Charles Hoskinson, the founder of the Cardano project, shared his predictions regarding the future of Bitcoin, believing that its value could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025 or in 2026. In his interview on CNBC, he provided several reasons why this could happen.

Key Factors for Bitcoin’s Growth
According to Hoskinson, important factors that will contribute to the increase in Bitcoin’s value include the adoption of new legislation regulating cryptocurrencies, as well as the integration of stablecoins into the technology sector. He noted that with the passage of necessary regulations, companies in the “G7” will begin to use stablecoins more actively.
“What will happen: the tariff policy will fail, everyone will realize that the world is ready for negotiations, and that this is really a conflict between the U.S. and China. Some countries will side with the U.S., while others will side with China,” said the founder of Cardano.
Hoskinson also pointed out that markets need to stabilize, and the U.S. Federal Reserve will lower interest rates, leading to a large influx of cheap capital into cryptocurrencies.
Additional Reasons for Optimism
In addition to the aforementioned factors, the expert highlighted other reasons that may contribute to Bitcoin’s growth:
- Increase in the number of cryptocurrency users;
- Geopolitical conflicts that, in his opinion, negatively affect traditional business models;
- New laws regarding stablecoins and digital assets.
“The crypto market will receive a powerful boost precisely due to these factors – regulation and stablecoins in the technology sector. It will likely stagnate for the next 3-5 months, and then a significant wave of speculative interest will emerge – around August or September. And it will last for another 6-12 months,” concluded Hoskinson.
Recall that in February 2025, an expert from Swyftx pointed out that the increase in the global money supply M2 could also serve as a catalyst for the rise in Bitcoin’s value.
