El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings could represent a significant lifeline for the nation, popular venture capitalist Tim Draper told Cointelegraph. According to Draper, the country could soon become financially independent and pay off its loans to the International Monetary Fund if the Bitcoin price reaches $100,000.


Many popular crypto analysts have suggested that BTC will surpass the $100,000 mark during the 2024 to 2025 bull cycle. Following the 2024 halving, Bitcoin could see a cycle top of above $150,000, according to a research report by Bitfinex analysts shared with Cointelegraph:“Using a straightforward regression model, we predict a 160% post-halving price surge in the next 14 months, taking the price to between $150,000 - $169,000.”Source:Dune Analytics


Bitcoin’s price action will mainly depend on the institutional inflows from the United States spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, which turned positive after three consecutive weeks of net outflows. The U.S. Bitcoin ETFs amassed a total of $413 million worth of net inflows in the past week, according to Dune Analytics.
