Bitcoin price forecast for the end of 2025 by Standard Chartered

According to Standard Chartered's current market report, Bitcoin is facing its history in the second half of 2025 in its history in the second half of 2025.
The bank assumes that a combination of accelerated ETF inflows, increasing assignments from corporate finances and an increasingly supportive political environment will drive Bitcoin to $ 135,000 and even to $ 200,000 by December 31.
Geoffrey Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered, confirmed his optimistic forecast this week. With a Bitcoin course of around $ 107,800 on Wednesday, the bank's annual destination means an almost twice price increase in the next six months.
Institutional demand will surpass the level of the second quarter
In the second quarter of 2025, Bitcoin-Spot ETFs and corporate buyers increased their stocks by around 245,000 BTC. Kendrick assumes that this sum will be exceeded both in the third and fourth quarter, as more and more institutions are pursuing long-term Bitcoin strategies.
He emphasized that companies outside of Strategy-Michael Saylors Bitcoin-centered company-acquired around 56,000 BTC in the last quarter, a significant number, considering that Strategy added 69,000 BTC in the same period, while it holds five times as much in its reserves.
Kendrick believes that this expansion of the company participation is a sign that the Bitcoin Reserve narrative spreads beyond the Early Adopters.
