<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words"><strong>Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, has predicted that Bitcoin could transition from a speculative investment to a standard currency by 2030.</strong></p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Ju cited increasing institutional involvement and declining volatility as key factors. According to him, this change would align with Satoshi Nakamoto’s original vision of BTC as “P2P Electronic Cash.”</p>

<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">As stated by <a href="https://twitter.com/ki_young_ju/status/1849350184100331556" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CryptoQuant CEO</a>, mining difficulty has surged 378% over the past three years. The data shows that this metric has consistently reached new all-time highs.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">This new scenario is very different from 2009 when individuals could mine 50 BTC using a single personal computer.</p>

 <p>Bitcoin's mining difficulty, which reflects the intensity of competition, has consistently hit all-time highs, increasing by 378% over the past three years.</p>

<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">According to Ki Young Ju, today’s mining industry is dominated by large companies backed by institutional investors. Their involvement has made it increasingly difficult for individual miners to participate.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">He also suggests that this institutional dominance, while raising entry barriers, is actually beneficial for Bitcoin’s future as a currency. This could reduce market volatility and stabilize its value.</p>
<h3 id="span-style-font-weight-400-btc-will-become-a-currency-by-2030-span"><span style="font-weight: 400;">BTC will become a currency by 2030</span></h3>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The CryptoQuant CEO outlines several factors that could facilitate Bitcoin’s transition to a currency. He points to the 2028 halving event as a potential catalyst. He also suggested that the currency’s decreasing volatility will spark serious discussions about its use as a currency.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">The growing involvement of major fintech companies in the cryptocurrency space, especially in stablecoin infrastructure, could speed up this transition.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Ki Young Ju specifically mentions Stripe’s entry into the stablecoin sector. He predicts that with proper regulations in place, major fintech players could drive mass stablecoin adoption within three years.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">This widespread adoption of stablecoins and increased familiarity with blockchain wallets could cut the grass for Bitcoin’s use as a currency.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">According to the CEO, the change might be achieved through various technical means, including protocol improvements, layer 2 networks, or wrapped Bitcoin solutions.</p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap break-words">Ki Young Ju stressed that this transition would fulfill Satoshi’s original vision of Bitcoin as electronic cash rather than digital gold.</p>
