Foreign media: Russian interviewed investors expect Bitcoin to reach a peak of $160,000 in this cycle

ChainCatcher news reports that a survey conducted by the Russian state news agency TASS shows that Russian investors expect Bitcoin to potentially rise to $160,000 in this cycle, but it is unlikely to double to $200,000 in the short term.

As for the reasons behind Bitcoin's recent rise, analysts point to macroeconomic changes, such as the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts after a prolonged tightening phase, as well as increasing global liquidity and inflation concerns, all of which may drive investors toward scarce assets like Bitcoin. Institutional adoption is also a significant factor, including large-scale purchases by companies like MicroStrategy and BlackRock.

Despite the market's enthusiasm, analysts remain cautious about Bitcoin's long-term prospects. Some respondents believe there are two possible scenarios for Bitcoin's future: one is a "conservative target" of $130,000, and the other is a more bullish ceiling of reaching $160,000 by mid-summer 2025. However, they unanimously agree that it is unlikely to reach $200,000 in the current cycle.
