The latest Bitcoin rally has got everyone feeling optimistic again in the crypto space, and forecasts are now as high as $150,000 by mid-2025. The bullish forecast is driven by the growing Bitcoin FOMO and institutional money. Nigel Green, CEO of Devere Group, says these are the two main drivers of Bitcoin being repositioned as a “must-have” asset in every portfolio around the world. Bitcoin has broken $100,000 and has created a snowball effect, fueling investor sentiment and demand.
Why is Bitcoin FOMO pushing BTC higher?
FOMO has become the driving force behind Bitcoin’s rally. Green says the psychological impact of Bitcoin breaking $100,000 has accelerated retail and institutional interest.
Green explains that when Bitcoin goes to new highs, the snowball effect kicks in. Early adopters take profits and demand increases. With each new high, a new set of users joins the party. This snowballing effect keeps proving that Bitcoin FOMO can take BTC to new highs.
Retail and Institutional Players
Bitcoin FOMO is not just for retail investors. Institutions have become heavily exposed to Bitcoin through ETFs, direct holdings, and partnerships with crypto companies. These steps increase the credibility and liquidity of Bitcoin and encourage more adoption.
Institutional involvement has changed the Bitcoin market and made it a stable instrument for speculating and long-term investing. Green says that two key factors are increased investment vehicles and institutional activity around market stabilization.
They have created various investment products around Bitcoin – ETFs and digital asset funds that increase market access. Institutions also provide liquidity and make the market less volatile, thus making the price of this new asset class more stable. This has made Bitcoin a modern store of value and inflation hedge in the mainstream.
Beyond Bitcoin FOMO and institutional activity, other macro and regulatory developments are cementing Bitcoin as the top digital asset.
Inflation, Geopolitical Risk and Pro-Crypto Regulatory Clarity
The persistent inflation and geopolitical risk has increased demand for Bitcoin as a safe haven. Its decentralized and limited supply makes it a better alternative to traditional financial instruments.
Under the leadership of Donald Trump and a crypto-friendly SEC chair, regulatory clarity is expected to improve. Green says this means increased investor confidence and market transparency.
Conclusion: The Road to $150K
The $150,000 forecast is optimistic but not without obstacles. Short term sell-offs and market corrections could slow down the momentum, but the trend looks like it will continue.
As Green puts it, all the pieces are falling into place. Bitcoin FOMO, institutional adoption, inflation and regulatory developments will combine to make Bitcoin $150,000 by mid-2025.
Never brighter for crypto, the future is now as it’s becoming a must have asset. The next few months will most probably see increased activity and new highs, further cementing Bitcoin’s place as a cornerstone of the modern financial ecosystem.
