Russian Analysts Predict BTC Prices Could Reach $150,000 by Late 2025

Experts in the Russian cryptocurrency sector have asserted that Bitcoin (BTC) prices could reach $150,000 before the conclusion of 2025, as optimistic sentiments take hold in Moscow and globally.

This weekend, the state-run media agency TASS conducted interviews with prominent figures in the nation’s crypto industry regarding Bitcoin price predictions.

Yan Pinchuk, the deputy director of exchange operations at the crypto platform Whitebird, indicated that Bitcoin might “attain values between $130,000 and $150,000 by year-end.”

Nonetheless, Pinchuk cautioned that a brief downturn could occur before the market rebounds strongly.

Miners expressed even greater optimism. This included Anton Gontarev, the Commercial Director at the Bitcoin mining leader Intelion. Gontarev stated that the immediate target for BTC was “approximately $120,000-$130,000.”

However, he noted that by year-end, “we can anticipate that Bitcoin, following a slight correction, could substantially surpass its previous all-time highs.”

He claimed Bitcoin could reach the target range of $168,000 to $184,000 by December this year.

‘All Eyes on the USA’

Pinchuk mentioned that a potential tariffs deadline set to take effect in the United States on August 1 “may align with the revaluation of overheated stock market assets.” The expert added:

“Considering the close correlation of Bitcoin with the tech sector, a stock market correction will likely lead to a temporary decline in the crypto market.”

Other experts agreed with Pinchuk, asserting that any further upward price movement would likely be followed by a period of stagnation.

All Russian experts concurred that BTC market fluctuations are now closely linked to economic activity and sentiment in the United States.

Alexander Kraiko, a senior analyst at the crypto brokerage Cifra Markets, stated: “The catalyst for the recent Bitcoin price increases was the Big Beautiful Bill. It encompasses tax incentives, business support, and enhanced deductions. This releases additional liquidity, some of which flows into cryptocurrencies.”

Other mining executives concurred, suggesting that further market movements could follow US economic developments. Vasily Girya, the owner and CEO of the industrial mining company GIS Mining, remarked:

“At present, all attention is focused on a few critical areas. The upcoming US inflation data release on July 15 is significant. It is essential to evaluate the real prospects for a swift rate cut from the Federal Reserve.”

Based on the current dynamics and technical conditions, Girya indicated that the next feasible target for Bitcoin would be $135,000. He concluded:

“If the current momentum persists, we could indeed reach $135k by September 1. A pause or minor correction around $118,500 is possible in the short term. However, this should not disrupt the overall trend.”

Until recently, optimistic Bitcoin price analysis articles featuring insights from leading Russian industry figures were limited to niche media outlets.

However, Moscow’s recent shift towards cryptocurrency seems to have altered this situation. The Kremlin now appears willing to utilize Bitcoin and altcoins as payment methods for international trade.

It is also eager for industrial miners to operate in regions of the country with surplus energy resources.
