Citigroup Slashes 12-Month Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Targets, Citing Stalled US Crypto Legislation as Headwind to Upside Catalysts
Citigroup has lowered its 12-month price targets for Bitcoin and Ethereum, signaling a more cautious outlook on the crypto market's medium-term prospects, mainly due to slow progress in US crypto asset legislation. Bitcoin's target has been reduced from $143,000 to $112,000, while Ethereum has been lowered to $3,175. Despite remaining upside potential in the future, the lack of new policy catalysts may cause prices to trade within a range in the short term. Citigroup holds a more cautious assessment of Ethereum, believing it is more significantly affected by on-chain activity.
