James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, forecasts Bitcoin's price could either soar to $150,000 or drop to $80,000 in 2025, contingent on the success of pro-crypto policies promised by President-elect Trump. Butterfill warns that failure to implement these policies could trigger a market correction leading to the $80,000 scenario.
Looking further ahead, Butterfill believes Bitcoin could capture 25% of gold's market value, translating to a price of $250,000. However, he notes this milestone is unlikely to occur in 2025. A favorable U.S. regulatory environment is cited as the primary factor supporting Bitcoin’s potential upward trajectory.
