By cryptoadmin While institutional investors will play a significant role in Bitcoin’s all-time highs in 2025, the same may not be true for 2026.
At this point, FFTT founder Luke Gromen said that institutional investors may not be able to do much to boost the price of Bitcoin this year.
According to renowned macroeconomist Luke Gromen, who appeared on the YouTube program Coin Stories, institutional investors are unlikely to push Bitcoin to new highs this year unless a major event occurs that triggers an upward market move.
Gromen emphasized that institutional investors generally prefer a cautious approach, waiting for clear events and reasons before driving up prices.
“Without a strong underlying catalyst, it seems unlikely that institutions will be able to drive Bitcoin to a new high this year.”
If you’re relying on institutional investors to drive the price from $90,000 to $150,000, it’s highly unlikely without a significant catalyst. That’s not how institutional investors work. They sit back and say, ‘I’ll wait.’ And they probably will.”
Bitcoin’s price rising from its current level of approximately $89,900 to $150,000 represents a 67% increase and an 18.86% rise from its recent all-time high of $126,198.
Gromen recently warned that extreme scenarios, such as the escalating trade war between the US and the EU and a recession, could cause Bitcoin to fall to $60,000, triggering forced sell-offs.
As you may recall, Luke Gromen announced that he would sell all of his Bitcoin holdings by the end of 2025.
