At Binance Blockchain Week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a bold forecast for Bitcoin, predicting it could reach $180,000 by the end of 2026. Speaking alongside Solana Foundation President Lily Liu and Binance CEO Richard Teng, Garlinghouse expressed strong confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term growth.
While Teng did not provide a specific price target, he indicated that he expects Bitcoin’s value to rise, emphasizing a focus on long-term development over short-term market swings. Liu added that Bitcoin prices are likely to surpass $100,000 in the years ahead.
Bitcoin was trading around $93,000 at the time of the discussion, after having reached a record high of over $126,000 just two months earlier.
