Brian Vieten, a senior analyst at Siebert Financial, predicts Bitcoin could exceed $175,000 in the coming quarters. He bases this on increased institutional ownership, loans secured by Bitcoin ETF shares, and growing stablecoin use, which together strengthen market demand. The resilience of the market has improved since 2022 crypto lending failures, with ETFs supporting long-term holding and JPMorgan accepting BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust shares as loan collateral. Additionally, wider adoption of blockchain payments and stablecoins, backed by assets like short-term Treasuries under the upcoming GENIUS Act, are expected to boost liquidity and demand for Bitcoin further. Samsung's planned USDC transfers on Galaxy devices also signal growing stablecoin integration.
