VanEck prevê Bitcoin a R$ 160 mil até 2026 com base em ouro agora
Digital asset specialist Matthew Sigel from VanEck made a bold prediction about the price of Bitcoin (BTC) by the end of 2026. According to him, the price of BTC could reach $160,000 if it recovers its historical high relative to gold. Currently, the ratio between the price of Bitcoin and gold is 17.1x, while in the past it reached 35x. This means that Bitcoin is undervalued and could have a significant price increase if it returns to its historical level. Sigel’s prediction is based on the idea that Bitcoin is cheap compared to the US stock market and gold, and that it can easily exceed its target if it reaches the level of stocks.
Sigel’s analysis highlights that Bitcoin did not follow the US stock market and gold in 2026, which may be an indicative that it is undervalued. Furthermore, the ratio between the US stock market capitalization and the country’s GDP reached a historical record, which may be a sign that the stock market is high. However, the price of Bitcoin has faced resistance around $82,290 and failed to break this level in recent days. The short-term perspective for the price of Bitcoin strongly depends on capital inflows from institutional investors and the regulatory scenario in the US. The approval of the Clarity Act, a federal regulation proposal that aims to legalize crypto assets, may be an important factor for the institutional validation of Bitcoin.
In a technical context, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency based on blockchain that uses a decentralized system of transaction recording. The token XRP, for example, has been mentioned in internal presentations of the International Finance Bank as an important part of the financial infrastructure. Cryptocurrency exchanges, in turn, are platforms where investors can buy and sell different types of cryptocurrencies. Stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies tied to more stable assets, such as the US dollar, also have an important role in the crypto market.
The volatility of the crypto market is an important factor to be considered, as the prices of cryptocurrencies can vary rapidly and significantly. Furthermore, the regulatory scenario in the US and other countries can have a significant impact on the crypto market. The lack of regulatory clarity can be an obstacle to the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, while the approval of clear regulations can be an important factor for the validation and growth of the market.
