Bernstein’s bullish outlook on Bitcoin attributed to spot ETF demand
The firm’s bullish outlook on Bitcoin’s future price is largely attributed to the expected surge in demand from spot ETFs.
The analysts expect the demand to reach around $190 billion in assets under management by 2025. The forecast is up from the current $60 billion.
Chhugani and Sapra believe that the approval of U.S.-regulated ETFs was a major moment for the crypto industry.
Bernstein estimates that Bitcoin ETFs will hold the equivalent of approximately 7% of the Bitcoin in circulation by 2025. This is also equivalent to around 15% of the total Bitcoin supply by 2033.
