Odaily Planet Daily News Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson predicted in an interview with CNBC podcast that Bitcoin prices are expected to climb to $250,000 by the end of this year or next year. He pointed out that the upcoming US cryptocurrency legislation may attract large companies to get involved in the field of crypto assets. Once the impact of the "tariff issue" is proven to be insignificant, market stability will be restored, creating favorable conditions for the next bull market.
Hoskinson said that the cryptocurrency market may stagnate in the next three to five months, but a strong speculative boom is expected in August or September, which may last for six to twelve months. In addition, clearer stablecoin regulatory rules may prompt the "Big Seven" in the US stock market to adopt tokens pegged to the US dollar. To support his $250,000 price prediction, Hoskinson emphasized the fact that global cryptocurrency adoption in 2024 increased significantly by 13% year-on-year, and the current user base has reached 659 million, according to Crypto.com. He also predicted that as the geopolitical environment gradually moves away from a "rules-based order," cryptocurrencies will become the "only option" for companies to achieve globalization.
