$800 billion asset manager Bernstein says its $200,000 Bitcoin price prediction for 2025 is a “conservative” one, hinting that the cryptocurrency could boom further. The firm cites the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which now manage approximately $120 billion in assets, as proof of Bitcoin’s bullish potential in the second half of the year. At press time, BTC is trading at $108,000, just 4% off the latest ATH the crypto set on May 22.
The analysts point to stablecoins and tokenization-driven financial applications being built on public blockchain networks like Ethereum, which enjoys “maximum market share.” They argue that if “real companies and institutional investors are innovating on the blockchain, doesn’t that make blockchain networks, and by implication, blockchain network assets (e.g, ETH) valuable?” With Bitcoin (BTC) holding the top spot among digital assets, its potential to surge is extremely likely, which could also leak into network assets like Solana and Ether.
Bitcoin Gaining Popularity on a Global Scale
While Bitcoin is currently moving at a stable pace, BTC’s institutional interest continues to rise rapidly. Major firms, including Metaplanet and Strategy, are holding BTC in record numbers. Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs are resurging. Most notably, BlackRock’s IBIT Spot Bitcoin ETF recently became the fastest ETF in history to reach $70 billion in assets under management (AUM).

Furthermore, Bitcoin has gotten more recognition on a federal level, with global leaders acknowledging the digital asset’s potential. US President Donald Trump was recently advised the world on how America is looking forward to holding Bitcoin for a long time, which has once again helped the token to stabilize its momentum. Trump delivered a speech this week where he emphasized Bitcoin, sharing how Americans will now follow the universal crypto rule of never selling their Bitcoin. As a result, this has activated positive market sentiments among investors, keeping BTC in the green.
Bitcoin is up more than 4% in the last 30 days, according to CoinMarketCap. While Bernstein is bullish, CoinCodex analysts project Bitcoin to hit $119K by mid-July 2025. “According to our current Bitcoin price prediction, the price of Bitcoin is predicted to rise by 8.76% and reach $ 119,029 by July 10, 2025,” the analysts note. “Per our technical indicators, the current sentiment is bullish, while the Fear & Greed Index is showing 71 (greed). Bitcoin recorded 16/30 (53%) green days with 2.13% price volatility over the last 30 days.
