Bitcoin hailed as anti‑fragile asset as analysts keep $150,000 year‑end target
CFTC Chairman Michael Selig said Bitcoin has repeatedly survived major market shocks, describing it as “anti‑fragile” and likening it to gold, silver, oil and gas. He urged Congress to adopt the CLARITY Act, which would create a federal framework for regulated cryptocurrency exchanges, set custody standards and limit conflicting state regulations, while also opposing a U.S. central‑bank digital currency.
Separately, analysts at investment bank Bernstein reaffirmed their bullish outlook, maintaining a $150,000 price target for Bitcoin by the end of 2026. They argue that despite the current correction, market maturity and potential liquidity inflows – bolstered by the possible passage of the CLARITY Act – could drive a strong rebound.
Both remarks highlight ongoing debate over crypto’s regulatory status and its impact on price expectations.
