Analysis: If Citigroup's Prediction Comes True, BTC Could Rise to $285,000 by 2030

Jinse reports that Citibank's latest report predicts that the total supply of stablecoins will grow to $1.6 trillion by 2030 in the baseline scenario, and reach $3.7 trillion in an optimistic scenario. The analysis suggests that if Citigroup's predictions come true, and the regulatory momentum under Trump policies continues, Bitcoin is expected to enter a price discovery phase. Based on the historical ratio of stablecoin growth to BTC price appreciation—a 6.7-fold increase in stablecoins could translate into 3 to 5 times growth for Bitcoin. Bitcoin's price could reach $285,000 by 2030, with the more optimistic cap approaching $475,000 per coin. Even under conservative assumptions (i.e., only 25% of stablecoin growth shifts to Bitcoin), Bitcoin could still grow 200% to 250% from current levels, with a predicted price rise to between $190,000 and $237,500 by 2030.
