The next explosive Bitcoin movement could send the asset to $ 250,000 by the end of 2025, according to Scott Melker, crypto analyst and host of The wolf of all the streets podcast.
Speaking in a recent interview, Melker cited increasing institutional interest and the drop in volatility as key factors that could stimulate the next step.
“250K this year, completely possible,” said Melker, adding that Bitcoin’s volatility (BTC) has decreased considerably in recent years.
“It was about three times as volatile as the S&P. Now, it’s less than twice.” He underlined an increased involvement of pension funds and ETF issuers as proof of a more mature and stable market.
Change, he argued, reflects a broader trend in institutional adoption. “The more institutional money, the more Wall Street’s money, the more long -term holders, get involved, the less volatility,” said Melker.

Cryptographic markets show signs of strength in 2025
Market activity in 2025 has already shown signs of strength. Bitcoin exceeded $ 104,000, while Ether (ETH) has recovered levels above $ 2,600.
The addition of Coinbase to the S&P 500 has marked an important step for the integration of crypto into consumer finance. Melker noted that the company does not only enter the index, but did it in the top 50 by market capitalization – the reflection of the depth of certain cryptographic companies.
In addition to coinbase, companies like Galaxy Digital and Etoro have progressed with public lists, signaling confidence under regulatory conditions under the current US administration.
Melker said that this environment, reinforced by abandoned dry prosecution and favorable decrees, created what he calls “an extremely optimistic backdrop” for the sector.
While Bitcoin remains the main objective, Melker has recognized a renewed interest in Altcoins. A recent price action has seen Ethereum devote Bitcoin, triggering a rally through smaller tokens-a sign, he said, that “money” enters space rather than simply turning into it.

Do not exclude a wild race
Despite optimism, Melker has tempered expectations, noting that most experts provide cycle heights between $ 120,000 and $ 150,000. However, he pointed out that wild overvoltages are not out of the ordinary in crypto.
“From the stockings of 2020 to the last Haussier market, Bitcoin went from $ 3,000 to $ 69,000. A 2.5x from here would not be a big problem. ”
On May 16, the X Analytics APSK32 account argued that Bitcoin has a “decent chance” to reach $ 250,000 or more in 2025 when attention turns into gold movements.
On April 28, Peter Chung, responsible for the research of the quantitative trade company Presto, also repeated his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $ 210,000 by the end of 2025.
On April 22, Standard Chartered and Intellectia AI analysts said that the institutional demand for Bitcoin of the stock -up funds and merchants seeking to shake against macroeconomic risk could lead to more than double the Bitcoin price this year.
