VanEck CEO Jan Van Eck previously said in an interview that Bitcoin will hit a record high on Friday, and then the price of BTC broke through $77,000 for the first time.
When asked if he thought Bitcoin would reach $100,000, he said: "Bitcoin will hit a record high - if it hits a record high today, I think it will rise further. My basic assumption is that the overall value of Bitcoin will eventually be half the value of all outstanding gold, so its potential price is about $300,000. Individual investors are indeed pouring into Bitcoin ETFs."
