Meanwhile, Matt Hougan, chief investment officer of crypto asset manager Bitwise, predicted that bitcoin could potentially reach $100,000 by the end of the year.
Hougan cited factors such as changing political attitudes towards bitcoin and possible interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve as possible drivers of this optimistic outlook.
