One can add to that some welcome developments on the regulatory front, with the crypto world pleased when the US Treasury did away with two of its more contentious proposals.<\/p>\n And yet the channel puts forward an expert\u2019s forecast of a return to the $10,000 mark for Bitcoin, something of a signal for those in the market. Oil at $110 a barrel is only one source of the instability afflicting global markets and the slide in tech equities; Willy Woo of the on-chain experts argues that Bitcoin has already put its correction behind it and stands more resilient than the stock market. But then again, the prevailing sentiment is for a bearish BTC over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n \u25b2 Long<\/span> \u00b7 00:27 \u00b7 Watch the video<\/a> \u00b7 All of the channel's calls and accuracy<\/a><\/p>\n Bitcoin is poised to reach $175,000 in the coming year on the back of solid demand, says Brian Vieten of Siebert Financial. The Research Analyst contends that with the supply side no longer exerting the kind of pressure it did when Bitcoin hit a low of $58,000 last June, the conditions are right for a fresh period of growth.<\/p>\n Vieten sees the next bull run being propelled by such entities as miners and exchanges, not to mention lending platforms and digital asset treasuries (DATs). In his view, the digital asset space has become a more transparent and secure place to be. The big exchanges can be relied upon, DATs present little in the way of collateral risk, and lending platforms are sturdier; JP Morgan is one of the banks that has put its stamp of approval on Bitcoin as collateral.<\/p>\n Then there are the ETFs, which continue to see healthy inflows, and MicroStrategy among the better-capitalized DATs. With regulatory moves on the horizon like the Genius Act, Vieten expects an upturn in institutional demand via stablecoins and tokenized assets.<\/p>\n<\/section>\nAltcoin Daily: possible drop to $10,000 despite ETP inflows and regulatory relief<\/h2>\n
