CF Benchmarks Research Director Predicts Bitcoin to Rise to $102000 Gabe Selby, head of research at CF Benchmarks, stated that due to institutional buying and the positive macroeconomic outlook in 2026, the price of Bitcoin is expected to rise by 15% from the current around $90000 to $102000. The decrease in labor costs indicates a cooling of inflation, and the Federal Reserve may further cut interest rates in 2026, which is beneficial for risk assets. Currently, Bitcoin has fallen nearly 30% from its historical high of $126000 set in October 2025. DefiLlama data shows that investors withdrew over $400 million from Bitcoin spot ETFs on Thursday. Gabe Selby pointed out that 14 spot ETFs in the United States hold over $100 billion in assets, with BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust leading with $67 billion in managed assets. SEC documents show that Morgan Stanley is preparing to launch a new ETF that supports cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin.
