According to Forbes, ARK Invest released a report predicting that as Bitcoin gradually matures into a new institutional asset class, its market capitalization could grow from the current nearly $2 trillion to $16 trillion by 2030, with an annual compound growth rate of about 63% over the next five years. ARK expects the total market size of smart contract networks and on-chain digital currencies to reach $28 trillion by 2030, with Bitcoin potentially accounting for about 70%, primarily composed of smart contract networks like Ethereum, Solana, and others. The report believes that the growth of Bitcoin and the crypto market will benefit from some absorption of gold market value, as well as the tokenization of assets such as stocks, bonds, real estate, and currencies; however, widespread adoption still depends on clear regulations and mature institutional infrastructure.
