Benzinga - Tom Lee, the Head of Research at FS Insight, predicted the potential growth trajectory of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) while speaking on CNBC Thursday, stating that the cryptocurrency's network value and inherent scarcity could push its price beyond the $200,000 mark.

Lee's comments come in the wake of predictions by other industry experts, including Ark Invest CEO Cathie Wood, who also foresees a significant price surge for Bitcoin in the coming years. She's among the numerous crypto thought-leaders bullish on the apex crypto, many of whom will be sharing their insights at Benzinga's Future of Digital Assets in NYC on Nov. 14, 2023.
