The future trajectory of Bitcoin’s price and its influence in the broader market was a key topic of discussion in a recent roundtable. The conversation centered on whether Bitcoin could hit new record highs by year-end or risk dropping below $40,000.
Rob Nelson, the roundtable anchor, facilitated the discussion, with Gary Cardone of Cardone Digital Ventures providing his insights on Bitcoin’s future and its evolving role in the global financial system.
When asked about the possibility of Bitcoin falling below $40,000, Cardone was confident that the worst might be behind us. “I think we’ve seen the low at the $49,000 range. It bounced hard off that,” he said. Reflecting on Bitcoin’s remarkable rise over the past year, he added, “Last summer, Bitcoin was at $16,000. We’ve come a long way since then.”
Cardone also highlighted the entry of prominent financial players like Howard Lutnick from Cantor Fitzgerald as a strong indicator of the market’s growing momentum. “When Lutnick steps in, he supercharges the industry,” Cardone remarked. He also pointed to institutions like Fidelity as potential catalysts for Bitcoin’s growth, adding, “We needed a new player with different strengths to really give the industry a push.”
Lutnick’s involvement in the cryptocurrency space, especially his role as a custodian of treasuries for Tether, suggests that he may be a strong advocate for crypto-friendly policies. His influence could further drive institutional support for Bitcoin.
When the discussion turned to Bitcoin’s long-term potential, Cardone was asked if it could hit $1 million within five years. He responded by underscoring the importance of Bitcoin reaching key market cap milestones. “In order to get to $4 trillion, we’ve got to get to $3 trillion first. At $100,000 per coin, you’re looking at a $2.1 trillion market cap—that’s not that big,” he explained.
Cardone concluded with an optimistic prediction: Bitcoin needs to surpass its previous all-time highs to gain momentum, which could push its market dominance into the high seventies. He described this outlook as an “extremely positive” sign for the cryptocurrency’s future.
