In an interview with Anthony Pompliano, Wall Street analyst Jordi Visser said that by the end of the year, American banks and traditional financial companies will continue to increase their investments in Bitcoin.
In his opinion, institutional players are already building a strategy for 2026, and Bitcoin occupies a central place in it.
The forecasts are supported by figures. According to surveys, 83% of large investors intend to expand their positions in cryptocurrencies Bircoin next year. Bitwise analytics also complements the picture: in a report for May, the company predicts an inflow of up to $120 billion into Bitcoin in 2025 and up to $300 billion by 2026.
The market confirms the trend
Capital inflow is already visible. Over the past week, spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US alone have shown a net inflow of about $2.33 billion. The total amount raised by funds since the launch in January has reached almost $57 billion, according to Farside. At the same time, public companies hold more than $117 billion worth of bitcoins on their balance sheets. At the time of publication, the price of the first cryptocurrency is about $115,000.
Experts note that the growing interest in bitcoin can also pull up related segments, including meme tokens. In particular, analysts see prospects for the PEPENODE project, which can benefit from the general expansion of the market.
Arthur Hayes’s Long-Term View
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes, in turn, reminded that bitcoin should be treated as a long-term asset. In an interview, he sharply spoke out against the idea of instant enrichment: according to him, expecting to buy a luxury car immediately after purchasing cryptocurrency is a mistake. Hayes is convinced that, taking into account inflation, bitcoin remains the most attractive investment tool and can reach $250 thousand by the end of 2025.
“If you measure inflation in bitcoins, it’s simply not visible on the chart,” he noted.
Thus, the vector becomes obvious: major financial market players are increasingly integrating bitcoin into their strategies, and analysts are increasingly advising investors to look at the asset not as a tool for speculation, but as a long-term protection of capital.
