Institutional demand could drive Bitcoin price past $200,000 in 2025

Institutional demand could drive Bitcoin price past $200,000 in 2025

Bitcoin’s (CRYPTO:BTC) price may rise to $200,000 in 2025, driven by institutional demand and inflows into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), according to research from Standard Chartered and Intellectia AI.

The reports suggest that institutional investors, including corporate buyers and exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, could significantly increase Bitcoin’s price by seeking to hedge against macroeconomic risks.

Fei Chen, chief investment strategist at Intellectia AI, cautioned that the forecast is conditional and vulnerable to black swan events such as major regulatory crackdowns or geopolitical crises.

Bitcoin surpassed $90,000 on April 22, marking its highest level in six weeks, coinciding with the largest daily net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs since January.

Data from CoinGlass showed that 11 US spot Bitcoin funds collectively received over $380 million in net inflows on April 21.

Corporate Bitcoin treasuries currently hold nearly $65 billion worth of BTC, according to Bitcointreasuries.net.

Investment bank JP Morgan noted in January that both gold and Bitcoin have become increasingly important components of investor portfolios as hedges against geopolitical risk and inflation.

However, Binance Research reported that Bitcoin’s correlation with gold has been low since early April, with Bitcoin instead showing a closer correlation to equities.

Spencer Yang, a contributor to the Fractal Bitcoin project, said that despite rising institutional interest, Bitcoin’s long-term resilience depends on actual network usage and transactions, not just speculative holding.

“That means people actually transacting, building, and experimenting on the network — not just holding BTC as a speculative asset,” Yang emphasised.

The outlook for Bitcoin remains positive but contingent on market stability and broader adoption beyond investment speculation.

At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $92,928.75.
