Bitcoin Could Reach $740,000, Says Pantera CEO, Citing Untapped Blockchain Potential

According to Dan Morehead, CEO of Pantera Capital, the value of Bitcoin might soar to $740,000 per coin in the upcoming years. He points to the financial industry’s growing use of blockchain technology as the reason for this possible increase and emphasizes the enormous unrealized potential in the field.

Untapped Wealth and a Transformational Shift

Morehead believes the blockchain industry is still in its infancy, with 95% of global financial wealth yet to integrate the technology. In his note to investors, he stated, “95% of financial wealth has not addressed blockchain. They are just beginning this massive transformation now. When they do, Bitcoin might be at something like $740,000/BTC.”

If Bitcoin achieves this milestone, its market cap will reach $15 trillion, a fraction of the $500 trillion global financial assets. Morehead sees this as a logical progression, arguing that Bitcoin’s historical trajectory suggests another massive leap in value is possible.

Morehead predicts that Bitcoin could hit $740,000 as early as April 2028, though he acknowledges this timeline could stretch by a few years. He remains cautiously optimistic, emphasizing the cryptocurrency’s compelling risk-to-reward ratio.

“The expected value of the trade is the most compelling I have seen in almost forty years of doing this,” he explained.

Since its launch, the price of Bitcoin has increased by three orders of magnitude, demonstrating its already exponential growth. Morehead thinks that as blockchain use grows, similar growth is still possible.

After recently trying to break through the $100,000 resistance level, Bitcoin is currently trading around $93,192. Despite ongoing volatility, Bitcoin seems to have a bright future thanks to blockchain innovation and increased institutional interest.
