#加密市场 Review and Outlook of This Week
As Christmas approaches, the crypto market has experienced some fluctuations this week, especially after the European and American exchanges closed on Wednesday, capital outflows were more common. At the same time, Ethereum faces greater pressure of capital outflows, and market sentiment tends to be risk-averse.
This week's major events:
- Monday: MicroStrategy (#MicroStrategy ) may be included in the Nasdaq 100 Index
- Tuesday: The Central Banks of Canada and Australia release December monetary policy minutes
- Thursday: The United States announces the number of initial jobless claims for the week
- Friday: #日本央行 announces a summary of the opinions of the meeting review committee
Market Outlook:
$BTC fell below the $100,000 mark, and $ETH fell below $3,300, because the bull market has not yet adjusted significantly and funds are tight during Christmas. In addition, Trump's policy changes may bring about a deleveraging trend and increase risk aversion.
On #期权市场 , about $12 billion of options expired this week, and large investors and market makers are adjusting their positions. It is expected that the volatility during the Christmas period will be smaller, and the market focus will be on the market trend after Trump takes office at the end of January. The crypto interest rate market remained relatively stable on #Bitfinex .

Bitcoin may hit $200K by mid-2025 as price drops ‘will remain mild,’ says Bitfinex
Bitcoin may hit $200K by mid-2025 as price drops ‘will remain mild,’ says Bitfinex
Bitfinex analysts believe the increasing Bitcoin institutional adoption will create strong demand-side pressure, making Bitcoin price dips in 2025 short and temporary.
Bitcoin price dips will be short-lived in 2025 due to strong institutional demand, say Bitfinex analysts, who predicted a best-case scenario of Bitcoin doubling in price by June 2025.
Bitfinex analysts said in a Dec. 17 market report that their minimum price estimates “stand at $145,000 by mid-2025, potentially stretching to $200,000 under favorable conditions.”
Bitcoin volatility expected in first quarter
“Our view is that any corrections in 2025 will remain mild, thanks to institutional inflows,” the analysts said.
They noted that while Bitcoin BTC $104,361 volatility is expected in Q1 2025, the “broader trend” suggests continued price growth, driven by ongoing inflows into spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and increased global and institutional adoption.
Around $36 billion has flowed into United States-based spot Bitcoin ETFs since they launched in January Farside Investors data shows.
“The BTC ETFs are one of the largest cohorts of Bitcoin holders at over 1.13 million BTC,” the analysts said.
At the time of publication, Bitcoin was trading at $105,360, a price that Castle Island Ventures’ partner Nic Carter believes could grow nearly nine-fold in the “long term.”
“Long-term, I’m looking for Bitcoin to match the market cap of gold, which would price Bitcoin at $900,000,” Carter told Bloomberg Television on Dec. 17.
Bitcoin author Andy Edstrom said on Dec. 16 that he is already “struggling to get used to the fact that $1,000 is less than a 1% move in Bitcoin’s price.”
Bitfinex analysts believe that if Bitcoin mirrors the 2021 cycle, with a roughly 40 percent increase above its moving averages, it could potentially “reach around $339,000.”
“In the less likely scenario that the extended 2017 cycle repeats with similar diminishing returns, Bitcoin could peak around $290,000 by early 2026,” they said.
US Bitcoin reserve may change the narrativeMeanwhile, the possibility of the incoming Trump administration creating a strategic Bitcoin reserve has the crypto industry speculating that the market narrative could move into uncharted territory.
“If one country implements a Bitcoin strategic reserve, you can kiss goodbye to your 4-year cycles,” crypto analyst Tyler Durden said in a Dec. 17 X post.
After Donald Trump won the election on Nov. 5, the Trump-backing pro-crypto Senator Cynthia Lummis said she would move forward with legislation for the US government to buy Bitcoin and hold it for at least 20 years.

Ripple (XRP), the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, made headlines following a thwarted hacking attempt on the Bitfinex exchange.
After an unsuccessful attack through the Bitfinex platform, data analysis accounts shared details of a multibillion-dollar XRP movement. Authorities promptly addressed the situation, quelling fears.
On January 14, 2023, an assailant targeted the Bitfinex exchange with an unsuccessful attack on the XRP Ledger network. Information surfaced through the WhaleAlerts account, indicating a movement of $15 billion worth of XRP in a single transaction. This amount represented half of the market value of the popular altcoin.
Bitfinex's Paolo Ardoino clarified that this situation stemmed from an unsuccessful hacking attempt. The attacker attempted to deceive Bitfinex by portraying the transaction as genuine, employing the "Partial Payment Exploit" method to potentially target the exchange. This method aims to transfer as much as possible to another system until the specified amount is withdrawn if there is a vulnerability in the institution. Ardoino reassured that the exchange's secure systems prevented any harm from this situation. Remarkably, the Ripple (XRP) price remained unaffected by the incident.

Department of Justice requests Bitfinex hack victims to come forward by November 13
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched a website to collect information from individuals affected by the 2016 Bitfinex hack, in which approximately 120,000 BTC was stolen.
This website provides a platform for potential victims to assert their rights under the Crime Victims' Rights Act (CVRA) and submit detailed statements about their losses.
In 2016, defendant Ilya Lichtenstein hacked Bitfinex and, along with his wife Heather Rhiannon Morgan, laundered the stolen money through complex schemes involving cryptocurrency mixers, darknet markets, and foreign bank accounts.

A giant whale just deposited its remaining 60,079 $ETH ($234M) to #Bitfinex after nearly 6 years of holding!
The whale withdrew 87,085 $ETH from Bitfinex in Jan 2019 at only $153 ($13.4M).
Later, the whale sent 600 $ETH to Tornado Cash in 2020 and redeposited 86,484 $ETH in Nov 2023 and Dec 2024 at an average price of $3,331.
If these were trades, the whale would have made an estimated $274.8M profit (20.7x return).
