According to ChainCatcher news and reported by Bitcoin.com, Galaxy Research predicts that Bitcoin (BTC) will exceed $150,000 in the first half of 2025 and may even reach $185,000 in the last quarter of the same year. The research firm believes that adoption at the institutional, corporate, and national levels is the main factor driving this top cryptocurrency to these high points.
Galaxy Research also stated that it anticipates BTC will continue to outperform other asset classes (including the S&P 500 index). Regarding gold, the Galaxy team expects BTC's total market value to reach 20% of the total market value of the precious metal. As of the time of this writing (December 29, 2024), BTC's market value is approximately $1.85 trillion, while gold's market value is estimated to be close to $18 trillion.
