Bitcoin's Institutional Cycle Propels Price to Record Highs
Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe predicts a potential 12x rally for Bitcoin as it enters an institutional cycle, driven by the entry of trillion-dollar asset managers via BTC exchange-traded funds (ETFs). He cites macroeconomic factors such as inflation and US national debt as catalysts for Bitcoin's ascent, envisioning a "crypto dot-com bubble" where global adoption could propel BTC to over $500,000. Van de Poppe suggests that the bull cycle may extend into 2026 or 2027, with Bitcoin currently trading at $49,823.
