Zag a fascinating analysis from Ark Invest about where Bitcoin is headed. They expect that the market capitalization could grow to around $16 trillion by 2030, mainly driven by increasing institutional demand. That would be a significant jump considering we're currently around $1.6 trillion.
The interesting part is that these kinds of predictions are being taken more seriously as more major players enter the market. The shift from retail to institutional money is truly noticeable.
A quick note: CoinDesk reports on this kind of analysis, and they are owned by Bullish, a platform focused on institutional digital assets. They adhere to journalistic standards, so their reporting is quite solid. But it's good to keep that in mind when reading their articles.
