Hey friends, Crypto Willy here with your week-in-review for The Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency Investment Show, straight from the pulse of the blockchain world as of April 29, 2025. Let’s dive right in—because the crypto space never sleeps, and neither do we!

This week, Bitcoin once again stole the spotlight. Peter Chung, head of research at Presto, is making headlines with his bold prediction: Bitcoin could hit $210,000 by year’s end. In his interview with CNBC, Chung pointed to surging institutional adoption and global liquidity as the prime drivers. Even though markets have been choppy thanks to some macroeconomic bumps, he views the recent pullbacks as a “healthy” reset. In his own words, these corrections are paving the way for Bitcoin to cement its place as a mainstream financial asset. He also highlights Bitcoin’s dual personality—acting as both a risk-on growth asset and a safe-haven, much like digital gold, especially in times of global uncertainty like the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank collapse. Chung even thinks Bitcoin could soon outpace traditional safe-haven assets by the end of the year, which is music to many hodlers’ ears.

Looking at the numbers, Bitcoin’s market cap is flexing at a massive $1.87 trillion, trading just shy of $95,000 per coin. That’s impressive growth, but as PlanB pointed out in his recent YouTube analysis, the potential is far from tapped. He compared Bitcoin’s scarcity to that of gold and real estate, noting that Bitcoin’s current stock-to-flow ratio stands at 120—double gold’s. Yet, its total value lags way behind gold and real estate, meaning there’s still room for those legendary gains if mainstream adoption keeps ramping up.

Ethereum, our reliable number two, sits at a $217 billion cap, trading above $1,800, with network upgrades promising more scalability and utility. Presto’s valuation model also remains bullish on Ether, driven by Ethereum’s ongoing improvements.

The wider crypto market is buzzing, too. Solana, BNB, and XRP continue to hang onto the top spots by market cap, while meme favorites like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu refuse to exit the conversation. Cardano and Avalanche are trying to cement their use cases, with Cardano still facing adoption hurdles but promising tech beneath the hood.

Regulators haven’t taken a back seat, either. The SEC made news this week by hosting a roundtable on crypto custody—crucial as institutions demand secure ways to hold large Bitcoin reserves. Meanwhile, enforcement actions against alleged crypto fraud keep rolling, so, as always, remember to DYOR—do your own research—before aping in.

To sum up, the past week was all about big numbers, even bigger predictions, and a palpable sense that the crypto market is building up for its next move. With institutional money focusing on Bitcoin’s long-term promise, Ethereum’s steady growth, and regulatory progress, the stage is set for another rollercoaster summer.

That wraps it up for this week, friends! Stay sharp, stay curious, and keep your wallets secure. This is Crypto Willy, signing off—until next time, wishing you green candles and bold profits!
