Accelerated Bitcoin Growth: Standard Chartered Eyes $100,000 With ETF Impact
Standard Chartered, the British multinational bank, is optimistic about Bitcoin’s future, predicting a surge to $100,000 by next year.
This bullish forecast follows the bank’s earlier projections in April, anticipating a $100,000 value by the end of 2024, and a subsequent July estimate of $120,000 within the same timeframe. Despite the recent signs of recovery from the prolonged bear market in 2023, the bank asserts that the introduction of U.S. spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) will expedite Bitcoin’s ascent to $100,000. The bank’s report suggests that the earlier-than-expected implementation of these ETFs presents a risk of reaching the $100,000 milestone before the end of 2024.
Standard Chartered emphasizes the significance of the upcoming Bitcoin halving event, which reduces the supply of new coins, as a factor contributing to the positive outlook. Additionally, the report highlights the potential impact of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval, anticipating accelerated appreciation in Bitcoin’s value, especially with major Wall Street firms, including BlackRock, seeking approval for their own Bitcoin ETFs. If approved, these ETFs could attract institutional investors, potentially driving up the price of Bitcoin.
