Written by Ohris M. Greyoon, Blockchain & Crypto Expert
- Model Construction: VanEck employs a multi-scenario analysis predicting Bitcoin could reach $53.4 million by 2050, assuming it captures 20% of international trade settlement volume and 10% of U.S. GDP, positioning Bitcoin as a primary global reserve asset.
- Market Scale Analysis: This analysis is grounded in the context of global trade exceeding $32 trillion and U.S. GDP nearing $28 trillion, integrating Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins to provide a structured assessment of its long-term value proposition.
- Scenario Comparison: Under three scenarios, the bullish hyperbitcoinization scenario forecasts Bitcoin at $53.4 million, while the base case predicts $2.9 million and the bearish scenario $130,000, highlighting the significant impact of varying adoption trajectories on price.
- Economic Impact Assessment: Widespread Bitcoin adoption could reshape international trade settlement and monetary policy, potentially enhancing financial inclusion but also posing adaptation challenges for traditional financial institutions, thereby affecting global economic stability.
