According to Benzinga, the surge came with a firestorm of predictions from industry experts.
根據本辛加的說法，這種激增伴隨着行業專家的大量預測。
Speaking with Benzinga, analysts attribute the recent surge to a confluence of factors, including increased demand from institutional investors and the introduction of several Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
分析師在接受 Benzinga 採訪時將最近的飆升歸因於多種因素，包括機構投資者需求的增加以及幾隻比特幣交易所交易基金的推出。
"Bitcoin has crossed the chasm between retail and professional investors," said Matthew Hougan, CIO of Bitwise Asset Management.

Bitwise資產管理首席信息官馬修·霍根表示：“比特幣已經跨越了散戶和專業投資者之間的鴻溝。”他繼續說：“再加上減半、潛在的降息和選舉，這是一個完美的設置，” 他暗示有可能達到更高的價位，例如10萬美元甚至20萬美元。
Gracy Chen, managing director of Bitget, emphasized the significance of Bitcoin ETFs.

陳說：“這些投資產品追蹤比特幣的價格並在受監管的交易所進行交易，使投資者更容易、更便宜地接觸比特幣。”陳進一步預測，在這次牛市中，比特幣的潛在高點爲12萬至14萬美元。
