Historically, BTC has seen notable corrections roughly 18 months after each halving. However, with the most recent halving in April 2024, this pattern appears to be shifting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"875\" data-end=\"1131\">The key reason? Unlike previous cycles, the current market is witnessing <strong data-start=\"948\" data-end=\"970\">strong ETF inflows<\/strong> and increased <strong data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1020\">corporate treasury accumulation<\/strong>. These new demand drivers are believed to be powerful enough to support Bitcoin\u2019s continued upward trajectory.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1174\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Standard_Chartered_Eyes_500K_by_2028\"><\/span>Standard Chartered Eyes $500K by 2028<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1176\" data-end=\"1430\">Looking further ahead, Standard Chartered maintains a long-term bullish stance. The bank forecasts Bitcoin could reach as high as <strong data-start=\"1306\" data-end=\"1318\">$500,000<\/strong> per coin by <strong data-start=\"1331\" data-end=\"1339\">2028<\/strong>, supported by increasing institutional adoption and tightening <strong data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1429\">supply-demand dynamics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1432\" data-end=\"1472\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Correction_Risks_Remain_on_the_Table\"><\/span>Correction Risks Remain on the Table<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1474\" data-end=\"1725\">While the outlook remains positive, Kendrick also cautions about potential price <strong data-start=\"1555\" data-end=\"1570\">corrections<\/strong> toward the end of Q3 and beginning of Q4. The psychological impact of past halving cycles may still influence short-term volatility in the crypto markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1942\">In summary, Standard Chartered\u2019s projection underlines a significant shift in the <strong data-start=\"1809\" data-end=\"1820\">Bitcoin<\/strong> investment landscape, with institutional demand playing a growing role in price formation and long-term market structure.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p data-start=\"1727\" data-end=\"1942\"><em>You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
