VanEck CEO says Bitcoin could hit $170k by 2025 

Bitcoin has performed outstandingly in 2024, recording an impressive 124.4% uptrend since this year. Notably, the digital asset’s hefty upsides trounce those of major traditional assets like gold and US stocks. 

Meanwhile, a notable market expert has inferred that Bitcoin will continue its impressive run next year. In a recent statement, Jan Van Eck, Vaneck’s chief executive officer, stated that Bitcoin will put in another remarkable performance in 2025. 

The CEO of the $115 billion asset manager said Bitcoin will continue its bullish momentum next year, targeting another uptick to between $150,000 and $170,000. Furthermore, Van Eck urged market participants to buy Bitcoin and gold as a hedge against fiscal uncertainties.

Meanwhile, his assertions nearly correlate with VanEck’s official Bitcoin forecast for 2025. Last week, the US Bitcoin spot ETF issuer predicted that Bitcoin would hit $180,000 while Ethereum would be worth $6,000.
