Bitcoin (BTC) Price 2Q Target of $120K May Be Too Conservative: Standard Chartered

  • Geoffrey Kendrick, who leads digital asset strategy at Standard Chartered, forecasted that Bitcoin could reach $120,000 by the second quarter of 2025, noting that it was trading close to $99,000 in early May of that year.
  • Kendrick attributed this forecast to institutional inflows like $5.3 billion into U.S. Spot Bitcoin ETFs and strategic shifts away from U.S. Assets toward Bitcoin.
  • Major holders such as MicroStrategy increasing Bitcoin holdings and sovereign wealth funds buying related ETFs underpin this bullish view, signaling growing institutional adoption.
  • Kendrick apologized that his $120,000 Q2 target "may be too low" and suggested Bitcoin could rally further toward $200,000 by the end of 2025 as gains continue.
  • This outlook implies accelerating institutional demand and policy alignment, with upcoming filings expected to reveal continued accumulation and support for higher Bitcoin prices.
