Standard Chartered has made a bold prediction that Bitcoin could surge to $100,000 within the next year, driven by the potential launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) sooner than expected. 
In a research note released on November 28, the banking giant reaffirmed its optimistic price targets for Bitcoin. 
The report suggests that Bitcoin may reach a six-figure price tag by the end of 2024, a significant jump from its current trading value of $37,700. 
This bullish outlook is primarily based on the possible approval of Bitcoin spot price ETFs in the United States. 
Geoff Kenrick, Head of EM FX Research, West, and Crypto Research at Standard Chartered, stated, “We now expect more price upside to materialize before the halving than we previously did, specifically via the earlier-than-expected introduction of US spot ETFs.” 
This development raises the prospect of Bitcoin reaching the $100,000 mark before the end of 2024. 
Standard Chartered’s positive stance on Bitcoin’s future performance builds upon its earlier optimistic outlook.

In July, the bank pointed to the decreasing availability of Bitcoin supply as a factor that could drive prices significantly higher. At that time, Kenrick predicted that Bitcoin could hit $50,000 by the end of 2023. 
Additionally, he noted that miners might start hoarding more of their Bitcoin stocks due to an increasing hash rate and the upcoming block subsidy halving, which will reduce the amount of Bitcoin earned per block by 50%. 
This increased profitability for miners would lead to reduced net Bitcoin supply, pushing prices even higher. 
The spotlight is currently on the ETF narrative, with derivatives premiums rising and growing anticipation of a potential ETF approval in January.

Bitcoin’s price trajectory has been highly responsive to news related to ETFs, with rapid gains in November as investors anticipated regulatory approval before the January window. 
However, there are concerns about large-volume investors selling off their holdings once the green light is given, potentially leading to a “buy the rumor, sell the news” scenario. 
This situation could result in losses for latecomers to the market. Nonetheless, Standard Chartered remains confident in Bitcoin’s ability to reach new price milestones, especially if ETFs become a reality sooner than expected.
