Fur Rao, Executive Director of the Hong Kong International New Economy Research Institute, believes that the core reason for Bitcoin's surge in 2025 is the widespread adoption of ETFs. Currently, price fluctuations are relatively small and significantly influenced by macroeconomic factors. Market opinions on the 2026 trend vary; one side expects a substantial correction, while the other is optimistic about reaching $150,000. Bitcoin still needs 5 to 10 years to gain social acceptance.

Deep Tide TechFlow News, January 3rd, Hong Kong International New Economy Research Institute Executive Director Fu Rao wrote in the Hong Kong media Ta Kung Pao article “Speculative Attributes Fade, Bitcoin Volatility Stabilizes,” pointing out that: The 2025 Bitcoin surge is different from previous years, mainly due to the widespread rollout of ETFs. Recently, the price correction has not been as significant as in the past four or five years. This change may be related to the influence of macroeconomic factors on traditional capital operation logic. Regarding Bitcoin’s trend prediction in 2026, there are two main opinions in the market: one believes Bitcoin may experience a significant correction or even return to a lower price range, while the other is optimistic about Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by the end of the year and aiming for $250,000 in 2027. Currently, Bitcoin’s entry into the traditional financial sphere is essentially complete, but it still requires 5 to 10 years to achieve the same social recognition as gold.
