$320 billion in new investment potential from elevated US money market funds could benefit cryptos like Bitcoin.
Historically strong Bitcoin performance after halvings (+192%) suggests further price surge in April 2024.
In a recent release by financial services powerhouse Matrixport, Senior Analyst Markus Thielen has ignited excitement by asserting that Bitcoin is poised for substantial growth in 2024, even in the absence of an approved spot ETF.
The report, a treasure trove of insights, delves into multiple catalysts driving this optimistic outlook. These include heightened liquidity, the impending Bitcoin halving event, and a potential second term for Donald Trump as U.S. president.
Exciting times ahead, right? Read on!
Shifting Perspectives
Initially predicting Bitcoin’s valuation to hover between $42,000 and $56,000 with U.S. SEC approval of a spot bitcoin ETF in October, Matrixport’s latest report, spearheaded by Thielen, now asserts that Bitcoin and the broader crypto market can flourish independently of ETF endorsement.
The report boldly declares, “Even if the SEC still disapproves of bitcoin spot ETFs in January 2024, we will likely see higher crypto prices in 2024.” The analysts wisely advise keeping a keen eye on the bitcoin dominance chart for potential altcoin rally signals.
What Does The Investment Climate Look Like?
Matrixport’s comprehensive report underscores the remarkable surge in U.S. money market funds, skyrocketing to $6.1 trillion since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. This surge translates to an extra $320 billion in annual interest payments, creating an inviting environment for investments in volatile assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Bitcoin’s Moment in 2024
As we look ahead to 2024, it emerges as a pivotal year for the crypto world, with Bitcoin poised for its upcoming halving event scheduled for April. Historical trends suggest a staggering +192% surge in prices during these periods.
Furthermore, Matrixport’s report sheds light on the potential impact of Donald Trump’s potential re-election, foreseeing positive repercussions on the U.S. economy that could extend to both U.S. stocks and crypto tokens.
Looking Behind
Matrixport’s earlier prophecy of Bitcoin surpassing the $42,000 mark has materialized, with the leading cryptocurrency currently exchanging hands at $42,634, as reported by Coinpedia.
The report also delves into ongoing discussions among Federal Reserve members, notably Fed Chair Jerome Powell, regarding possible rate cuts. In a July report, Matrixport researchers boldly predicted BTC reaching a staggering $125,000 per coin by the close of 2024.
