Strategic allocation away from U.S. assets by investors could see bitcoin hit a new all-time high in the second quarter of the year, Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick said in a report Monday.
Kendrick sees the world’s largest cryptocurrency as reaching $120,000 this quarter as he reiterated his previous target of $200,000 by the end of 2025.

Bitcoin was trading around $95,300 at publication time.
Kendrick noted that the U.S. Treasury term premium, which is closely correlated to the bitcoin price, is at a 12-year high. Accumulation by whales has also been strong. In addition, bitcoin time-of-day analysis suggests that American investors may be looking for non-U.S. assets, he said.
Lastly, exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows in the last week suggest “safe-haven reallocation from gold into BTC,” wrote Kendrick.
“Bitcoin may be a better hedge than gold against financial system risks,” he added.
