Bitfinex expects crypto market cap to double in 2024

Bitfinex analysts have published a new answer about the state of the cryptocurrency market.

The Bitfinex Alpha report contains a forecast for 2024. In it, experts remain optimistic about the prospects for Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets in general. They estimate that the market capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector could increase to $3.2 trillion next year.

“Looking ahead to 2024, and contingent upon market conditions, we anticipate that the number of global cryptocurrency owners could escalate to between 850 and 950 million (from 575 million currently).”

Regarding the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, experts predict “extreme greed” sentiment in 2024, which will correlate with new BTC highs in the middle of the bull market.

Additionally, as institutional investors increase their exposure to crypto assets, catalyzed by the long-awaited spot Bitcoin ETF, there could be some capital shift into higher-risk crypto assets next year.

“In the shorter-term, it is instructive to look at the market value of bitcoin about its realized value: the MVRV [(market-value-to-realized-value)] metric. “

In general, analysts believe that the cryptocurrency market is now in a “healthy” state. This means there will be ample room for Bitcoin prices to rise further, with limited expected selling by miners.

Previously, Matrixport analysts said that if spot Bitcoin ETFs are approved in early January, the price of the first cryptocurrency will rise to $50,000 by the end of the month.

Experts also recalled their forecast of reaching $45,000 by the end of the year. Historically, the price of Bitcoin often rose between Christmas and New Year – in 2020 it increased by 22% during these days.

Crypto market ‘dramatically underestimates’ bullishness of spot Bitcoin ETFs

“It’s reckless not to aggressively accumulate BTC at current levels,” K33 senior analyst Velte Lund said in a recent report. The potential of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval to drive prices up is dramatically underestimated by the crypto market , claim analysts from crypto research firm K33 — formerly Arcane Research.  In a Sept. 5 market report, K33 senior analyst Vetle Lunde and vice president Anders Helseth said the last three months had greatly improved the chances of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval despite the sentiment not being reflected in the price of Bitcoin or other mainstay crypto assets. The analysts explained while Bitcoin had all but given up its gains in the wake of Grayscale’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission — an approval would “attract enormous inflows” and significantly increase buying pressure for Bitcoin. Bitcoin returned its gains in the wake of Grayscale's victory. Source: K33 Research However, the downside of ...

Crypto Bias Blocks People from Seeing Coinbase as Goldman 2.0: Bitwise CEO

In a recent tweet, Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, shared his frustration with the poor attention given to the US-based crypto, Coinbase, claiming that people are “sleeping” on the crypto business. Horsley argued that while big banks like Goldman Sachs attempt to avoid a “slow death” by investing in technology, APIs, and retail services, Coinbase has already achieved what many banks strive to attain. He points out that the exchange has an exceptional institutional team with 25% of the most significant hedge funds as clients, over 50% institutional volume, and a suite of first-class tech products. The Bitwise CEO also claimed that Coinbase co-invented the USDC payment rail, facilitating $2 trillion in transfers in 2022 Q4 alone. Rant — People are sleeping on Coinbase. Big banks like GS are working to avoid slow death by getting into technology, APIs (Apple deal), more retail services (Marcus), while grappling with the heft of legacy biz, rate exposure, ...
