Crypto Bull Run May Last Until 2027, Says Bernstein
Bernstein forecasts a strong crypto bull market till 2027, with Bitcoin hitting $200K and Ethereum, Solana leading the next phase.
- Bitcoin could reach $150K–$200K within a year.
- Ethereum, Solana, and DeFi tokens may lead the next phase.
- U.S. policy and institutional adoption are key drivers.
Bernstein analysts are highly optimistic about the current crypto bull market, forecasting that it could last until 2027. According to their latest report, the ongoing rally in digital assets is far from over. One of their boldest predictions is that Bitcoin (BTC) could reach a price between $150,000 and $200,000 within the next 12 months.
This bullish outlook is fueled by a combination of growing support from U.S. policymakers and increased interest from institutional investors. With clearer regulations and more favorable policies emerging from Washington, traditional financial institutions are becoming more confident in entering the crypto space.
Bitcoin’s recent price recovery and strong performance in 2025 have set the stage for this positive sentiment. The approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs and increased corporate adoption are expected to further strengthen BTC’s position.
Ethereum, Solana, and DeFi to Lead the Next Wave
While Bitcoin continues to dominate headlines, Bernstein believes that the next leg of the crypto bull market will be driven by Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and key DeFi tokens. These assets are expected to benefit from growing demand for scalable blockchain platforms and decentralized financial services.
Ethereum’s upcoming upgrades and Solana’s speed and efficiency make them attractive to developers and investors alike. At the same time, DeFi platforms are attracting more users due to their open and permissionless financial services, offering alternatives to traditional banks.
This shift could lead to a significant increase in trading volumes on centralized and decentralized exchanges, as well as more inflows to stablecoin issuers that act as gateways into crypto markets.
Policy and Institutional Support Are Game Changers
Bernstein’s forecast emphasizes the critical role of policy in shaping the crypto bull market. As U.S. regulators provide clearer guidelines, it paves the way for more institutional capital to flow into digital assets.
Major asset managers, pension funds, and banks are beginning to explore crypto opportunities more seriously. If this trend continues, the crypto market could see exponential growth over the next two years, with altcoins playing a more prominent role.
As investor confidence grows, the infrastructure for trading, custody, and compliance is also improving, which could help sustain the bull run until 2027.
