Standard Chartered: Institutional inflows are expected to drive BTC to $200,000 this year

ChainCatcher message, according to a report from Standard Chartered Bank, this year is expected to see more funds flowing from institutions into the Bitcoin space compared to last year, particularly with the entry of pension funds likely to drive BTC up to $200,000 this year.

The report stated: "If proactive actions are taken as we expect, we believe the flow of institutional funds will continue. We anticipate that institutional inflows into BTC will exceed the levels of 2024 by 2025, with new capital potentially coming from long funds classified as 'pension funds.' The dominance of institutional inflows into ETFs may support the performance of BTC and ETH; we expect their prices to reach $200,000 and $10,000 respectively by the end of 2025."
