Binance CEO sees Bitcoin topping $80,000
Bitcoin is set to continue its record-breaking rally and rise above $80,000 as institutional investors pour more money into the crypto-backed exchange-traded funds, according to Binance chief executive officer Richard Teng.
The launch of Bitcoin ETF in the US earlier this year has attracted institutional investors and new fund flows, Teng said at an event in Bangkok on Sunday, adding «we're just getting started.»
Teng said he had earlier estimated the cryptocurrency would end the year at around $80,000, but now sees it exceeding that «with supply reducing and demand continuing to come through.» He reiterated the forecast was his personal view, adding the rally won't be a «straight line» and the ups and downs will be good for the market.
Bitcoin has surged 56% this year, reaching an all-time high of almost $73,798 last week. The rally has sparked concerns of a bubble among some investors, triggering a bout of volatility and selloff in recent sessions.
