No Dip Below $70,000: Why Bitget CEO Believes Bitcoin’s Next Stop is $200,000

Many analysts predicted an increase in Bitcoin in this cycle to levels higher than $200,000. However, the fall of cryptocurrency at the end of February — March 2025 forced market participants to revise their forecasts

BeInCrypto Russia team interviewed Gracy Chen, the CEO of Bitget. She revealed that Bitcoin (BTC) still has the strength to surge beyond the $200,000 milestone.

Chen drew attention to the fact that many were puzzled by the fall of Bitcoin against the background of the pro-crypt rhetoric of the current US President, Donald Trump. She noted that in America, they began to realize the idea of forming a strategic Bitcoin reserve.

“So far, the government is not purchasing BTC, but this may change soon. Such a step will give cryptocurrency institutional legitimacy and give long-term price support,” Chen told BeInCrypto.

Meanwhile, Chen drew attention to a bill progressing in Congress on stablecoins. In her opinion, the initiative signals a serious transition to a financial system based on blockchain.

“Some major players, including Elon Musk, are considering issuing their own stablecoins, and Trump’s team sees stablecoins as a way to strengthen the dollar’s status as the global reserve currency,” Chen further explained.

She also discussed the US economy’s situation. America’s Minister of Finance, Scott Bessent, hinted at a controlled economic downturn. If this is true, the expert is sure that Trump’s strategy is clear: blame Biden for the recession, use tariffs and crypto narratives to contain costs and seek to reduce interest rates to stimulate the growth of technology and AI.

“Short-term pain for long-term gain—that’s the plan,” Chen stated.

Since Bitcoin’s position largely depends on macroeconomics, investors have to monitor Trump’s actions.

“Regardless, I don’t see BTC below $70,000, rather $73-78,000, which is a good entry point for those who are hesitant. Within the next 1-2 years, BTC at $200,000 no longer seems impossible,” Chen concluded.
