Tim Draper, a venture capitalist known for his early positive position on Bitcoin, has altered his price prediction for the top cryptocurrency. Draper, who previously projected that BTC was going to exceed $250,000 by 2022, now believes it will be achieved by 2025.
He identified the delay to government regulations that have slowed cryptocurrency growth in major markets such as the United States.
Draper first made headlines with his Bitcoin prediction when the currency was valued at $4,000. However, he now admits that unfavorable regulatory policies adopted by institutions such as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have significantly slowed growth.
The SEC’s legal proceedings against major cryptocurrency platforms such as Binance and Coinbase have caused uncertainty, limiting innovation and market growth.
Despite these challenges, Draper remains bullish about Bitcoin’s future. He believes that once the government embraces blockchain technology and implements clearer regulations, Bitcoin’s price might surge.
Draper further stated that engineers are still trying to improve blockchain infrastructure, which might potentially increase Bitcoin’s value in the future.
In addition to Draper, several prominent personalities in the financial sector have predicted the price of Bitcoin. Cathie Wood, CEO of Ark Invest, anticipates that BTC might hit $1.5 million by 2030, driven by increased institutional acceptance and recognition as a digital asset.

Additionally, former Goldman Sachs executive Raoul Pal predicted that BTC may reach $1 million by 2026. His projection is based on macroeconomic issues, such as inflation and the global shift toward digital assets as a hedge against traditional financial markets.
While the exact timing for Bitcoin’s rise is unknown, a number of high-profile investors remain optimistic.
