Bitcoin’s Next Milestone: Ripple CEO Projects $180K by 2026

At Binance Blockchain Week, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse made a bold prediction, saying Bitcoin could reach $180,000 by the end of 2026. He shared the panel stage with Solana Foundation President Lily Liu and Binance CEO Richard Teng, highlighting his confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term growth.

Teng avoided giving a specific price target but said he expects Bitcoin to rise, focusing on long-term trends rather than short-term market swings. Liu added that Bitcoin prices are likely to exceed $100,000 in the years ahead.

At the time of the discussion, Bitcoin was trading around $93,000, following a peak of over $126,000 just two months ago.
