[VanEck Predicts Bitcoin Could Reach $53.4 Million by 2050] In its long-term capital market outlook, VanEck predicts that under a 'hyper-bitcoinization' scenario, Bitcoin's price could rise to approximately $53.4 million by 2050. This scenario assumes a compound annual growth rate of about 29% over the next 25 years, with Bitcoin becoming a significant global settlement and reserve asset. VanEck's analysis suggests that if Bitcoin accounts for approximately 20% of international trade settlements and 10% of domestic GDP settlements, its implied value could reach the aforementioned level, representing about 30% of global financial assets. In the baseline scenario, the compound annual growth rate is approximately 15%, with a price of around $2.9 million; in the bearish scenario, the compound annual growth rate is about 2%, with a price of around $130,000.

Currently, the SEC prohibits insider trading in securities markets to enhance public trust, but the CFTC has not fully banned insider trading in commodities and futures unless it involves fraud or manipulation. The development of prediction markets remains to be seen, and free markets with more truth may be a better option.
