A VanEck analyst is predicting a huge price jump for Bitcoin. Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research, forecasts Bitcoin (BTC) could reach a staggering $180,000 by the latter half of 2025.
A Bullish Prediction Based on Past Cycles
Sigel’s prediction is based on his analysis of previous Bitcoin market cycles. However, he acknowledges that overcoming current economic uncertainty is crucial for this prediction to materialize.
Increased Interest in Bitcoin ETFs
Sigel notes a significant increase in interest from traditional asset managers in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He reports a 300% rise in inquiries, attributing this surge to a shift in sentiment following recent political changes.
Long-Term Outlook: Bitcoin vs. Gold
Looking further ahead to 2026/2027, Sigel compares Bitcoin to gold. He suggests that if Bitcoin captures the speculative portion of the gold market (roughly 50%), its price could potentially reach $450,000 per coin.
