- Market Dominance: Bitcoin's market capitalization exceeds $1.9 trillion, accounting for over half of the total value of all cryptocurrencies, demonstrating its dominant position in digital assets despite competition from stablecoins.
- Investment Return Potential: Ark Investment Management forecasts that Bitcoin could reach $1.2 million by 2030, implying a potential upside of 1,159% from its current price of $95,300, which is attracting investor interest.
- Institutional Investment Trend: By 2030, institutional investors are expected to allocate about 6.5% of their assets, equating to approximately $13 trillion, to Bitcoin, boosting market demand and price, particularly with the proliferation of ETFs.
- Challenges as Digital Gold: Although Bitcoin is viewed as digital gold, its performance in the face of economic uncertainty has not matched that of gold, which may affect its perception as a store of value and subsequently influence institutional investment willingness.
