A crypto expert predicts $100,000 for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) by the end of the year, saying that he has never seen such a bullish setup before.
What Happened: Bitcoin investor Scott Melker stated that he is "incredibly bullish" as the current market backdrop is unlike anything he's seen before, with tangible narratives finally coming to fruition.
Highlighting several factors that could push the market much higher, he predicts Bitcoin reaching $100,000 by the end of the year, representing a 53.85% increase from its current price of $65,000. Some of the factors driving the rally could be the influx of traditional finance money into Bitcoin via ETFs and the launch of Spot Ethereum ETFs.
Melker believes that wealth managers may change policies and $40 billion in inflows by the end of the year is achievable.

Why It Matters: Melker also emphasized the potential impact of the upcoming Bitcoin Conference, stating, "The Bitcoin conference is where narratives are born, developed, and take life." He suggested that major announcements could be made at the conference, further propelling the market.
He also pointed out the potential of tokenization in revolutionizing global investing. He cited BlackRock's launch of BUIDL, a tokenized treasury that has already surpassed $500 million, as an example of this trend.
Finally, Melker touched on the role of stablecoins in the crypto market, highlighting the ongoing battle for market dominance between Tether‘s (CRYPTO: USDT) and Circle‘s (CRYPTO: USDC). With the stablecoin market currently valued at $161 billion, Melker believes it could accelerate toward the $1 trillion mark by 2030.
What’s Next: The influence of Bitcoin as an institutional asset class is expected to be thoroughly explored at Benzinga’s upcoming Future of Digital Assets event on Nov. 19.
