Bitcoin at $2.9 Million? VanEck’s 2050 Vision Sparks Big Questions About the Future of Money
VanEck’s new long-term outlook projects that Bitcoin could reach $2.9 million by 2050, assuming it becomes a meaningful settlement currency for global trade and finds its way into central bank reserves. The prediction suggests a world where BTC helps settle international commerce much like major fiat currencies do today — a scenario that would fundamentally reshape how value moves across borders.
The report also sheds light on the broader transformation that could unfold: a financial system where decentralized assets sit alongside sovereign currencies, and where monetary debasement and rising global liquidity push institutions toward alternative stores of value.
Whether or not Bitcoin reaches VanEck’s target, the projection paints a striking picture of how dramatically the global financial landscape could shift over the next two decades.
