Bitcoin just took a wild ride, plummeting 10% in a flash and sending shivers down the spines of investors everywhere. Many are now severely impacted, facing significant losses and liquidations.
In an exclusive interview with Michelle Makori, Lead Anchor and Editor-in-Chief at Kitco News, Anthony Pompliano, Founder of Pomp Investments and Host of The Pomp Podcast, shared his perspective on Bitcoin’s future.
Bitcoin recently saw significant price movements, reaching $70,000 in mid-June before dropping below $60,000 and stabilizing above $61,000.
Pompliano went on to share insights into Bitcoin’s potential future trajectory. Drawing references from similar record-breaking moments, Pompliano highlighted Bitcoin’s historical tendency to double in price post halving and surpassing an all-time high.
“People often see big price movements in Bitcoin at the beginning of the year and in the last quarter (Q4). The middle of the year (Q2 and Q3) usually sees the price staying more stable. He believes that’s what is happening now.”
Pompliano identified three main categories of buyers influencing Bitcoin’s market dynamics: pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and ETF opportunities. He highlighted the potential impact of institutional participation, noting instances where pension funds have seen substantial returns from Bitcoin exposure. Additionally, he pointed to the growing interest from sovereign wealth funds.
The Role of Federal Reserve Decisions
Pompliano believes that upcoming Federal Reserve decisions on interest rates will play a crucial role in Bitcoin’s price movements. He predicts that whether the Fed cuts rates before or after the election, Bitcoin’s price is likely to rise over the next 18 months.
Pompliano also anticipates significant price changes once Ethereum ETFs hit the market. He views this as a major event for the cryptocurrency industry, potentially opening the door to more institutional investments.
n conclusion, Pompliano addressed a common economic concern, asserting that Bitcoin does not threaten the US dollar. Instead, he believes both Bitcoin and the dollar are strengthening simultaneously. He noted that while weaker currencies are declining, Bitcoin is seen as a store of value, and the dollar remains the preferred currency for spending. Pompliano also thinks the US government won’t ban Bitcoin, citing support from both political parties and major financial institutions.
He mentioned that former President Trump has become a vocal supporter of Bitcoin, which could positively influence cryptocurrencies and the market.
