Bitcoin’s Growth Is Slowing — And That’s a Good Thing, Says Willy Woo
Bitcoin’s growth rate is declining, with analyst Willy Woo predicting a long-term CAGR stabilization around 8%, signaling maturation into a macro asset.
In a recent analysis, on-chain analyst Willy Woo highlighted a significant shift in Bitcoin’s growth trajectory. Once boasting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 100%, Bitcoin’s growth has decelerated to approximately 17% annually, with projections suggesting a stabilization around 8% in the long term .
Woo attributes this deceleration to Bitcoin’s transition from a high-volatility, retail-driven asset to a more stable, institutionally adopted macro asset. The pivotal moment came in 2020 when institutional investors began accumulating Bitcoin, marking a shift towards macroeconomic-driven adoption .
The anticipated 8% CAGR aligns with traditional capital markets, combining approximately 5% from long-term monetary expansion and 3% from GDP growth . This maturation suggests that Bitcoin is evolving into a globally recognized store of value, potentially reducing volatility and speculative behavior.
For investors, this trend indicates a move towards more predictable, sustainable growth, positioning Bitcoin as a viable component in diversified investment portfolios.
