Bitcoin is poised for unprecedented growth in 2025, according to Bitwise executives, who view the current market conditions as a “generational opportunity.” Jeff Park, Bitwise Asset Management’s head of alpha strategies, shared a grim yet optimistic outlook on Feb. 16, highlighting the convergence of geopolitical and economic factors that could drive Bitcoin’s mainstream adoption.
World is literally on the brink of max chaos (tariff, debt ceiling, deglobalization) and max retardation (unprecedented tax cut, imminent YCC, gold run tail risk)—

Park noted the growing threat of global economic instability, especially as the Trump administration proposes an overhaul of global trade and raises concerns over deglobalization. On Feb. 12, a House Republican budget plan to increase the U.S. debt limit by $4 trillion fueled concerns about rising government spending. In addition, Trump’s escalating threats of reciprocal tariffs have intensified fears of economic turmoil. Park referred to these developments as leading to “max chaos,” which could prompt a significant shift toward decentralized assets like Bitcoin.
Furthermore, the potential for central banks to flood the market with cash could spark a “gold run tail risk,” Park argued. This, combined with unprecedented tax cuts and the possibility of Yield Curve Control (YCC), sets the stage for a volatile economic environment. According to Park, this turbulence will only increase Bitcoin’s appeal as a safe haven.
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley also voiced optimism about Bitcoin’s future. He pointed to the cryptocurrency’s current implied volatility percentile of 12.3% — the lowest of the year — suggesting that Bitcoin is undervalued despite its potential for massive leaps into the mainstream.
As of February 17, Bitcoin’s price sits just above $96,000, down 1.5% over the past 24 hours, though it remains within a trading range of $90,000 to $100,000. Despite this dip, Bitcoin reached a high of $108,786 in late January, aligning with Trump’s inauguration.
With market sentiment neutral, according to the Crypto Fear & Greed Index, investors are keeping a close eye on Bitcoin’s next move as economic volatility continues to fuel its rise. For many, Bitcoin represents the next major financial shift.
