As a globally renowned hedge fund manager, Philippe Laffont recently unveiled his list of the "Dream 40" companies with the most investment potential by 2030. What surprised the market was that, in addition to tech giants like Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, and Meta, the world's largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, was also prominently included.

Laffont is the founder of the hedge fund and technology investment firm Coatue Management, which manages assets of up to $55 billion. In a media interview, he stated that Bitcoin is very attractive as an emerging asset class. Currently, the market capitalization of Bitcoin is approximately $2 trillion, but Laffont predicts that this figure could rise to $4 to $5 trillion within the next five years. According to this prediction, the price of Bitcoin could reach around $200,000 to $250,000.

Laffont's analysis indicates that Bitcoin's current market value of 2 trillion dollars accounts for only about 0.5% of global net assets, and in the long run, this ratio is likely to double. He also emphasized that the global trend of de-dollarization and the decline of American exceptionalism will also become important factors driving up Bitcoin's price.

It is worth noting that Laffont's prediction has sparked widespread discussion in the financial community. Some analysts are cautious about this, believing that the high volatility of the encryption currency market makes long-term predictions challenging. However, some experts agree with Laffont's view, pointing out that with the increase of institutional investors and the gradual clarification of the regulatory environment, Bit coin is expected to gain broader recognition and adoption.

Regardless, Laffont's inclusion of Bitcoin in its "Dream 40" list undoubtedly injects new confidence into this digital asset. This also reflects that, even in the traditional financial sector, there is a positive outlook on the long-term development prospects of encryption currencies. However, investors need to carefully assess risks when considering entering this market and closely monitor changes in the global economy and regulatory environment.
