Bitcoin

<p>The global cryptocurrency market is poised for unprecedented growth, potentially reaching $200 trillion within a decade, according to Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, a prominent Hong Kong-based Web3 game software company and venture capital firm.</p><h2 id="header-0">2–3x within 18 months</h2><p>Currently valued at approximately $2.7 trillion according to data from crypto aggregator CoinGecko, the cryptocurrency market is set to double or triple in the near term, Siu predicted on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v&#61;rse-ywZ3QHA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">The Valr Podcast</a> on May 28. “In the near term — within 12 to 18 months — we can conceive of a doubling or tripling of the space,” he stated, expressing strong confidence in the industry’s future milestones.</p><p>Siu elaborated on his bold forecast, suggesting that over a five to ten-year period, the market could accelerate by 100 to 200 times, potentially reaching a valuation of $200 trillion or even higher. In conversation with Farzam Ehsani, the co-founder of Valr, a platform that allows users to buy, sell, store and transfer crypto assets, Siu said:</p><p>“I think we could reach that kind of number within a decade.”</p><p>This explosive growth, according to Siu, will be driven by billions of people becoming digital property owners within the Web3 ecosystem. Siu stated:</p><p>“It is entirely conceivable that we’re going to have a billion property owners because we’re going to have a billion token holders. This is not possible in the physical world.”</p><h2 id="header-1">Asia fastest growing market</h2><p>Siu also pointed out the regional dynamics within the Web3 space, noting that Asia has emerged as the fastest-growing market. “Right now, the leading force in Web3 is clearly Asia,” he argued, citing robust adoption rates in regions such as Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Japan. In contrast, jurisdictions like the United States are lagging behind, primarily due to regulatory uncertainties.</p><p>Siu pointed out that historically, the United States has tended to take a leadership role where new technology is concerned. Web3 is turning out to be the exception to that rule. With that, he thinks that it is Asia that will lead the way and that it will continue to lead for the foreseeable future where Web3 is concerned.</p><h2 id="header-2">Bullish on Bitcoin</h2><p>His optimism about the Web3 market’s potential aligns with his bullish stance on Bitcoin, currently standing at a market capitalization of $1.3 trillion. Siu made another bold prediction recently, expressing confidence that Bitcoin would eventually reach $1 million. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $68,346. While that’s far from his $1 million unit price prediction, he did <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-reach-1-million-no-doubt-animoca-founder-websummit-rio" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">state</a> at Web Summit Rio in April that it would do so “over time.”</p><p>That bullishness from the Animoca founder has also manifested itself within the company itself. In early May, the company <a href="https://coinnesslive.page.link/XQetqNCXtCCM4GHfA" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">announced</a> its entry into the Bitcoin ecosystem by endorsing the Opal Foundation, a Bitcoin-centric protocol. At the time, Siu suggested that Bitcoin is now primed for Web3.</p><p>Siu’s projections reflect a broader optimism in the cryptocurrency industry, where rapid technological advancements and increasing adoption rates are expected to drive significant growth. As more individuals and institutions embrace digital assets, the potential for exponential market expansion becomes increasingly plausible.</p><p></p>
