#数字资产市场动态 Assistant Dean of the Institute of Financial Studies at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Tang Bo, recently shared a set of interesting forecast data.

He believes that by 2030, the price of Bitcoin could potentially surge past the psychological barrier of $1 million. The logic behind this is not just speculation, but the migration of the entire financial infrastructure.

What’s even more noteworthy is the expansion of the stablecoin market. From last year’s $280 billion scale, it could expand to a range of $1.5 trillion to $3 trillion in the future — what does this mean? Think about the daily transaction volume of Alipay and WeChat Pay, and you’ll understand.

Another key indicator is the proportion of on-chain financial services. It’s currently still in the single digits, but is expected to soar to 20%-30%. In other words, within the next five years, one in four financial transactions might occur on the blockchain.

This is not just about price fluctuations, but a fundamental re-architecture of the financial system. The real opportunity does not belong entirely to a single cryptocurrency, nor is it just a short-term bull market wave, but rather the infrastructure that is taking shape itself.

One million USD worth of Bitcoin sounds pretty exaggerated, but the data on stablecoins is indeed impressive. From 280 billion to 3 trillion? That's a real infrastructure upgrade. The era of each crypto project operating independently should be over.

technically speaking, the stablecoin projection needs some serious scrutiny here. 1.5-3 trillion is... optimistic. what's the actual settlement velocity assumption? because if you're extrapolating alipay/wechat volume into a blockchain context, you're not accounting for the latency vectors and throughput bottlenecks that still plague most chains. interesting edge case though.

Infrastructure migration is the true long-term logic; the coin price is just a surface-level phenomenon.

1 million dollars? Tang Bo, this guy has a good imagination, but infrastructure migration is the real issue; the coin price is just a surface phenomenon.
