Bitwise is a popular asset management company and has recently issued a forecast for Bitcoin (BTC). According to them, Bitcoin (BTC) has the potential to hit $200,000 by the end of the year 2025.
Meanwhile, the SOL and the ETH are not expected to make new highs during the rest of 2025. But it's worth noting that Bitwise has made forecasts in the past, but they were not that accurate.
According to Bitwise, the reason for such a bullish forecast is due to the strong inflows in the BTC ETFs. Now, the BTC is bought by institutions, and even the USA has created a strategic stockpile.
In addition, the Trump administration is also taking pro crypto measures, which also go in favour of BTC.
But when it comes to SOL and ETH, Bitwise isn't that bullish at all. They believe that both of these coins will fail to make new ATHs during the 2H2025.
The one key factor behind the Bitwise prediction is the US efforts for cryptocurrencies. But, it's also worth noting that the big beautiful tax bill didn't have any crypto friendly amendments.
Last but not least, the establishment of the strategic reserve containing Bitcoin also failed to uplift the markets. All of these things tell us to take the Bitwise prediction with a grain of salt.
But one thing becomes clear when we look at the history of the BTC... The path ahead for the BTC is upward unless something really serious happens.
In fact, BTC has already established itself as the Gold of the new era. A quick look at the performance of both assets shows that BTC is leagues ahead of the Gold.
So, even if the BTC fails to reach $200K by 2025 end, the chances of this happening in 2026 are also present!
