Hoskinson, who has been in the crypto industry for more than a decade and helped co-found the Ethereum blockchain, said he believes bitcoin will reach $250,000 "by the end of this year or next year."
"What will happen is that the tariff stuff will be a dud, and that people will realize that the world is willing to negotiate, and it's really just U.S. versus China. And a lot of people will side with us. Some people side with China," Hoskinson told CNBC during a recording of the "Beyond The Valley" podcast on Tuesday.
"The markets will stabilize a little bit, and they'll get used to the new normal, and then the Fed[eral Reserve] will lower interest rates, and then you'll have a lot of fast, cheap money, and then it'll pour into crypto."
