecting growing investor confidence.
“We expect that this is just the beginning, with the cryptocurrency set to break more records under an incoming Trump administration. President-elect’s crypto-friendly stance signals a transformative moment for Bitcoin and the broader digital asset market,” said Green.
The upcoming Trump administration’s clear mandate to regulate cryptocurrency more effectively is seen as a major catalyst for the digital currency’s rise.
Trump has further signaled his intention to elevate Bitcoin to a strategic asset class, offering what many industry experts see as a powerful endorsement for the market.
He further asserted, “This is the most significant tailwind we’ve seen for Bitcoin since its inception. With inflation concerns on the rise amid looming economic policy shifts, Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against eroding cash value is also gaining traction.”
Although global rate cuts have eased inflationary pressures, the Trump administration’s ambitious spending plans and potential tariffs could rapidly drive prices back up.
Raj Karkara, COO of ZebPay, echoed Green’s sentiment, adding, “As more investors turn to Bitcoin, we anticipate this momentum could continue.”
“This landmark moment demonstrates Bitcoin’s resilience and reinforces its appeal within the financial markets,” he further added.
Vishal Sacheendran, Head of Regional Markets at Binance, emphasized that establishing clearer regulations and fostering a more supportive environment for crypto businesses could boost investor trust, leading to greater innovation and wider acceptance of digital assets.
“It is also important to note that In a bull market like this, investors should also remain mindful, conduct thorough research, and not make investment decisions solely based on market sentiment or hype,” he added.
