What’s Driving Today’s Crypto Surge?

Thanksgiving FOMO On the Rise

Bitcoin’s climb above $91k coincided with a surge in “buy the dip” sentiment during Thanksgiving and Black Friday. Google searches for Bitcoin have reached their highest levels since May 2022, indicating a wave of FOMO (fear of missing out) among traders.

Already, the overall Open Interest (OI) in the crypto market has surged to a new all-time high of above $120 billion. With the notable spike in stablecoins supply on different blockchains, it is safe to deduce that the FOMO traders have significantly increased.

Morocco Lifts Crypto Ban After Years

After banning the crypto market trading in 2017, the government of Morocco has now legalized its adoption. Abdellatif Jouahri, the governor of Morocco’s central bank, Bank Al-Maghrib (BAM), said the bank is preparing a draft law aimed at regulating crypto assets, which is now in the adoption process.

Chinese Companies Reinvest in Bitcoin

In a significant development, Chinese companies are returning to the crypto space as government restrictions loosen. SOS, a publicly traded Chinese company, revealed plans to invest $50 million in Bitcoin after receiving approval from its Board of Directors.

This reflects a growing shift in China’s approach to cryptocurrencies, hinting at further adoption.
