Jakarta, Pintu News – Renowned crypto analyst and host of The Wolf of All Streets podcast, Scott Melker, claims that the price of Bitcoin could potentially rise to $250,000 or around Rp4.1 billion by the end of 2025.

In a recent interview, Melker cited growing institutional interest and declining volatility as the two main drivers of a possible price spike. He explained that Bitcoin is not as volatile as it used to be and is starting to show more stable asset characteristics. “$4 billion this year? Very possible,” he said optimistically.

According to Melker, the ratio of Bitcoin’s volatility to stock indices such as the S&P 500 is now only two times, whereas it was three times before. This shows that the crypto market, especially Bitcoin, has matured with the presence of large investors such as pension funds and ETF issuers.

He also emphasized that as more institutional money comes in, volatility decreases. These factors collectively provide a strong foundation for Bitcoin to soar to unprecedented price levels.

Crypto Market Shows Strength in 2025

The year 2025 opened with a resounding performance from the crypto market, marked by a surge in the price of Bitcoin that broke through $104,000 or around Rp1.7 billion. At the same time, Ethereum managed to surpass the psychological barrier of $2,600. This reflects the improving strength of the market, with renewed interest flowing not only in Bitcoin, but also in altcoins.

Melker noted that this surge is not merely a rotation of capital within the crypto market, but rather an indication of an influx of new funds. He cited Ethereum, which has outperformed Bitcoin in recent weeks, as evidence that investors are starting to look at other crypto projects.

This could be the first sign of a major bull run cycle involving more crypto assets. With these market conditions, the scenario of Bitcoin reaching Rp4 billion is not a pipe dream.

Institutional Support and Favorable Regulatory Conditions

Bitcoin's position relative to gold has improved considerably since April. This is the indicator that gives me hope for higher than expected returns later this year.

One indicator of crypto’s strength in the eyes of institutions is Coinbase’s inclusion into the S&P 500 index. Not only that, Coinbase is also in the top 50 by market capitalization, signaling that crypto companies have become an important part of mainstream finance.

In addition to Coinbase, companies such as Galaxy Digital and eToro are also stepping into the public markets, showing high confidence in the current regulatory climate.

Scott Melker called the friendly regulatory environment, including the decision to dismiss several lawsuits from the SEC and executive orders supporting crypto innovation, a “very bullish foundation.”

In his view, the combination of favorable regulation and institutional investor enthusiasm created ideal conditions for Bitcoin’s price surge. This support not only drove up the price, but also accelerated the global adoption of cryptocurrencies.

Upward Cycle May Still Be Wild

While many analysts expect the peak price of Bitcoin in this cycle to be in the range of $120,000 to $150,000 (approximately Rp1.9 billion – Rp2.5 billion), Melker does not rule out more extreme price spikes.

He cited the example of Bitcoin’s price jump from $3,000 to $69,000 in the previous bull run, which was a more than 20-fold increase. Therefore, a 2.5 times increase from the current level is not something extraordinary in the crypto world.

Melker’s opinion is also supported by other analysts such as Peter Chung of Presto and research firm Intellectia AI, who predict the price of Bitcoin could reach $210,000 (Rp3.4 billion) to more than $250,000 by the end of 2025.

X analyst Apsk32’s account also reinforces this optimism, saying that Bitcoin’s movements that mimic gold’s performance could lead the price to new peaks. All of this suggests that a big spike in the near future is not just a possibility, but a realistic opportunity.
