Bitcoin’s bullish momentum continues. On May 8, BTC surged 6.41% in a single day, once again climbing above the crucial $100K mark. In the last seven days, Bitcoin has risen by 6.9%, and in the past 24 hours alone, it gained at least 0.3%.
There’s a growing sense that Bitcoin could be entering a much larger phase of growth – and Wall Street is starting to agree.
Here’s a deep dive.
Larry Fink’s Bitcoin Price Prediction
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has made a bold prediction that’s lighting up the crypto world. He believes Bitcoin could trade well above $500,000 within the next 5 to 10 years.
Fink also called Bitcoin a potential $10 trillion asset – a massive statement that reflects rising institutional belief in the long-term value of crypto.
Bitcoin ETFs Are Fueling the Fire
The rally isn’t happening in a vacuum. A major driver behind Bitcoin’s recent strength is the surge in ETF activity. The U.S. market now has 11 Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which together manage $118.59 billion in assets under management. Their combined market cap is at $120.76 billion, with a daily trading volume of $2.66 billion.
Leading the charge is BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which alone holds $62.65 billion in AUM. In just the first few days of May, 21,303.28 BTC flowed into IBIT.
Fink’s outlook aligns closely with BlackRock’s ongoing investment in Bitcoin, signaling their strong conviction in its growing place in global finance.
