US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Could Push Price To $500,000: Expert
18.12.2024 16:00
In an exclusive interview with Yahoo Finance, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, shared his bullish outlook on Bitcoin, projecting significant price appreciation by the end of 2025. “We expect Bitcoin to be up above $200,000 by this time next year,” Hougan stated, attributing this forecast to three primary sources of demand: exchange-traded funds (ETFs), corporate investments, and governmental acquisitions. Hougan elaborated, “There are ETFs that are vacuuming up Bitcoin, public companies like MicroStrategy are accumulating Bitcoin, and now we’re seeing discussions about governments investing in Bitcoin. It ultimately boils down to supply and demand—there’s too much demand and not enough supply, which drives the price higher.” When probed about the sustainability of such demand, Hougan emphasized the gradual awakening of different investor segments to Bitcoin’s value proposition. “People just wake up to Bitcoin at different paces.

Bitcoin’s Record ATH Surge: Key Factors Behind the Rise and Future Predictions
Bitcoin’s Record ATH Surge: Key Factors Behind the Rise and Future Predictions
18.12.2024 13:29
According to reports, on December 17, Bitcoin (BTC) hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $107,756.83 before falling to $106,657.32 at the time of writing. It continues to rule the cryptocurrency field thanks to its strong bullish momentum, which has market watchers wondering if it could soon shatter this record and reach a new all-time high. Reasons Behind the Rise The price surge of Bitcoin has been largely driven by institutional investment, as evidenced by the large purchases of Bitcoin by companies such as MicroStrategy and Riot Platforms, which have increased market confidence. In addition, the inclusion of MicroStrategy in the Nasdaq 100 stock market Index has further fueled optimism. Take precautions against inflation and economic uncertainty. The state of the economy and politics has also had an impact on the rise of Bitcoin. Speculation over potential federal Bitcoin reserves and inflationary pressures have led to a rise in investments as a hedge against economic instability. [...]

Ethereum On-Chain Demand Should Sustain ETH Above $4,000, IntoTheBlock Says

The market intelligence platform IntoTheBlock has revealed how Ethereum has built up strong on-chain demand zones that should keep it afloat above $4,000. Ethereum Has Two Major Support Centers Just Below Current Price In a new post on X, IntoTheBlock has discussed about how the on-chain demand zones for Ethereum are looking right now. Below is the chart shared by the analytics firm that shows the amount of supply that the investors bought at the price ranges near the current spot ETH value. As is visible in the graph, the Ethereum price ranges up ahead have only small dots associated to them, meaning not much of the supply was last purchased at those levels. It’s different for the price ranges below, however, with the $3,772 to $3,892 and $3,892 to $4,011 ranges in particular hosting the cost basis of a significant amount of addresses. In total, the investors purchased 7.2 million ETH (worth almost $28.4 billion at the current exchange rate) at these levels. Related Reading: Solana [...]

Ripple’s Legal Battle with SEC: Impact on XRP and the Cryptocurrency Market

The cryptocurrency landscape stands at a historic crossroads as the battle between XRP and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) enters its most critical phase.

The potential impact of Donald Trump’s election adds another layer of complexity to an already intricate situation. The Evolution of SEC’s Cryptocurrency Stance Under SEC  Chair Gary Gensler’s leadership, the commission has maintained an aggressive enforcement approach toward digital assets.

MicroStrategy, the business intelligence firm co-founded by Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor, has significantly ramped up its Bitcoin acquisition strategy, surpassing 400,000 BTC in holdings.  However, concerns about the company’s financial stability tied to the Bitcoin price have emerged, particularly from Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant.
