Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest released an updated Bitcoin price target earlier this week, projecting the cryptocurrency could reach as high as $2.4 million per coin by 2030.
The updated forecast builds on Ark’s previous predictions from its annual Big Ideas report, which used total addressable markets and penetration rate assumptions.
The latest report adds a new experimental model that factors in Bitcoin’s “active” supply by excluding coins that are lost or held long term.
A rally of that magnitude wouldn’t just benefit Bitcoin holders—it would likely re-ignite speculative momentum across the entire crypto market.
With sentiment on the rise, emerging projects like CartelFi are seeing renewed traction.
The platform, which merges meme coin virality with DeFi yield mechanics, stands to benefit from increased risk appetite and liquidity flowing back into alternative assets.
“Bitcoin’s network liveliness has remained near ~60% since early 2018. In our view, that magnitude of liveliness suggests that ~40% of supply is ‘vaulted,’” the report said.
Based on this adjustment, Ark estimates price targets roughly 40% higher than earlier projections.
With active supply factored in, Ark’s bear case sees Bitcoin reaching around $500,000, while the bull case points to $2.4 million per coin.
The report attributes Bitcoin’s potential growth to its role as “digital gold,” increasing institutional investment through spot ETFs, emerging market demand for safe-haven assets, and corporate treasury diversification.
However, the company added:
Importantly, the estimates constructed with this more experimental methodology are more aggressive than those in our bear, base, and bull cases. With a more conservative bias, our official price targets focus only on total bitcoin supply. That said, we also believe that this more experimental exercise highlights that bitcoin’s scarcity and lost supply are not reflected in most valuation models today.”
Other Bitcoin advocates have also forecast large gains.
In September, Strategy Chairman and co-founder Michael Saylor predicted Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin over the next two decades.
The CartelFi presale has already raised over $1 million from early participants, reflecting steady initial traction for the project.
Structured across 30 stages with a 5% token price increase at each phase, the presale incentivizes early involvement while creating momentum through built-in pricing pressure.
At its current level of $0.037, the token is positioning early backers for notable gains ahead of CartelFi’s public market debut.
The project’s pitch — converting idle meme coin holdings into productive, yield-bearing assets — marks a differentiated entry in the crowded DeFi space.
CartelFi is positioning itself as a transformative force at the intersection of meme culture and decentralized finance (DeFi), targeting a long-standing inefficiency in the cryptocurrency market: the tension between the speculative upside of meme coins and the stable yields of DeFi protocols.
Through specialized liquidity pools designed specifically for meme tokens, CartelFi is converting typically idle speculative assets into productive, yield-generating capital.
CartelFi’s “Yield Dorado” protocol comprises several integrated components aimed at maximizing yield generation while simultaneously applying deflationary pressure on the CARTFI token.
By seeking to unlock billions of dollars in dormant meme token value, CartelFi aims to reshape the narrative around meme coins, moving them beyond pure speculation into a new class of productive digital assets.
