Bitcoin Approaching $80,000, Bernstein Says Bull Market Cycle Will Be Longer
Bernstein analysts state that the current crypto market has much stronger fundamentals as Bitcoin approaches the $80,000 level. Bernstein considers the correction to $60,000 some time ago as a clear bottom, which also serves as a foundation for more asymmetric price increases in the future.
Gautam Chhugani, Bernstein's chief analyst, emphasizes that the new phase of crypto industry growth has just begun and will last longer than previous cycles. This is driven by institutional fund flows through ETFs and aggressive accumulation by entities like Strategy. Data shows that 60% of Bitcoin supply has not changed hands in the past year, proving the dominance of long-term holders who maintain supply stability in the market.
Besides Bitcoin factors, this report highlights stablecoin adoption reaching a record $300 billion as concrete evidence of blockchain usage in the global payment system. Bernstein sees the integration of traditional financial infrastructure into blockchain networks as a key catalyst that will extend the bull market duration. Although technological risks remain a concern, the ecosystem is considered to have enough transition time to update security standards in the future.
