Finder experts predict BTC price in 2022, 2025 and 2030
Finder, a major product comparison website, has released 2022 Bitcoin price predictions from Finder’s Board of 33 Fintech Experts.

Experts predict that bitcoin price will peak around $94,000 before the year ends above $76,000. Furthermore, the council expects the price of the cryptocurrency to reach $192,800 in 2025 and $406,400 in 2030.

“Bitcoin is expected to peak at $93,717 this year before falling to $76,360 by the end of 2022… That’s about 60% higher than bitcoin price in early 2022.”

The council forecasts Bitcoin price in 2025 and 2030. However, their latest prediction was lower than their October forecast.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin price is $37,510.

The council expects bitcoin price to hit $192,800 by the end of 2025, down 7% from its October forecast.

The board’s Bitcoin price prediction for the end of 2030 is currently 28% down from last October’s prediction at $406,400.

“The rate hike could be the reason the board is more cautious with its forecasts than it was in October.”

Investment bank JPMorgan expects four rate hikes this year.

While some panelists argued that “a rate hike would negatively affect the crypto market,” some believed it was time to buy BTC, including Finder founder Fred Schebesta.

ICP News

The Dfinity Foundation has announced the launch of Sonic, the first online DEX exchange on the Internet Computer (ICP) network.

On January 23rd, the first version of DEX Sonic went live, where users could exchange tokens and earn rewards for providing liquidity. Initially, there were only three pools supporting transactions: ICP/WICP (the token representing ICP), ICP/XTC, and WICP/XTC. Liquidity provider rewards are available in the WICP/XTC pool.

At the same time, Sonic’s main focus right now is its integration with Ethereum, which is expected in the third quarter of this year.
