Katherine Dowling, President of Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company, forecasts Bitcoin reaching $150,000 by 2026. She attributes this potential surge to regulatory advancements, such as the Clarity Act and the approval of Bitcoin ETFs. Despite Bitcoin's 25% decline since October, Dowling remains optimistic, citing institutional inflows and ongoing monetary expansion as positive indicators. Dowling also noted the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) recent decision to permit banks to trade cryptocurrencies. This move is seen as part of broader efforts to counter the financing of terrorism, further supporting the integration of digital assets into the financial system.
