FREE BANKING ON BITCOIN. OLD UTOPIA AND NEW REALITY
Galaxy's November report on second-layer (L2) solutions based on the first cryptocurrency raised questions about the prospects of DeFi on Bitcoin. Analysts estimate the segment's TVL at $50 billion by 2030 (2.3% of the annual supply of digital gold at the current rate). Oleg Cash Coin figured out who and how will provide an influx of liquidity into L2 solutions based on Bitcoin in the coming years.
The coin looks extremely strong now. It showed more than 10 x in a month, and now it has entered a correction phase, after which it will most likely return to growth.
I see targets in the region of $4.5-5, just to take an easy couple of x on the update of the recently set ATH.
The coin should not be rolled out, since everyone bought directly during the growth, and no one has managed to earn yet, but just in case, set yourself an SL according to your strategy 🤝
A three-line breakout chart with daily noise and irregular price movements filtered out shows that the cryptocurrency has completed an eight-month correction period.
The pattern signals the start of a broad uptrend in ETH from the October 2023 lows near $1,500.
Such breakouts often cause a cascading price increase, attracting new buyers and forcing sellers out of the market, Godbole explained.
A similar pattern in Bitcoin in mid-October led to the rate returning to around $73,000. Since then, the digital gold quotes have added about 45%, rising to ~$96,000.
The technical bullish signal in Ethereum is supported by fundamental factors.
In November, the number of BLOBs placed on the network by L2 protocols increased sharply. The increased activity increases the volume of fees, the partial burning of which takes the coins out of circulation.
It is also worth paying attention to the institutional interest in the second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. On November 29, nine spot ETH ETFs in the US recorded a net inflow of $332.9 million, a record figure since the products were launched in July.
BINANCE WILL CONDUCT A MONKY AIRDROP AMONG FLOKI AND APE HOLDERS
The cryptocurrency exchange Binance will support the distribution of the meme coin Wise Monkey (MONKY) for holders of FLOKI (FLOKI) and ApeCoin (APE).
The airdrop will be conducted at a rate of 0.35 MONKY for each 1 FLOKI and 804,828 MONKY for a unique account with a balance of at least 1 APE.
Snapshot date:
November 29, 00:00 UTC for APE holders; December 15, 00:00 UTC for FLOKI holders.
For the purposes of the distribution, tokens awaiting deposit or withdrawal at the time of the snapshot, as well as those borrowed from margin or crypto loans, will not be counted.
Snapshots will include assets and liabilities of FLOKI and APE in spot and margin wallets, funding wallets, Simple Earn, and credit accounts.
"Users with net liabilities of FLOKI or APE from margin or any loans will have to return an equivalent amount of MONKY," said platform representatives.
Support for the airdrop does not guarantee subsequent listing of MONKY on Binance.
I remind you that in June, the exchange provided BNB holders with early access to tokens preparing to be added to the platform.
A significant increase in the market capitalization of altcoins may indicate the beginning of a new alt season. Investors are closely monitoring the market.
Less than a day after updating the historical maximum at levels above $93,900, the quotes of the first cryptocurrency confidently overcame the $94,000 mark.
On Binance, the rate momentarily reached $94,585. The average weighted estimate of the new ATH from CoinGecko is $94,617.43.
Most of the leading altcoins by capitalization did not react to the price movement of the flagship. The exceptions were Cardano (ADA) and XRP — plus 14.4% and 4.1% per day, respectively, against 3.7% for Bitcoin.
The largest corporate holder of BTC, MicroStrategy, has acquired 51,780 BTC for $4.6 billion. Now the company's total reserves amount to 331,200 BTC, with a yield of 41.8% in 2024.
Matthew Siegel from VanEck believes that by the end of 2025, Solana will receive a spot ETF. In his opinion, there are significant changes ahead in the SEC's regulatory policy that should support the development of crypto products.
CRYPTOQUANT HEAD RAISED BITCOIN FORECAST TO $135,000
Based on the cumulative capital inflow to the bitcoin market, the target price for digital gold in the current cycle is $135,000. This conclusion was reached by the founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Yun Joo.
Thus, the expert adjusted his February forecast for the quotes of the first cryptocurrency based on realized capitalization. A month earlier, spot bitcoin ETFs began trading.
The head of CryptoQuant suggested that inflows into products would serve as a driver of the bull market, so the price could reach $112,000 by the end of the year.
According to SoSoValue, the total net inflow into exchange-traded funds as of November 15 approached $27.5 billion.
"We are in a bull market. Bitcoin will continue to grow," the analyst emphasized.
However, he warned that this does not mean the absence of corrections, as "the perpetual futures market is overly leveraged."
The appeal of investors who accused Elon Musk of manipulating $DOGE has been withdrawn, ending the trial. Musk is no longer facing charges of rigging the cryptocurrency market.
