- Institutional Investment Growth: Following the SEC's approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in early 2024, major financial institutions are now offering Bitcoin investment products, which is expected to enhance market participation and drive prices up, with conservative estimates projecting $75,000 by 2026.
- Technological Advancements Driving Value: The Lightning Network and Taproot upgrades improve transaction speed and privacy features, enhancing Bitcoin's utility and likely attracting more users and institutional investments, thereby pushing prices higher.
