U.Today - In a recent X debate, top analyst Willy Woo threw out a number that sounded almost too wild to be real: $425 trillion. That’s where he sees Bitcoin’s market potential landing — in just 20 years. And according to him, that’s not some moonshot fantasy. That’s just the math.
Fidelity claims Bitcoin’s value-storing ability gives it an edge over all other cryptocurrencies and pegs its “addressable market” at a solid $18.5 trillion. Big number.

But then came Adam Back, saying BTC could tap into a much bigger pie — $209 to $300 trillion — the total monetary premium sitting in assets like stocks, bonds and real estate. Basically, all the places people park money just to avoid inflation and risk.
Woo wasn’t having it, called that “pessimistic” and came back with his $425 trillion figure, plus or minus 50%, based on where things could head in two decades.
To be clear, he is not saying Bitcoin hits that number directly. He is pointing at the total potential market size if the cryptocurrency becomes the global benchmark for value storage — something like digital gold, but bigger, more liquid, and programmable.
This prediction landed differently for sure. Maybe because the macro landscape is already shifting. Maybe because institutions like Fidelity are starting to echo what the crypto crowd has been shouting for years. Or maybe because $425 trillion, even with a margin of error, just doesn’t sound that crazy anymore.
