Bybit’s Shunyet on Bitcoin’s ATH: ‘$125K Is Within Reach’ in Q2

Bybit, the world’s second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, today shared insights from its Head of Derivatives, Shunyet Jan, following Bitcoin’s surge to a new all-time high. Shunyet attributes the historic rally to a powerful alignment of market catalysts and macroeconomic shifts, and projects continued upside if current conditions hold.

“Bitcoin’s climb to this all-time high underscores a transformative moment in the evolution of global finance,” said Shunyet. “We’re seeing a unique convergence of factors—regulatory clarity, institutional inflows, and macroeconomic shifts—that are accelerating mainstream adoption.”

Shunyet identifies three core drivers behind Bitcoin’s rally:

Regulatory Clarity on Stablecoins:

“The emergence of comprehensive legislation—such as the GENIUS Act—is establishing clearer guardrails for stablecoins. This fosters greater institutional confidence and reinforces the foundational infrastructure needed for broader crypto adoption.”

Sustained Spot ETF Inflows:

“Robust and consistent capital inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs signal that institutional investors are embracing Bitcoin as a legitimate asset class. These vehicles offer regulated access points, unlocking new sources of liquidity and long-term demand.”

Weaker US Dollar and Inverse Correlation:

“Bitcoin’s global nature makes it particularly responsive to macro trends. With the US dollar weakening, Bitcoin has benefited as an alternative store of value, further cementing its role as digital gold.”

While Bitcoin leads the current rally, Shunyet notes a measured outlook for the broader crypto market: “Ethereum and other large-cap digital assets are likely to benefit from Bitcoin’s momentum,” Shunyet added. “However, high interest rates and lingering macroeconomic uncertainty may limit upside potential for smaller altcoins in the near term.”

Looking ahead, Shunyet offered a bold projection:

“If current trends continue, our analysis suggests Bitcoin could reach $125,000 by the end of Q2. We remain bullish on Bitcoin’s role in shaping the future of finance.”

Bybit continues to provide a trusted, high-performance platform for both retail and institutional participants, enabling access to cutting-edge trading tools and a deep, liquid market.
