2024 is a good year for many crypto assets after a period of stagnation and a massive crypto crash. Cryptocurrency analyst Altcoin Daily in his video update has highlighted why crypto is up today.
The first reason behind the pump is none other than MicroStrategy who recently bought $37 million worth of Bitcoin, bringing its total shares to 10,000 Bitcoin worth $8.1 billion. This is a big reason why the price of Bitcoin keeps going up. CEO Michael Saylor’s unwavering faith in Bitcoin and MicroStrategy’s big accumulation show that more and more people trust digital assets to store value.
Saylor’s motive for acquiring more Bitcoin extends beyond corporate interests; he holds over 1% of all Bitcoin in existence. According to him, Bitcoin is a unique asset class with special qualities that can keep its value and survive geopolitical pressures. Like Gold you can’t move Bitcoin, it’s a decentralized asset that comes with an ownership tag, making it more secure than other assets. This makes it a good choice for investors.
Next Crypto on the list is, Ethereum’s, the 2nd largest coin. Recently it showed some positive price movement, driven by developments such as Ark Invest and 21 Shares amending their spot Ethereum ETF applications to allow for cash creations, signaling a potential surge in the cryptocurrency’s value. This mirrors the pattern observed with Bitcoin ETF applicants before regulatory approval, hinting at Ethereum’s growing institutional appeal.
While challenges such as network outages, as seen with Solana, persist, investor confidence remains strong, with CoinShares reporting significant inflows into Solana investment products. Additionally, the total value locked in Solana continues to show an upward trend, reaching $1.65 billion. The anticipated Solana ETFs, like Ethereum ETFs, are also expected to make Solana even more attractive to investors.
Looking ahead, the cryptocurrency market is about to go through big changes. The Bitcoin halving event is coming up in about 70 days, and regulations for Ethereum are getting clearer. Ethereum’s potential as a top blockchain platform is increased by projects like Promethium, a US-registered securities crypto platform that chose Ethereum as its first product for trade and custody that is in line with SEC rules.
Moving down the list, developments in decentralized finance (DeFi), evidenced by projects like Helix bringing the Japanese Yen onto the blockchain through Injective Protocol’s decentralized exchange, showcasing the increase in adoption and utility of cryptocurrencies worldwide.
Overall, the convergence of institutional investment, regulatory developments, and technological advancements sets the stage for continued growth and innovation within the cryptocurrency ecosystem in 2024. Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving landscape.
