PANews reported on January 1 that according to CNBC, Carol Alexander, a professor of finance at the University of Sussex in the UK, believes that it is possible for the price of Bitcoin to reach $200,000 in 2025. Carol Alexander said, "I am more optimistic than ever that the price of Bitcoin will easily reach $200,000 in 2025, but volatility shows no signs of abating." Alexander believes that supportive regulation in the United States will promote the development of Bitcoin, however, the lack of regulation of cryptocurrency exchanges will continue to cause volatility, as high-leverage transactions cause prices to fluctuate up and down. It is reported that Carol Alexander has accurately predicted the price of Bitcoin many times. Last year, she predicted that Bitcoin would reach $100,000 in 2024, which is indeed the case.
