Citigroup raises projections for bitcoin and ether amid resumption of flows in ETFs
Citigroup has revised upwards its price estimates for bitcoin and ether over the next 12 months, attributing the change to more robust activity in the cryptocurrency sector, a favourable macroeconomic environment and the return of contributions to exchange-traded funds.
According to the institution, the target price for bitcoin rose from US$ 82 thousand to US$ 113 thousand, while the projection for ether increased from US$ 2,240 to US$ 3,028. The note also projects about US$ 5 billion in net inflows into the investment vehicles over the next twelve months.
The analysts observe that both bitcoin and ether recorded significant gains over the last three months, of approximately 40% and 68%, respectively, which reinforces the broker's optimism regarding the current cycle.
Market context and perspectives
The update to recommendations occurs at a time of recovery in flows to bitcoin ETFs, after a period of relative stability. Citigroup highlights that macroeconomic factors, such as more accommodative monetary policy in some economies, contribute to the positive scenario.
Although the projections are based on observed trends, the cryptocurrency market remains volatile and subject to regulatory adjustments and global variations in liquidity.
