The Bitcoin price may soar to $200k in 2025 due to strong institutional demand, Bitfinex said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Analysts from Bitfinex, the eleventh largest crypto exchange by trading volume, said in a Dec.17 market report<\/a> that their minimum Bitcoin price estimate stands “at $145,000 by mid-2025.” <\/span><\/p>\n

In their best case scenario, the analysts predicted that BTC’s price will double in 2025 to reach $200,000 “under favorable conditions.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Their predictions are based on the belief that US spot <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> ETF (exchange-traded fund) inflows will pick up next year while global and institutional adoption of BTC simultaneously increases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin Price Volatility Could Pick Up In Q1 Of 2025 Before Bullish Trend Continuation<\/span><\/h2>\n

So far this year, <\/span>Bitcoin<\/span><\/a> has soared more than 150%. This is after the largest crypto by market cap underwent a 2% <\/span>correction<\/span><\/a> in the last 24 hours to trade at $103,277.49 as of 1:45 a.m. EST. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Bitfinex analysts predict that BTC will experience some mild volatility in the first quarter of 2025. But they <\/span>maintain a bullish outlook on the leading crypto, saying that BTC’s long-term positive trend will likely continue and its price should keep climbing in 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bitcoin ETFs Flip Gold Funds In AUM<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Bitfinex analysts’ prediction that funds will continue to flow into spot BTC ETFs comes as these Bitcoin-focused investment products flipped gold funds in assets under management (AUM). Data from K33 Research shows that US BTC ETFs collectively broke $129 billion on Dec. 16.<\/span><\/p>\n
