The $19 billion market crash may be a buying opportunity as dust settles in the coming weeks, Standard Chartered’s Geoff Kendrick told Cointelegraph in an exclusive interview. Bitcoin may still be on track to reach $200,000 by the end of the year, even after a record $19 billion market liquidation and renewed tariff threats from US President Donald Trump, according to Standard Chartered’s global head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick.
