According to Alice Li, investment partner and head of the U.S. for cryptocurrency venture capital firm Foresight Ventures, increased regulatory clarity in the U.S. could drive Bitcoin to surpass $150,000 during the current market cycle.
In the June 3, 2025 episode of Cointelegraph's Chain Reaction X Spaces, Alice stated that the rise of the crypto market in 2025 is primarily driven by changes in U.S. policy.
"One of the most powerful driving factors is undoubtedly policy changes," she mentioned, noting that U.S. President Donald Trump's approval of Bitcoin reserves and the development of stablecoin policies are major catalysts for the rise in Bitcoin (BTC) prices in 2025.
"Stablecoins will be one of the strongest areas for my long-term investments," she added, referring to advancements in U.S. regulation.
Alice's comments come as the industry awaits a comprehensive Senate vote on the "Guidance and Establishment of a National Stablecoin Innovation Act" (GENIUS Act), which aims to set clear rules for stablecoin collateral and requires compliance with anti-money laundering laws.
The passage of this legislation could encourage other major jurisdictions to follow suit. Alice stated that the GENIUS Act is a "good start," adding:
"It sets a great innovation frontier for the rest of the world, and I believe other countries, especially in Asia, Singapore, and Hong Kong, will quickly follow suit."
Alice also mentioned that the Hong Kong region has proposed a bill similar to the GENIUS Act, referring to the "Stablecoin Bill" passed by the Hong Kong Legislative Council on May 21, which allows major financial institutions to apply to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to become licensed stablecoin issuers, with the bill expected to pass by the end of 2025.
Alice stated that further developments in cryptocurrency regulation could lay the groundwork for Bitcoin's cycle peak to exceed $150,000. "I am very confident in Bitcoin and the crypto market. So I believe Bitcoin can reach at least $150,000 in this cycle."
She also added that the Federal Reserve's first interest rate cut this year could significantly enhance Bitcoin's price momentum.
According to the latest estimates from CME Group's FedWatch tool, the market currently expects a 95% chance that the Federal Reserve will maintain interest rates at its next Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on June 18.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency venture capital deals hit their lowest monthly count in May, with only 62 rounds of investment, raising a total of $909 million for the industry. Some analysts point out that the pre-summer slump is influenced by macro-specific and "seasonal" liquidity patterns.
