In a recent interview, Asymmetric founder Joe McCann outlined a bullish case for Bitcoin ($400K) and Solana ($420), citing institutional inflows, ETF demand, and Solana’s scalability. He dismissed Ethereum as ‘not worth owning’ due to L2 cannibalization and weak fee revenue. McCann argued that Bitcoin’s supply cap and gold-like appeal could drive massive price appreciation, especially if US policies like Trump’s deregulation or a Bitcoin reserve materialize. Solana’s meme-coin resilience and ETF potential position it as a high-growth bet, while Ethereum struggles with structural issues. The crypto market, he claims, is now split between Bitcoin ETFs and meme-coins, leaving mid-tier tokens to prove their worth.
about Bitcoin $400K, Solana $420: Crypto Expert's Bold PredictionsCrypto Markets Rebound as US Lowers Tariffs, Bitcoin Hits $83K
Crypto markets saw a sharp rebound, adding nearly $250 billion in 12 hours after the US temporarily lowered tariffs, pushing total market cap back to $2.7 trillion. Bitcoin surged 8% to $83,425, while Ethereum and altcoins like XRP and Solana posted double-digit gains. Analysts remain divided—some see this as the start of a new bull run, while skeptics like Peter Schiff warn it may be a bear market rally. The broader stock market also rallied, with the S&P 500 up 9.5%. However, altseason remains elusive for most tokens, which are still far from their cycle peaks. The market’s next move may hinge on whether a US-China trade deal materializes in the coming months.

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies experienced significant declines amid renewed trade tensions and a drop in technology stocks, with Bitcoin falling 5% to $91,000 and Ethereum down 11% to $2,500.

Bitcoin has reclaimed the $96,000 mark after a rough start to the week, driven by expectations of pro-crypto policies from President-elect Donald Trump. Analysts predict a potential surge toward $200,000 in 2025, contingent on upcoming U.S. inflation data and institutional capital flows. Despite recent volatility and macroeconomic pressures, some forecasts suggest Bitcoin could reach between $145,000 and $249,000 by year-end, supported by favorable trends and growing institutional adoption.

However, concerns linger about the sustainability of this rally, as a recent survey indicated that 39% of participants view Bitcoin as the most likely investment to falter in 2025.
