Famous crypto entrepreneur and influencer EljaBoom made an uncomfortable but realistic prediction at the recently concluded Global Blockchain Show in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Okse co-founder stated that the entry of institutional investors like BlackRock into the industry has changed it forever.
EljaBoom commented that while he agrees with former Binance CEO Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao’s recent remark that the Bitcoin four-year cycle is essentially dead, he also feels that there is still a lot of upside left for the digital assets market to be realized before a period of depression.
He said that US President Donald Trump is likely to replace Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell with a pro-crypto Chair, a move that will be perceived as overwhelmingly bullish by not just the crypto market but also others such as equity, real estate, precious metals, and others.
EljaBoom also offered some insights about the kind of indicators and developments he likes to track to capitalize on an upcoming market narrative. For 2025, he said, regulations remain the key.
In addition, the crypto influencer predicted that real-world assets (RWAs) might surprise the market in 2026. He specifically highlighted the DESK token as one digital asset to keep an eye on going into the new year.
When the conversation steered toward giving predictions for 2030, EljaBoom forecasted that Bitcoin will likely be worth $1 million by then. He referred to institutional investors, saying that they not only have a higher appetite for risk but also operate in long timeframes, able to ride out the market volatility.
Finally, EljaBoom said that retail investors’ biggest challenge when it comes to having an ‘exit plan’ after gaining profits on a coin or token is emotions. He advised investors to not get swayed by emotions and try to be content with the gains. “Profit is profit,” he concluded.
