Van Eck 在接受 CNBC 采访时表示,Bitcoin将继续创下历史新高,最终交易价格达到 30 万美元,达到黄金市值的一半。 VanEck 的首席执行官声称他的预测是一个“合理的基本假设”,但没有进一步支持他的理论。
根据CoinGecko的数据,Bitcoin突破77K,再创新高,然后回落至76K区间。 Van Eck 还表示,个人投资者目前正在大量买入BitcoinETF。摩根大通分析师最近的一份报告也支持了 Van Eck 的假设,声称BitcoinETF 的看涨趋势将持续到 2025 年。

While VanEck’s CEO did not have the maximalist view of a scenario where Bitcoin replaced gold entirely, he thought of Bitcoin as a store of value, just like gold. He added that there were others who forecasted that Bitcoin could eventually supplant gold as the best store of value. The Van Eck CEO, however, hoped that the recent surge in Bitcoin’s popularity would bring bipartisan support in the U.S. government under Trump’s administration. He claimed this would further cement Bitcoin as an asset class worth investing in for continued growth. Bitcoin has been up nearly 15% (+$10K) since Trump’s win on November 5th, according to CoinGecko’s data.
The CEO of VanEck’s comments proved his broader belief in the potential of blockchain technology. He pointed out that crypto-related stocks like Coinbase and meme coins such as Dogecoin were gaining momentum, although there was a preference for established digital assets like Bitcoin with strong use cases. The VanEck boss said that Bitcoin’s significant gains this year would partly be driven by the interest of individual investors.
“Bitcoin is sort of a digital gold for me, at its a store of value asset”

While individuals like MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor were bullish about Bitcoin and considered it a store of value, skeptics like economist Peter Schiff scoffed at the idea of Bitcoin becoming ‘digital gold.’
According to data from DeFiLlama and Farside, BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF IBIT, the largest by market cap, has been witnessing increased trading and inflow volumes since Trump’s reelection. Recent performance data from BlackRock also showed that IBIT was doing far better than its iShares Gold ETF.
The data showed that IBIT’s value had appreciated over the last few months, reaching a six-month high in October and continuing on a strong uptrend. DeFiLlama’s data showed that the upward trend significantly accelerated after Trump’s win. According to Farside data, Bitcoin ETFs led by IBIT recorded single-day inflow highs in the wake of his re-election.
BlackRock’s CEO, Larry Fink, also considered Bitcoin an alternative to gold because he believed it was an asset class by itself. He added that Bitcoin’s utility could be expanded if more acceptability, transparency, and related analytics were created.
