Bitcoin's Stability Expected Amid ETF Expansion and Economic Influences

According to PANews, Fu Rao, Executive Director of the Hong Kong International New Economy Research Institute, discussed Bitcoin's evolving market dynamics in an article for Hong Kong media outlet Ta Kung Pao. He highlighted that Bitcoin's surge in 2025 differs from previous years, primarily due to the widespread adoption of ETFs. The recent price adjustments are relatively moderate compared to the past four to five years, potentially influenced by traditional financial logic and macroeconomic factors. Looking ahead to 2026, market predictions for Bitcoin's trajectory are divided. One group anticipates a significant price correction, possibly returning to lower price ranges. Conversely, another group of investors is optimistic about Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by the end of the year and potentially hitting $250,000 in 2027. While Bitcoin has largely entered the traditional financial landscape, achieving the societal recognition level of gold may take an additional five to ten years.
