Experts at Bitfinex are optimistic about Bitcoin’s future, anticipating mild price dips in 2025 thanks to growing institutional interest. According to their recent market report, they project a best-case scenario where Bitcoin’s price doubles by June 2025, reaching up to $200,000 under favorable conditions.
The analysts at Bitfinex expect any corrections in 2025 to be short-lived, driven by institutional inflows into the market. They highlight the ongoing trend of increasing spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and rising global and institutional adoption as key factors supporting Bitcoin’s continued growth.
Since January, approximately $36 billion has entered United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, making them one of the largest groups of Bitcoin holders with over 1.13 million BTC, according to Farside Investors.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was priced at $105,360, and experts like Nic Carter from Castle Island Ventures see the potential for significant long-term growth. Carter envisions Bitcoin reaching the market cap of gold, which would value it at $900,000.
Bitfinex analysts compare potential price scenarios for Bitcoin based on historical cycles, suggesting a peak of around $339,000 if the 2021 cycle is repeated. They also consider the possibility of a peak around $290,000 if the extended 2017 cycle repeats with diminishing returns by early 2026.
