Bitcoin Could Reach New Heights in 2025, Analysts Say

Bitcoin may be poised for new all-time highs this year, according to Peter Chung, Head of Research at quantitative trading firm Presto.

In an interview with CNBC on April 28, Chung predicted that Bitcoin could soar to $210,000, driven by accelerating institutional adoption and expanding global liquidity.

Despite Bitcoin’s history of volatility, Chung emphasized that market corrections are healthy steps toward broader acceptance of the cryptocurrency as a mainstream financial asset.

Liquidity Expansion and Institutional Adoption Boost Bitcoin Outlook

Chung characterized Bitcoin as a “dual-nature” asset—functioning as a risk-on asset during periods of market optimism and transitioning into a form of “digital gold” during financial crises.

He referenced historical moments such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, the Silicon Valley Bank collapse in 2023, and more recent market stress events, explaining that while Bitcoin initially lags behind traditional safe-haven assets like gold, it often catches up and can outperform by year’s end.

Using the MVRV Ratio to Predict Bitcoin’s Price Trajectory

Chung’s bullish forecast isn’t new. He first outlined the $210,000 target in January, citing the ongoing expansion of global liquidity as a key driver. His prediction is based on a detailed analysis using the Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio—an important metric for identifying overbought or oversold conditions.

By projecting Bitcoin’s realized value into 2025 and applying a historical 3.5x multiplier, Presto Research arrived at its ambitious price target.

Presto is not alone in its optimistic outlook. Robert Kiyosaki, author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, also foresees Bitcoin reaching between $180,000 and $200,000 by 2025. A long-time proponent of Bitcoin as an inflation hedge, Kiyosaki even projects a staggering $1 million valuation for Bitcoin by 2035.

Meanwhile, Michaël van de Poppe, CEO and founder of MN Consultancy, highlighted a surge in whale activity—large Bitcoin holders accumulating more coins even at current levels. Van de Poppe interprets this behavior as a sign of robust market confidence, suggesting that Bitcoin could eventually climb to $300,000 or even $500,000 if the momentum continues.
