Bitcoin has shattered previous records by reaching $85,000, boosting its market cap to $1.7 trillion. Analysts project the cryptocurrency could climb to $1 million by 2033, driven by institutional adoption and its role as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

Bitcoin Hits Record High Amid Political and Economic Shifts

With a recent all-time high over $85,000, the digital currency Bitcoin is seeing an unparalleled surge. A record $1.7 trillion has been reached by the largest cryptocurrency, with a further $1 trillion added in the last year. Bitcoin is now bigger than all but six publicly traded firms in the world.

Just a few days after Donald Trump's election and the Federal Reserve dropped interest rates by 25 basis points, the record-breaking began.

Because of the recent political and economic shift, investors are once again interested in Bitcoin, sending its price soaring into unexplored territory. It followed the courageous advice of major asset manager Bernstein & Co., which is responsible for $725 billion in assets, to put more money into Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in anticipation of rising inflation and institutional interest.

Bernstein Sees Bitcoin as a Safe Haven in Economic Uncertainty

As a "digital gold" or hedge-asset, Bernstein predicts that Bitcoin will do well in times of economic uncertainty. With a potential increase in demand and liquidity, their projections show that crypto ETF assets might reach $190 billion by 2025, up from $60 billion now.

The cryptocurrency might hit $200,000 by 2025, helped along by rising institutional demand and a shortage of supply. Additionally, spot Bitcoin ETFs will attract cautious institutional investors, which will accelerate growth.

Long-Term Predictions Indicate a Million-Dollar Bitcoin

Bernstein predicts that, due to its use as a hedge, the coin's value might reach $1 million by 2033. Digital assets are becoming more mainstream as a result of industry growth and the entry of big names like BlackRock and Fidelity.

There is an expectation that the price of Bitcoin will rise due to the mechanics of the supply, such as cutting events that decrease the rate of coin creation. According to research into the past, the recent halving of the daily supply caused prices to skyrocket after it lowered the supply from 900 BTC to 450 BTC.

Large Investors Continue to Build Corporate Confidence

Buying Bitcoin through convertible debt reduces liquidation risks and boosts corporate confidence in its long-term worth. Large investors like MicroStrategy are all in, controlling approximately 1.1% of the total supply.

Bernstein is optimistic about the future of the biggest cryptocurrency, thanks to strong demand from institutions and favorable macroeconomic conditions.

Caution Amid Price Fluctuations and Market Uncertainty

Unity Wallet's chief operating officer, James Toledano, cautions that, despite the encouraging post-election price rises, care is still required.

Market instability and significant price fluctuations, he told CoinGape, could be caused by Trump's unpredictable character. On the other hand, his endorsement shows that he believes in cryptocurrency's future, which might lead to its widespread use. According to Toledano, there is increasing confidence in crypto assets as potential global assets, notwithstanding Bitcoin's sluggish transaction times. This optimism is fueled by a number of causes.
