Analysis: BTC could rise to $285,000 by 2030 if Citigroup forecasts come true
Citibank predicted in its latest report that the total supply of stablecoins will increase to $1.6 trillion by 2030 under the baseline scenario, and could reach $3.7 trillion under the optimistic scenario. The analysis believes that if Citigroup's prediction is realized and the regulatory momentum under the Trump administration continues, then Bitcoin is expected to enter a price discovery phase. Based on the historical ratio of stablecoin growth to BTC price appreciation – stablecoin growth of 6.7 times may translate into Bitcoin growth of 3 to 5 times. The price of Bitcoin could reach $285,000 by 2030, with a more optimistic upper limit possibly approaching $475,000 per coin. Even under a conservative assumption (i.e. only 25% of stablecoin growth shifting to Bitcoin), Bitcoin may still grow by 200% to 250% from current levels, with prices forecasted to rise to between $190,000 and $237,500 by 2030.
