Citi predicts modest momentum for crypto in the new year, with bitcoin and ether projected to rise. Bitcoin could reach $133,000 by year-end, while ether may hit $4,500. Upside scenarios see bitcoin at $156,000 and ether at $6,100. Bitcoin is currently trading at $119,550, with ether at $4,407.

Looking ahead, Citi sets a 12-month target of $181,000 for bitcoin and $5,400 for ether, banking on sustained inflows, especially through ETFs. Bitcoin’s scale and narrative as “digital gold” give it an edge, while ether may benefit from staking and DeFi yields. Favorable regulations could support growth, but macro risks remain.
