Bitwise CIO’s Bold Prediction: Bitcoin to Smash $200K Before 2026

The crypto bulls are charging again—and Bitwise's top strategist just planted a flag even Wall Street can't ignore.

Why $200K isn't as crazy as it sounds

Institutional inflows are rewriting the playbook, with Bitcoin's scarcity math now trumping traditional valuation models. The halving's supply squeeze meets ETF demand—and suddenly six-figure targets look conservative.

The fine print every investor misses

Volatility hasn't disappeared; it's just gotten richer. Remember when a 20% drop felt catastrophic? Now it's a Tuesday afternoon blip before the next leg up. (Bankers still can't explain this to their golf buddies.)

One thing's certain: The smart money's stopped laughing and started allocating. Whether you ride the wave or watch from shore, 2025 will separate crypto believers from 'diversified portfolio' tourists.
