Permabull Tom Lee recently made an interview on CNBC, where he predicted that by 2024, the price of Bitcoin might skyrocket to $250,000. The regulatory environment is becoming considerably better in 2025, according to Lee, therefore investors should think about a substantially larger Bitcoin exposure then.
Furthermore, Lee has forecasted that Ethereum (ETH), the cryptocurrency with the second-largest market cap, might experience a jump up to $6,000. It would suggest that the analyst strongly believes that 2025 could witness an all-season, with Solana and other alternative cryptocurrencies possibly achieving “extremely well.”
Lee was quoted by U.Today as saying that Bitcoin would reach $150,000 in 2024. The leading cryptocurrency has achieved a height of $108,135 so far, and with less than a week remaining, it appears exceedingly improbable that Lee’s aim will be reached this year. On Christmas Eve, the leading cryptocurrency was trading near $100,000; today, it is trading at $98,148.
Lee hinted in November that he might see Bitcoin as a reserve asset for the Treasury. According to the permeable, Bitcoin can reduce the national debt. If this were a typical half cycle, $250,000 would be the vast majority of the time, says Lee. However, if the U.S. government does end up adopting Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset, the cryptocurrency could surge significantly higher.
Bitcoin Safe Haven in a Stormy World
Over the past few years, especially during periods of economic uncertainty. Bitcoin’s allure as a medium of exchange has increased dramatically. Bitcoin is becoming more attractive to investors as a viable alternative to established fiat currencies because of the increasing global debt and inflationary pressures on these currencies. Bitcoin is being seen as a viable alternative to more conventional assets such as gold due to its decentralized nature and extreme scarcity.
Additionally, the increasing renown of Bitcoin as “digital gold” is connected to Lee’s forecast for its value. With its decentralized nature and resistance to inflation. Bitcoin’s value could rise as more people look for alternatives to conventional banking systems. Inflation and government debt are two of the world’s persistent economic worries. That has increased the allure of Bitcoin as a refuge asset.
