Bitcoin – Standard Chartered’s revised projection and why THIS is ‘no longer a price driver’
Standard Chartered has halved its 2025 Bitcoin price forecast to $100,000, citing reduced corporate treasury purchases and slower ETF inflows as key factors. The bank also delayed its long-term target of $500,000 to 2030. Analysts now view ETF inflows as the primary driver for Bitcoin's future price increases, moving away from the traditional halving cycle model. The bank anticipates a break of the current all-time high in H1-2026, suggesting a shift in market dynamics.
