1 Top Cryptocurrency to Buy Before It Soars 194%, According to the Co-Founder of Ethereum and Cardano
Is Bitcoin on the path to $250,000 this year?
In a recent podcast interview with CNBC, Charles Hoskinson, the co-founder of both Ethereum and Cardano, suggested that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) could hit a price of $250,000 this year. That's an astounding 194% increase from its current price of $85,000.
So what makes Hoskinson so confident that Bitcoin is poised for a major rally in the second half of 2025?
The primary reason for optimism, says Hoskinson, is the growing rate of Bitcoin adoption. As he points out, there are now 659 million crypto users worldwide. That's up 13% on a year-over-year basis. Crypto is a truly global phenomenon, so even if Bitcoin adoption in the United States stalls out due to the slowing of economic growth, there is still demand for it worldwide.
