Bitcoin’s next supercycle: why a supply shock could send prices soaring
ABOUT
Transform Ventures CEO and author of "Bitcoin Supercycle” Michael Terpin joins CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie on Markets Outlook to explain why he believes the bear market is over and "Bitcoin winter," the long climb back to the top, has officially begun. Terpin lays out his path to $120K by late next year, why 2028-29 could bring a rare collision of presidential and stock market cycles, when he sees million-dollar bitcoin, and why he believes an altcoin supercycle is coming too.
Plus, GSR’s Managing Director of Asset Management Andy Baehr on why fixed income, not equities, will be the real catalyst that takes tokenization mainstream.
