The recent rally has sparked renewed excitement in the crypto space, especially after a bold prediction from BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, who believes Bitcoin could trade well above $500,000 within the next 5 to 10 years.

Larry Fink’s Bitcoin Price Prediction

BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink predicts Bitcoin could surpass $500K within 5–10 years. He also labeled Bitcoin a potential $10 trillion asset, reinforcing growing institutional faith in crypto.

The momentum is backed by ETF activity. The U.S. market now hosts eleven Bitcoin Spot ETFs, with a combined AUM of $118.59B. Their total market cap stands at $120.76B, with a daily volume of $2.66B.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) leads the market with an AUM of $62.65B. In the first few days of this month alone, 21,303.28 BTC flowed into IBIT.

Larry Fink’s bold outlook highlights BlackRock’s belief in Bitcoin’s expanding role in the global financial system.
