A prominent figure in the cryptocurrency space made a bold prediction that Bitcoin could hit a total market capitalization of $15 trillion in the next four years.


Pantera Capital CEO Dan Morehead said that global blockchain adoption still lags compared to other global financial assets, saying that blockchain’s untapped potential could drive Bitcoin to an exponential growth in its market capitalization.

The Pantera executive believes that Bitcoin price could soar to $740,000 per coin, something the CEO said would happen in the next four years.


Morehead said that the price surge will be fueled by the growing technology adoption in the financial sector, adding that “blockchain remains largely untapped.”

Some might think that $15 trillion is an exaggerated figure but it is not, according to the crypto executive.


Morehead explained that a $15-trillion market capitalization for BTC is still modest, pointing out that global financial assets have a market capitalization of $500 trillion. Financial Wealth Needs Tech


Morehead did not pluck his forecast out of thin air, saying that is based on the fact that financial wealth needs technology.


The crypto executive pointed out that around 95% of financial wealth is not yet engaging in technology. Many analysts see blockchain technology revolutionizing the financial sector.

“95% of financial wealth has not addressed blockchain. They are just beginning this massive transformation now. When they do, Bitcoin might be at something like $740,000/BTC,” he noted.


Morehead said Bitcoin could reach a $15 trillion market cap as early as April 2028. However, he cautioned that hitting this market cap level might take a few years more than April 2028, citing the price trend’s unpredictability as the main driver of Bitcoin’s valuation trajectory.

As of writing, Bitcoin is being traded at $93,785 per coin with a total market capitalization of $1.8 trillion. Bitcoin: Historical Growth


Morehead said that historically, there are three orders of magnitude in BTC’s price surge, pointing out that another price growth is possible.


He noted that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are compelling investments because digital assets have high potential returns relative to their risk profile. “The expected value of the trade is the most compelling I have seen in almost 40 years of doing this,” he added.
