Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse created a bold bitcoin price prediction during a panel discussion alongside Solana Foundation President Lily Liu and Binance CEO Richard Teng during Binance Blockchain Week.
He said he expects BTC to reach $180,000 by the end of 2026, indicating strong optimism about the cryptocurrency’s long-term price outlook.
Teng did not give any price targets, but said he expects prices to be higher than they are while emphasizing that he is focused on long-term growth and not short-term volatility.
At the same time, Liu said prices would likely be above $100,000.
Bitcoin changed hands at around $93,000 at press time, after hitting a record high of over $126,000 two months ago.
