Exciting predictions about Bitcoin have come from the former PayPal CEO!

Former PayPal President and Lightspark CEO David Marcus made striking statements about the future of Bitcoin and recent developments in the sector during his appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box program.

Speaking after the Bitcoin 2025 Conference, Marcus argued that digital assets have now become an important part of the mainstream financial system.

One of Marcus' most notable statements was, "Many major U.S. banks are about to join the Bitcoin network." Stating that organizations such as NewBank, one of the leading digital banks in Latin America, and Europe-based Revolut are currently integrated into the Bitcoin network with the Lightspark infrastructure, Marcus announced that major US-based banks will soon take similar steps. "We are now active in 70 countries, and users can convert any currency to another in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week," he said.

According to Marcus, Bitcoin is turning the long-discussed vision of "digital gold" into reality. "This is no longer just an idea; it is happening, and people are really starting to care about Bitcoin," he said.

Marcus, who predicts that developments like GameStop acquiring Bitcoin for its balance sheet will become widespread in the corporate world, said, "Now dozens of new companies are following in the footsteps of those that first adopted this strategy, like MicroStrategy." He stated that this diversity enables greater institutional adoption of Bitcoin and the creation of a structure that distributes risk.

In the program, Marcus was also asked about President Donald Trump and his family's interest in cryptocurrencies. Asking, "If the President's family can buy stocks and hold bonds, why can't they hold crypto assets?" Marcus conveyed that regulations in this area should be made within the framework of ethical principles. He stated, "Digital assets are now a mainstream investment class, and more people, even politicians' families, are starting to acquire these assets."
