Hunter’s prediction coincides with expectations that Bitcoin ETFs will become even more popular after the recent halving.

Notably, the prediction discloses growing interest in Bitcoin as an investment asset among traditional finance institutions as Hunter hopes for an incredible new constituent in the Bitcoin Space.
