Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson predicts that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 before the end of the current market cycle, and hit a market capitalization of $10 trillion within the next decade as adoption surges. This prediction stems from growing demand for Bitcoin from institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds. Hoskinson believes Bitcoin’s value will be further bolstered by the increasing integration of decentralized finance (DeFi) into the blockchain ecosystem. He anticipates that this growth will fuel broader adoption, leading to regulatory clarity that could unlock substantial capital flow into Bitcoin, potentially contributing to an unprecedented market value surge.
