Crypto prices have fallen from last week's highs, but they are gaining some momentum this morning. If you're looking for more crypto optimism this morning, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong believes bitcoin will reach $400,000 by 2030:

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong says Bitcoin could still reach $400,000 by 2030, standing by the forecast in a "Money Rehab with Nicole Lapin" interview. He described the figure as a possible outcome if Bitcoin's historical cycle repeats, while stressing that he cannot predict its future price.

The call would require a steep rise from Bitcoin's recent price in the mid-$80,000 range. It also comes after Armstrong publicly floated an even higher figure, like $1 million by 2030, in 2025.

His latest comments make clear that $400,000 is a scenario he considers plausible, rather than an official Coinbase forecast.
