The expert predicted a moderate rise in the bitcoin exchange rate

Forecasts of a sharp increase in bitcoin (BTC) to $200,000 by the end of the third quarter of 2025 look overly optimistic, such a jump is unlikely due to the lack of sufficient capital injections and global irritable factors, Fyodor Sidorov, a private investor and founder of the School of Practical Investment, told Izvestia on July 3.

"A more realistic range for the end of September is $80-100 thousand, but only under favorable macro conditions and maintaining investors' risk appetite," the expert noted.

He added that the support of the crypto market from Donald Trump really gives confidence, but more serious factors are needed for explosive growth, such as large-scale quantitative easing (QE) or the crisis of fiat currencies.

"The Fed does not intend to ease policy yet, which holds back risky assets. Bitcoin is likely to grow gradually, rather than speculatively," concluded Fedorov.

More than half of the projects on the market are scams, and even drug dealers issue their coins.

On May 22, Capital Lab partner Evgeny Shatov explained to Izvestia what influenced the growth of the BTC exchange rate. He clarified that the bitcoin exchange rate has set a record, exceeding $ 111 thousand. According to him, the growth of cryptocurrencies is due, among other things, to the fact that the promotion of legislation on stablecoins in the United States has given investors hope that regulation will be clarified under US President Donald Trump.
