Furthermore, the bank envisions even more substantial gains in the following year, with a forecasted price of $250,000 for Bitcoin in 2025. The optimism is grounded in the anticipated impact of ongoing spot <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-etf/">Bitcoin ETF</a> inflows and the forthcoming <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-halving/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin-halving/">Bitcoin halving</a> event, factors expected to bolster the asset’s value.

Geoffrey Kendrick, one of Standard Chartered’s leading analysts, draws a parallel between Bitcoin and gold, suggesting that Bitcoin’s trajectory mirrors that of gold following the approval of gold ETFs in the United States. Based on the <a href="https://crypto.news/jpmorgan-bitcoin-outpaces-gold-in-investor-portfolios/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/jpmorgan-bitcoin-outpaces-gold-in-investor-portfolios/">analogy</a>, the bank projects a potential price increase for Bitcoin, aligning with portfolio optimization strategies. 
To achieve the optimal portfolio balance, Kendrick proposes allocating 80% to gold and 20% to Bitcoin. This balance, he argues, necessitates a Bitcoin price increase to $190,000 to maintain the desired allocation.
