Here’s Why Bitcoin Could Be Heading to $1,000,000, According to Kraken’s Dan Held

Dan Held, growth lead at crypto exchange Kraken, is outlining the catalysts that he believes could ignite a Bitcoin supercycle and catapult the leading cryptocurrency to $1 million.

In a new episode of the What Bitcoin Did podcast, Held explains why he believes the current bull market could grow exponentially larger than Bitcoin’s boom cycles in 2013 and 2017.

“When I look at these cycles though, what makes me very excited about this upcoming one, which could be… a supercycle, is that this time, is different. The 2013 bull run, the 2017 bull run, it was mainly based on retail-driven speculation. The macro markets, the rest of the world, was doing fine. It was a large bull run and these were mainly speculative cycles run by retail with a very shaky infrastructure…

With this bull run, we’ve got a lot of different things lined up.”

According to Held, Bitcoin’s primary use case as a store-of-value asset was put into the spotlight by the Covid-19 pandemic amid the rampant money printing of governments across the globe.

Covid was the catalyst moment that makes Bitcoin shine. With the Covid lens when we look at Bitcoin, for most people who had dismissed it previously, now it makes sense. And that’s where we see this echoed by the institutions. The managers of all the wealth in the world, the large portion of wealth in the world, they look at Bitcoin as a store of value, as a gold 2.0… And that is a huge value for the world. 

As the governments had their response to Covid-19 being money printing, that will devalue these currencies eventually and folks are looking at the 21 million fixed hard cap of Bitcoin. They are looking at this monetary policy, they are looking at Bitcoin’s construction, and how decentralized it is. Now you can store value in it and no one can take that value away from you, as this incredible lifeboat…

So Bitcoin’s demand, or people believing in Bitcoin, that market has grown tremendously to where now we have institutions.”

Held adds that the improvement in cryptocurrency infrastructure, which has made the flagship crypto asset more accessible to retail investors, is another factor that could continue fueling demand.

“We also have a much more vast retail customer segment. So retail buyers can now buy Bitcoin on PayPal, Robinhood, Cash App. They can buy it everywhere. And eventually, that’s going to reach brokerages like Fidelity, like within a retail brokerage Fidelity or E-Trade and Interactive Brokers. Eventually, you’re going to be able to buy Bitcoin everywhere, which means Bitcoin can now tap into all demand that wants it.”

For the current bull run to qualify as a supercycle, the Kraken Bitcoin needs to appreciate over 20x from its current value of $48,944.
