Amid the slight recovery of the cryptocurrency market, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has just made a remarkable prediction that Bitcoin price could rise to $180,000 by the end of 2026. This comment was Chia by him at the Binance Blockchain Week event, which gathered many influential figures in the industry.
Garlinghouse said he is much more optimistic than a few years ago, especially as the legal environment in the US has become clearer since the Trump administration accelerated steps to complete the legal framework related to crypto. According to him, transparency about the rules of the game is a key factor in helping large financial institutions confidently participate in the market, thereby creating sustainable growth momentum for Bitcoin and the entire blockchain ecosystem.
Sharing a positive view, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu said that Bitcoin hitting $90,000 is “completely normal” in a new growth cycle. She emphasized that if the upward momentum continues, the price of over $100,000 will no longer be a science fiction scenario but could become a milestone in the next acceleration phase.
