Bitcoin (BTC) is holding firm at $107,568, posting a 0.8% gain in the last 24 hours, while market sentiment gets a boost from Bitwise’s bold $200K end-of-2025 prediction.
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan pointed to three tailwinds:
- Post-halving supply tightening,
- Accelerating institutional adoption, and
- Improving regulatory clarity.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have already reshaped the market, drawing in significant mainstream capital. Institutions now view BTC as a legitimate reserve asset, thanks to clearer regulation and trusted access points. Hougan argues that this institutional demand is structural—not speculative—and will continue pushing the price upward.
“With a hard cap of 21 million coins and a growing role as a macro hedge, it remains uniquely positioned in a volatile world,” Bitwise noted.
📈 Bitcoin vs ETH & SOL: Diverging Paths
While Bitcoin enjoys bullish momentum, Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) are lagging behind.
- Ethereum’s high gas fees and uncertain SEC status post-Merge are keeping institutional capital away.
- Solana, once hailed as an ETH alternative, is struggling with network outages and validator centralization—two red flags for scalability and trust.
Bitwise remains cautious on both altcoins in the near term. Despite strong use cases, new all-time highs for ETH or SOL don’t appear likely in 2025, according to their outlook.
