The crypto market is entering a new phase according to Dan Tapiero, who sees potential for Bitcoin. The macro investor estimates that its value could reach $20 trillion by 2035, ten times its current level. This projection also concerns Ethereum, Solana, and companies related to digital assets. For Tapiero, several macroeconomic signals marked a possible bottom, while a new driver could come from artificial intelligence agents and their blockchain transactions in the long term.

Faced with such a tightening of expectations, BTC is trading around 76000 dollars, after having exceeded 79000 dollars. The verdict on Wednesday, September 16, should reshuffle the cards.

A way to facilitate the integration of cryptos into wealth management while leaving advisors responsible for the final choice for their clients.

After twelve months of caution, Bitcoin options traders change direction. Since August 20, they pay more to bet on a BTC rise than to protect against a drop, an unprecedented shift in a year. The signal comes while bitcoin trades around $78,278, far from its peak above $126,000 in October 2025. Between dominance of call options, increase in futures positions, and bets concentrated under $100,000, the derivatives market shows renewed but still measured optimism.

As I explained in my analysis last week, Bitcoin remains for now in a totally lateral market. The scenario I envisaged continues to unfold: the price oscillates between the 80,000-82,000 dollar zone and the 75,000-76,000 dollar zone, which currently acts as support. And personally, I decided to take advantage of this range rather than try to anticipate a breakout that still hasn't happened.

This operation comes as several bridges have undergone a massive creation of unbacked tokens.

Revolut no longer just integrates cryptocurrencies into its banking app. With the launch of EURR, the development of Revolut X, and its new regulatory approaches, the fintech is building a much broader crypto offering.

His analysis notably highlights the role of Bridge, a company owned by Stripe, in the issuance of the stablecoin. This strategy now extends to several markets and various uses.

American authorities had already documented the increasing use of third parties to bypass recruitment controls.

After a 24% gain in two weeks, BTC stopped its progression and currently stagnates around 77000 dollars. According to CryptoQuant, the momentum remains bullish; however, its confirmation depends on a precise threshold: 81700 dollars, the level of the 365-day moving average. However, before reaching it, the market must still absorb a significant concentration of supply. And beyond that, two new resistances already await bitcoin at 83600 and 88700 dollars.
