Why Industry Experts Think Bitcoin Is Headed For $80,000

With Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) trading close to $64,000 Tuesday afternoon and bullish sentiment growing in intensity by the hour, a panel of experts suggested that is headed for $80,000.

What Happened: According to a recent study, Bitcoin is going to see another bullish charge following today's listing of Bitcoin future-backed exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fifty industry experts contributed the study and expect Bitcoin to peak just above $80,000 this quarter and end the year at about $71,400. For Bitcoin to hit $80,000 it would need to see its price grow by about 27% from the price it is trading at as of Tuesday afternoon.
