Analysis: If Citigroup predicts a surge in stablecoin supply, BTC could rise to $285,000 by 2030

Odaily News In its latest report, Citigroup predicts that the total supply of stablecoins will grow to $1.6 trillion by 2030 in the baseline scenario and $3.7 trillion in the optimistic scenario. Analysts believe that if Citigroup's forecast is realized and the regulatory momentum under Trump's policy continues, Bitcoin is expected to enter the price discovery stage, based on the historical ratio of stablecoin growth to BTC price appreciation - a 6.7-fold increase in stablecoins may translate into a 3- to 5-fold increase in Bitcoin, and Bitcoin prices may reach $285,000 in 2030, with a more optimistic upper limit of nearly $475,000 per coin. Even under conservative assumptions (i.e., only 25% of stablecoin growth is directed to Bitcoin), Bitcoin may still grow by 200% to 250% from current levels, and prices are predicted to rise to between $190,000 and $237,500 by 2030.
