Bitcoin is holding steady at $107,568 after up 0.8% in 24 hours, and Bitwise has reaffirmed its $200,000 forecast for the end of 2025. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer, cited three main drivers: post-halving supply tightening, institutional adoption and growing regulatory clarity. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have already transformed the market and attracted mainstream capital. Institutions are allocating BTC as a reserve asset, and regulated access has given confidence. Bitwise says this institutional demand is structural, not speculative, and will continue to support price. JUST IN: Bitwise doubles down on $200K $BTC target for 2025 but casts doubt on new highs for $ETH and $SOL . pic.twitter.com/45ojQaLN6h — Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) July 1, 2025 Bitcoin’s 21 million hard cap and its perceived role as an inflation hedge make it a standout in a volatile macro environment. Key Drivers: Institutional Entry: ETF inflows are sustaining interest. Supply Constraints: Halving reduces new issuance. Regulatory Progress: Clarity brings cautious capital off the sidelines. Bitcoin Outperforms ETH and SOL While Bitcoin is looking up, Ethereum and Solana are facing headwinds. Ethereum’s high gas fees, congestion and uncertainty over its status as a security are weighing on it. Despite its role in DeFi and NFTs, ETH has yet to show post-Merge resilience that matches investor expectations. Solana, once touted as an “Ethereum killer” is dealing with reliability issues and validator centralization questions. Network outages have eroded confidence, even as its fast transactions and low fees are appealing. Bitwise is cautious on both altcoins for 2025. While stablecoin growth and ETF approvals could eventually turn sentiment around, Bitwise doesn’t think ETH or SOL will make new all-time highs in the near term. Bitcoin Chart Structure Points to Near-Term Upside On the chart, Bitcoin’s bounce from the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement at $103,270 is a continuation of the bullish trend. The price is now testing resistance at $107,832 with a breakout to $108,957 and $110,448. Bitcoin Price Chart – Source: Tradingview EMA Support: 50-period EMA ($106,993) is acting as support. MACD Signal: Histogram is positive. Candlestick: Bullish engulfing near support. BTC Trade: Long: Above $107,832 Stop: Below $105,400 Target: $108,957 to $110,448 Summary: Bitwise’s $200K Bitcoin price prediction is shaping up to be a compelling narrative for the next leg higher. While Ethereum and Solana continue to face network and regulatory challenges, Bitcoin stands out as the strongest institutional-grade digital asset heading into 2025. Volatility will persist, but with tightening supply, rising institutional demand, and growing ETF inflows, the fundamentals and momentum remain firmly on Bitcoin’s side.
