PANews reported on January 1 that according to CNBC, Sid Powell, CEO and co-founder of the centralized financial platform Maple Finance, predicted that by the end of 2025, the price of Bitcoin will be between $180,000 and $200,000. Sid Powell said, "If you look back at history, when we saw the emergence of gold ETFs, capital inflows increased significantly in the following years, and I think we can expect the same to happen with Bitcoin ETFs. As Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies become the core asset allocation of institutional asset managers, we will see more capital inflows in the following years." In addition, Sid Powell believes that another factor driving the rise in Bitcoin prices is the expectation that the United States will establish a strategic reserve of Bitcoin.
