# VanEck, Gemini split on crypto outlook as market faces headwinds

Bold Bitcoin target: VanEck's Matthew Sigel predicts Bitcoin could hit $1 million by 2031, citing macroeconomic drivers and demographic adoption trends. Ethereum's Q2 hopes: Gemini says Ethereum could climb to $3,000 this quarter if upgrade milestones, ETF inflows, and BTC correlation improve. Macro pressures mount: Rising inflation, energy shocks, and tighter liquidity are weighing on crypto, with rate hike risks shifting market sentiment.
