Asset manager VanEck says growing worries over government debt and deficits are driving institutional demand for bitcoin, according to a CNBC report.
Asset management firm VanEck has forecast that bitcoin is set to reach a significant price level by next year, as fiscal concerns among governments continue to support demand for the cryptocurrency, CNBC reported.
According to the report, VanEck's Sigel said that conversations with institutional clients — ranging from financial advisors to sovereign wealth funds — indicate that these groups are broadly buying bitcoin.
The comments point to fiscal worries, such as concerns over government debt and deficits, as a key factor propping up demand for bitcoin among institutional investors, per the report.
CNBC did not specify further details on the exact price target VanEck expects bitcoin to reach or the timeline for institutional buying activity described by Sigel.
