Bitcoin Forecasts Suggest $1.8 Million by 2035 as Gold Outperforms and Investors Shift Strategies
Bitcoin is still expected to hit $1.8 million by 2035, despite recent price drops and reduced investor interest driven by global trade tensions. Joe Burnett, director of market research at Unchained, said Bitcoin remains in a long-term bullish cycle. He pointed to two models, the parallel model and Michael Saylor's Bitcoin 24 model, that project Bitcoin prices of $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, within the next decade. Burnett described both as solid base cases, noting that Bitcoin's actual price could exceed those figures depending on broader economic factors. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and CIO at Maelstrom, also gave a bullish forecast, suggesting that Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the end of 2025 if the U.S. Federal Reserve starts another quantitative easing cycle. However, short-term investor behavior tells a different story. Enmanuel Cardozo, market analyst at Brickken, said investors are being cautious and rebalancing their portfolios, with many avoiding major Bitcoin positions in the next few months. He said Bitcoin ETFs have seen money flowing out as investors move toward safer assets like strong currencies and gold. Since the start of 2025, gold has outperformed Bitcoin. TradingView data shows that gold prices have risen over 23%, while Bitcoin has dropped more than 10% in the same period. Tokenized gold has also gained traction. Trading volume crossed $1 billion this week, reaching its highest level in two years—the last time being during the U.S. banking crisis in 2023, according to Cointelegraph. Market sentiment has been affected by political developments. Since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January, financial markets have been under pressure. His push for new import tariffs aimed at reducing the trade deficit has created uncertainty, which in turn has limited risk appetite across both equities and cryptocurrencies. Burnett noted that this type of market environment slows down investment in assets like Bitcoin but doesn't change the long-term outlook. Despite short-term declines, Burnett remains confident in Bitcoin's future. He argued that Bitcoin could eventually match or exceed the $21 trillion market cap of gold, especially given its technological advantages. 'The gold market is an estimated $21 trillion market. If Bitcoin just hit $21 trillion and had Bitcoin-gold parity, Bitcoin would be $1 million per coin today,' he said. He also pointed out that Bitcoin's volatility is decreasing in both bull and bear markets. He said the major drawdowns, while still possible, serve as opportunities for long-term holders. 'The highs bring attention, and the deep, dark bear markets move coins into the hands of the strongest, most convicted holders, as fast as possible,' he said. Sign in to access your portfolio

ClearPoint Neuro Announces FDA Clearance for ClearPoint Navigation Software Version 3.0
SOLANA BEACH, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2025 / ClearPoint Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLPT) (the 'Company'), a global device, cell, and gene therapy-enabling company offering precise navigation to the brain and spine, today announced it has received 510(k) clearance for its ClearPoint Navigation Software Version 3.0. 'As we prepare for the wave of new patients that will be treated with cell and gene therapies in the years ahead, it is crucial that ClearPoint helps healthcare providers be ready by providing simplified workflows, offering solutions to increase surgical capacity and expanding access to our hardware and software,' commented Joe Burnett, President and CEO at ClearPoint Neuro. 'The newest ClearPoint 3.0 platform is designed to do exactly that by offering one of the fastest and most accurate navigation systems available while enabling the flexibility to be used in both the MRI suite and the operating room. Today, more than nighty-five percent of all stereotactic procedures in the United States take place in the operating room using Computed Tomography (CT) as the imaging modality. Using CT, the ClearPoint Software now supports the entire operating room procedure, eliminating the need for additional third-party navigation systems. Hospitals can use ClearPoint in either or both settings, benefiting from a consistent workflow that streamlines procedures and builds proficiency. We believe that this single, flexible solution will benefit our 50+ global biopharma partners with the potential to standardize cell and gene therapy delivery around the world, starting here in the United States.' ClearPoint Navigation Software Version 3.0 introduces an intraoperative CT workflow that builds on over a decade of experience in enabling MRI-guided stereotactic procedures. While previous versions of ClearPoint software supported MRI-guided workflows exclusively, the latest release extends ClearPoint navigation capabilities to the operating room. With compatibility for intraoperative CT and Conebeam CT imaging, this enhancement broadens access to precision-guided neurosurgery for facilities without intraoperative MRI capabilities. The ClearPoint Navigation Software Version 3.0 when used in conjunction with the SmartFrame® XG stereotactic frame, is intended to provide precise stereotactic guidance when placing instruments or devices during neurosurgical procedures. These procedures include biopsies, catheter and electrode insertion including deep brain stimulation (asleep or awake) lead placement. The Company plans to initiate a limited market release for ClearPoint Navigation Version 3.0 in Q1 2025, with a planned full market release in the second half of 2025.
