Despite Bitcoin’s choppy price action over the past few days, prominent analysts remain extremely bullish on its long-term prospects. Popular Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas has made a bold Bitcoin prediction, claiming that spot BTC ETFs will have three times the AUM of Gold ETFs in 3 to 5 years. As of April 2025, global gold-backed ETFs reached a record high in assets under management (AUM) of $345 billion. Even assuming the impossible that the Gold ETFs AUM won’t increase, Balchunas’s projection would mean spot Bitcoin ETFs will see a 26x surge to see a cumulative AUM of $1.035 trillion within a 5-year window. Spot Bitcoin ETFs Record Staggering Inflows Balchunas’s Bitcoin prediction was inspired by the strong spot BTC ETF inflows, particularly BlackRock’s IBIT, despite the choppy price action. With a staggering $531 million in inflows on Monday, IBIT has now recorded 15 consecutive days of inflows, bringing its individual AUM to $44.2 billion. Balchunas noted that IBIT’s year-to-date inflows have reached $6.963 billion, despite Bitcoin’s price rising by only 4% YTD. In contrast, SPDR’s GLD gold ETF has recorded just $6.5 billion in inflows, despite a 23% rally in the price of gold this year. “ To take in more cash in that scenario is really good sign for long term, and inspires confidence in our call that btc ETFs will have triple gold’s aum in 3-5yrs. ” Notably, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF recorded $674 million in inflows on Friday and $970 million on April 28th, data from Farside Investors reveals, which further confirms that a new BTC bull market is underway. Bitcoin Price Prediction — Just How High Can The BTC Price Go? Bloomberg analysts are now anticipating a several-times increase in spot BTC ETFs AUM, which indicates that the Bitcoin price is highly undervalued, especially in the long term. There is a growing consensus that Bitcoin will hit $150k in 2025 itself, as claimed by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee. Even the Global M2 money supply, which has a strong correlation with the Bitcoin price and accurately predicted its April 7th bottom, is pointing to a rally to $140k in the near term. Meanwhile, prominent leaders like Binance’s ex-CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhou, BitMEX’s Arthur Hayes and Bitwise’s André Dragosch anticipate that the Bitcoin price will reach $1 million in the coming years. Despite Bitcoin’s high market cap, sidelined investors should allocate a significant portion of their portfolio to the largest cryptocurrency for the long term. BTC Bull Meme Coin Surges As Investors Search For Free Bitcoin Owing to Bitcoin’s long-term growth trajectory, there is a significant demand for free BTC. Considering that the new meme coin BTC Bull (BTCBULL) offers just that, it has caught the attention of whales and smart-money investors, raising over $5.3 million in its ICO. BTC Bull is the ideal meme coin for the likes of MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor and BlackRock’s Larry Fink — those that believe in Bitcoin’s long-term upside. It just offers several alternative revenue streams to benefit from BTC’s forward march. BTCBULL holders will earn free Bitcoin when the BTC price hits certain milestones. The first such airdrop will be triggered at $150k, which experts believe could happen within the second quarter itself. Already at $125k, holders will benefit from a significant token burn event, in which 5% of the token supply will be burnt. They will also receive a massive BTCBULL airdrop at $250k. In addition, early meme coin buyers are already receiving attractive passive income through the project’s staking protocol, which is currently offering an APY of over 70%. Owing to its unique value proposition and small market cap, prominent analysts are calling BTC Bull the next 100x meme coin.
