Bitcoin Could Hit $200K by Year-End, Says Standard Chartered
Standard Chartered forecasts Bitcoin may reach $200,000 by end of 2025 due to ETF inflows and market optimism.
- Standard Chartered expects Bitcoin to reach $200K by year-end
- ETFs and institutional adoption drive bullish outlook
- Prediction hinges on crypto market stability and macro trends
Global banking giant Standard Chartered has made waves in the crypto community by predicting that Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the end of 2025. This ultra-bullish forecast comes amid growing optimism surrounding cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and increased institutional participation in the digital asset space.
According to the bank, current market trends and the successful rollout of Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. could play a major role in boosting demand. Geoff Kendrick, head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, said that ETF inflows could lead to significant price appreciation, similar to the gold ETF effect seen in the 2000s.
ETF Momentum Fuels Confidence
ETFs have become a game-changer for Bitcoin. Since the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year, institutional investors have shown increasing interest. Standard Chartered believes this momentum will accelerate, bringing in billions of dollars in fresh capital.
The bank draws comparisons with the gold market after ETF approvals — gold prices surged 400% over several years. If Bitcoin follows a similar trajectory, reaching $200,000 by year-end is “within reach,” according to the report.
What Could Make or Break This Prediction
While the $200K prediction is exciting, it comes with caveats. The bank emphasizes that sustained regulatory clarity, macroeconomic stability, and continued institutional adoption are essential for this scenario to play out.
Any setbacks in ETF performance, sudden regulation, or a shift in macroeconomic conditions could delay or derail this projection. However, if all factors align, the crypto market could be on the verge of a historic bull run.
