Coinbase CEO предсказывает, что цена биткоина достигнет $1 млн к 2030 году благодаря регуляторным изменениям Headline: Coinbase CEO predicts Bitcoin price will reach $1 million by 2030 due to regulatory changes

Regulatory clarity and widespread acceptance of digital assets could drive bitcoin’s price to $1 million, according to Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong during the Stripe Cheeky Pint podcast.

He highlighted the recently passed GENIUS Act and CLARITY Act. The first regulates the circulation of stablecoins, while the second establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for the industry. Armstrong mentioned that their approval by the end of the year would be a significant milestone.

Armstrong also pointed out the development of a strategic bitcoin reserve. He emphasized that such an idea seemed unthinkable five years ago.

«Someone would have called you crazy if you seriously asserted that the U.S. government would officially hold bitcoin,» Armstrong stated.

Eric Trump, the son of the U.S. president, expressed his expectation that bitcoin’s value would rise to $1 million. At a blockchain conference in Wyoming on August 19, he identified himself as a «bitcoin maximalist,» as reported by CoinDesk.

Trump also revealed that he now dedicates 50% of his time to crypto projects. He is a co-founder of World Liberty Financial and American Bitcoin miner. Previously, the son of the American president urged buying the first cryptocurrency at low prices and recommended investing in Ethereum.

In January 2024, Ark Invest founder and CEO Cathie Wood stated that in a bullish scenario, the first cryptocurrency could reach $1.5 million by 2030. She later reiterated her prediction.

In March this year, former BitMEX CEO Arthur Hayes expressed a similar view, stating that the price of digital gold would soar to six-figure values due to Trump’s policies.

Co-founder of Blockstream and cypherpunk Adam Back described bitcoin’s price in May as «unjustifiably low.» He noted that during the current four-year market cycle, it might rise to $500,000 or even $1 million.

«For me, there’s no apparent logical reason why we are only at $100,000. That’s not very high considering all the changes compared to a couple of years ago,» the expert said at that time.

Founder and analyst of McKay Research James McKay urged bitcoin supporters not to get ahead of themselves in predicting the asset’s future price.

«Let’s try to hold the $124,000 level first, guys,» he wrote.

However, the expert stated that Armstrong’s prediction «is not something out of the realm of fantasy,» considering that Standard Chartered anticipates digital gold reaching $500,000 by 2028.

Over the past day, the first cryptocurrency depreciated by 0.4%, according to CoinGecko. At the time of writing, the asset is trading at $113,108.

To recall, on August 20, head of Bitwise’s European research unit Andre Dragosh said that including digital assets in retirement plans in the U.S. could push bitcoin’s price to $200,000 by the end of the year.

Analysts at Bernstein believe the cryptocurrency will only reach that mark by 2027.
