Unstoppable Bitcoin? CryptoQuant’s CEO Foresees Bull Run Extending To 2025

Source Newsbtc

According to Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin current market dynamics suggest a bullish phase that could extend well into April 2025.

Ju’s analysis comes amid BTC’s current uptrend, which appears to be a continuation of that seen in March, when BTC achieved a new all-time high, surging above $73,000 for the first time.

Bitcoin Market Cap Growth Indicates Prolonged Uptrend, Says CryptoQuant CEO

Notably, Ki Young Ju’s prediction stems from an analysis of Bitcoin’s market capitalization growth, which has been outpacing its realized capitalization — a measure of the market’s aggregate cost basis.

This trend is a classic indicator of a strong bullish cycle and has been a reliable harbinger of sustained upward momentum in past market cycles.

Ju’s analysis highlights that the market cap’s rapid growth compared to the realized cap suggests increased investor confidence and market momentum.

This pattern has historically signaled prolonged bullish phases. If the current trends persist, this cycle is expected to continue, leading to significant gains in Bitcoin’s value over the next year and a half.

Bitcoin has shown a positive trend, with a 1.9% increase in the past 24 hours and an over 12% rise in the past two weeks. At the time of writing, it is trading around $67,201.

Institutional Adoption And Market Sentiments Underpin Bullish Outlook

The optimistic outlook for BTC is not just based on historical trends and market cap analysis. Recent developments in institutional adoption provide further support for this positive trajectory.

Anthony Scaramucci, the founder and managing partner of SkyBridge Capital and a notable Bitcoin advocate, recently discussed on CNBC’s Squawk Box how US pension funds are beginning to invest in BTC.

“When you do the homework on Bitcoin, you go towards Bitcoin…sometimes when you’re early you get some bumps and scrapes, but I think it pays to be early in Bitcoin and we are still early in Bitcoin,” says SkyBridge Capital’s Anthony Scaramucci. pic.twitter.com/HTfbwH5VJG

This move by institutional investors, such as the State of Wisconsin Investment Board’s approximately $100 million investment in BTC, signals a broader acceptance and integration of BTC into traditional financial portfolios.

Scaramucci emphasized that institutional BTC adoption is unfolding rapidly, and he anticipates more pension funds will pursue Bitcoin investments. He pointed out that regulatory approvals have opened the doors for large-scale institutional participation in BTC.

This endorsement will make Bitcoin a staple in these institutions’ long-term asset allocation strategies. According to Scaramucci, understanding Bitcoin and the history of money is key to recognizing its potential.

He remarked, Being early in Bitcoin is profitable, and “we are still early… sometimes when you’re early you get some bumps and scrapes.”

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
