According to the San Francisco-based crypto hedge fund Pantera Capital Management, the bitcoin price will rise substantially over the coming period. They believe that the cryptocurrency has reached a bottom at $6,500 in the current bear market and now say it is “highly likely” that the bitcoin price may be over $20,000 within a year.

“I rarely have such strong conviction on timing. A wall of institutional money will drive the markets much higher”, wrote Dan Morehead, chief executive and co-chief investment officer at Pantera, in his April newsletter, according to Wall Street Journal.
