CryptoQuant CEO predicts 3–5x Bitcoin growth in current cycle

Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, predicts that Bitcoin may see a 3–5x increase in value during the current bull cycle, a significant reduction from the 10x+ parabolic rallies seen in previous cycles.

Ju attributes this shift to the maturation of the market and the increasing influence of institutional investors. He notes that while a larger market capitalization and institutional presence may limit explosive upside gains, they also serve to dampen volatility, potentially leading to milder bear markets compared to the 80% crashes experienced in the past.

On-chain metrics and profitability indices support the view that Bitcoin is transitioning from a highly speculative retail-driven asset into one more suitable for long-term capital. If Bitcoin achieves widespread use as a stable currency, Ju suggests its impact on the global financial system could be profound.
