BTC’s Forecast: A Roller‑Coaster of Numbers and Nods
What the experts think
Finder’s latest Bitcoin Price Predictions Report gathered 40 industry specialists to forecast where the digital gold could land this year. The consensus? A new all‑time high that’s about 28% higher than the record set last year.
Key Figures
- 2024 peak – ~ $88 000 (rounded by the panel)
- Year‑end drop – ~ $77 000
- 2025 outlook – $123 000
- 2030 projection – $367 000
Inside the Panel’s Predictions
- Carlo Di Clemente – COO of GroveX – nudges the 2024 peak to $90 000 and the end‑of‑year to $80 000. He cites the halving and a forthcoming Bitcoin ETF as “the best of both worlds,” assuming no wild global events.
- Vetle Lunde – Senior Analyst at K33 Research – sees a 2024 peak of $79 000, climbing to $150 000 in 2025. “ETFs are a win, but they’ll take time to push big numbers,” he says.
- Shubham Munde – Market Research Future – 58 % believe the upcoming halving will spark a bull run. He points to historical patterns of halvings spurring price surges.
- Daniel Polotsky – CoinFlip founder – predicts a $100 000 2024 peak and cites a mix of events: ETF approval, halving, Fed rate cuts, and political turbulence to create a perfect storm.
- Josh Fraser – Origin Protocol co‑founder – expects a $115 000 peak in 2024 and a year‑end of $110 000. He feels spot Bitcoin ETFs could bring in big inflows if paired with a QE‑style boost.
- John Hawkins – Senior Lecturer at the University of Canberra – stays skeptical. He notes that any spot ETF buzz might be a temporary spike; he remembers the 2021 futures ETF hype that eventually crashed.
Consensus on Actions
- 58 % say now’s the time to buy
- 38 % advise holding on their positions
- 5 % recommend selling
All in all, the panel’s feeling is fairly bullish, but with a pinch of caution nestled in the mix. Whether you’re a skeptic or a hopeful, 2024 looks like it’s poised to be a wild ride for Bitcoin.
