Bitcoin’s ongoing rally could gather even more steam in the coming months, with top Russian crypto industry figures predicting a surge to $135,000–$150,000 before 2025.
In a new report from Russian state-run media TASS, Yan Pinchuk, deputy head of exchange operations at crypto exchange Whitebird, forecast that Bitcoin could climb into the $130,000–$150,000 range by year’s end.
Pinchuk did caution that a short-term dip might precede this upswing, citing the potential for a US stock market correction to temporarily pressure crypto markets due to their strong correlation with the tech sector.
Miners Predict BTC to Break Past Previous Highs
Industry leaders in Russia’s expanding crypto mining sector echoed the optimism. Anton Gontarev, Commercial Director at mining giant Intelion, sees a target of $120,000–$130,000 in the near term. He believes Bitcoin could hit an ambitious $168,000–$184,000 range by December if momentum holds strong.
Meanwhile, Vasily Girya, CEO of industrial miner GIS Mining, projected that Bitcoin could reach $135,000 by September 1, with only a mild pullback near $118,500 before resuming its climb.
All Eyes on US Policy as Crypto Rallies
Russian experts have highlighted that global economic conditions, particularly developments in the United States, remain crucial for Bitcoin’s next moves.
Pinchuk pointed out that a looming US tariffs deadline on August 1 may spark a stock market revaluation, which could briefly pull crypto down before another rally begins.
Alexander Kraiko, senior analyst at Cifra Markets, added that the “Big Beautiful Bill” in the US, which includes tax breaks and business incentives, is freeing up liquidity, some of which flows into Bitcoin and other crypto assets.
Girya concluded that US inflation data due on July 15 and expectations for a Federal Reserve rate cut will be major drivers for Bitcoin’s next leg higher.
This upbeat tone marks a shift in Russia’s approach, as Moscow appears more open to crypto as an international payment tool and an industrial growth sector, a notable change after years of caution.
