Bitcoin in November and beyond
Bitcoin has increased by over 12% in the last week. It’s currently surrounding $67,700 per coin, and going up. Some investors and analysts expect that the coin hits $100,000 (at least) by the end of this year. For example, Anthony Pompliano, co-founder and partner of the crypto-hedge fund Morgan Creek Digital, is affirming this since early 2020.
The investment bank JP Morgan is a bit more conservative. Its more recent prediction aims to barely $73,000 per BTC for early 2022, and $146,000 per BTC in the long term. Other analysts are bolder, aiming from $300,000 to even $1 million per coin in the next years. For now, we can say for sure that a lot of retail investors and companies are putting faith and money in this currency.
According to a new report by CoinShares, Bitcoin hit a record of $6.4 billion in institutional money inflows during the last year. New financial and regulated tools, like the recent American ETFs, are appearing around this currency as well. Therefore, it’s very likely that new records are waiting to be reached soon.
