The broader cryptocurrency market edged slightly higher on Monday, though sentiment remains fragile as last week’s volatility continues to cast a shadow over price action. Attention is now centred on the high-stakes US-China trade negotiations taking place in London. Scheduled talks between US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are being closely watched by traders. Bitcoin is attempting to hold above the $105,000 level as it consolidates recent losses. At last check, BTC was trading at $105,628, still below the critical resistance at $106,058 — the highest closing level since December. A sustained move above that threshold could shift momentum back in favour of bulls, but absent a breakout, the threat of another leg lower persists. Amid this volatility, Cathie Wood, Founder and CEO of ARK Investment Management, has reiterated her ultra-bullish stance on Bitcoin, projecting that the cryptocurrency could reach a valuation of at least $1.5 million by 2030. Such a massive rally with not only benefit Bitcoin investors but also the broader cryptocurrency market. In a scenario where Bitcoin surpasses the $1 million, high-risk, high-reward tokens like Bitcoin Pepe could stand to gain disproportionately. The rally would likely reignite speculative fervour across the crypto market, driving capital toward smaller, meme-infused tokens with potential for explosive returns. Bitcoin Pepe, in particular, sits at a confluence of two potent narratives: infrastructure-level association with Bitcoin and meme-driven cultural momentum. This dual positioning enhances its appeal during bull runs, where investor appetite for novelty and asymmetric upside tends to spike. Cathie Wood’s Bitcoin prediction In a recent appearance on The Diary of a CEO, ARK Investment Management founder and CEO Cathie Wood reiterated her bold thesis that Bitcoin could surge to at least $1.5 million by 2030, citing a range of macro and structural tailwinds supporting long-term adoption. Wood identified institutional demand as a key growth catalyst, pointing to increased involvement from corporate entities. She argued that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a credible investment vehicle rather than a speculative asset. “Bitcoin is more of an investment because it does appreciate over time,” Wood said. “Now you go through [it], it’s volatile. No question. And that’s the first thing people have to know about it. But it is becoming less volatile as more and more investors hold it.” According to her, institutions are only beginning to move into the Bitcoin market, suggesting the current level of adoption is still in its early stages. She expects accelerating demand as fund managers and corporate treasuries seek exposure to an asset that offers both diversification and growth potential. Wood also framed Bitcoin as the first new asset class in centuries, contrasting it with traditional categories like equities, bonds, real estate, and commodities that have dominated financial markets since the 1600s. In her view, this historical shift reinforces Bitcoin’s structural appeal and sets the stage for exponential price appreciation over the coming years. Bitcoin Pepe shows no signs of slowing A renewed surge in Bitcoin, driven largely by institutional capital inflows, is once again igniting risk appetite across the broader cryptocurrency market. Among the beneficiaries of this cycle is Bitcoin Pepe — a project positioning itself at the convergence of meme coin culture and infrastructure development. As the first meme-centric Layer 2 network on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Pepe seeks to combine the base layer security of Bitcoin with the scalability of Solana-like architectures. The project has garnered attention not only for its narrative but also for its execution. It has raised over $14 million in its ongoing presale ahead of a scheduled listing announcement on June 17, a figure that underscores investor interest as speculative capital shifts toward early-stage, high-upside plays. To strengthen its Layer 2 ecosystem, Bitcoin Pepe has secured strategic partnerships with projects such as Super Meme, Catamoto, and Plena Finance. Bitcoin Pepe is banking on sustained momentum and heightened visibility from Bitcoin’s rally to propel it into the spotlight as a serious contender in the next wave of crypto speculation.
