In a bold forecast, asset manager Bitwise projects significant growth for major cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, predicting that they will hit new highs in the coming year. The company cites various factors contributing to this optimistic outlook.
Will Bitcoin Reach New Heights?
Bitwise envisions Bitcoin soaring to $200,000 by 2025, largely driven by the influence of Bitcoin ETFs. Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan, along with Research Head Ryan Rasmussen, emphasizes that the influx from these exchange-traded funds is pivotal for Bitcoin’s escalating value.
How High Can Ethereum Go?
