Speaking about his hopes for the future of Bitcoin, he further stated that he believes BTC could reach $250,000. However, he added a warning that this could take a few years.
“Buyers see it (Bitcoin) as a complement to gold. That’s the fast model… and it’s very arduous, practically impossible, to vary that. Bitcoin will go to half the market capitalization of gold, or $250,000 per Bitcoin, however, that could take many years. It’s hard to put a time frame on it.”
Speaking about why he has this opinion, Van Eck stated that there has been a growth in the institutional adoption of the currency. In addition, with increased institutional adoption in the coming years, the value of Bitcoin should normally grow over time.
When advising investors on how much Bitcoin should make up their investment portfolios, Van Eck stated that this should be “between ½% and 3%” of their investment portfolios.

New 2-year low on Ethereum
Over the past week, Ethereum recorded its third highest drop in 2022 after the May drop and the January drop. Simply put, it has been falling for the second month in a row.
This depreciation of 21.52% has ended the hopes of investors who expected a valuation of $3,000 at the end of the month. This, after “conquering” the $2k levels. Unfortunately, for many, that will not be the case.
Going forward, Ethereum could be looking for a long-term rally or another major drop. Anyway, getting to $3K should be out of investors’ minds and hearts for a couple of weeks.
Recovering from this collapse will be difficult, as Ethereum’s market value has turned negative for the first time in two years.
