PANews reported on October 7th that Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, stated in an article on the X platform that Bitcoin's market capitalization should reach half that of gold after the next halving.

Based on current record gold prices, this translates to an equivalent price of $644,000 per BTC.PANews reported on October 7th that Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, stated in an article on the X platform that Bitcoin's market capitalization should reach half that of gold after the next halving.
