1. Market Watch
Keywords: ETH, ETF, BTC
Bitcoin remains the core focus of professional investors and traders, with its volatility offering significant profit potential. After reaching a historic high, Bitcoin's price saw a slight pullback, and market analysts expect an important turning point in 2025. Meanwhile, Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad', predicts that Bitcoin's price could soar to between 175,000 and 350,000 USD.
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has performed well, setting a new benchmark for the ETF market. Despite challenges facing the Ethereum network, its ETF saw record inflows last December. Additionally, BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF surpassed 50 billion USD in size less than 11 months after launch, marking a significant milestone in ETF history.
Market sentiment is overall bullish, and experts expect Bitcoin adoption rates to rise significantly. Galaxy Research forecasts that by 2025, five countries may invest in Bitcoin as a strategic asset. Meanwhile, Switzerland plans to initiate a nationwide referendum on a Bitcoin proposal, which will enter the next phase if 100,000 signatures are collected by June 2026.
Despite Bitcoin rising 2.9% to 97,526 USD, altcoins including XRP, SOL, and DOGE are also gaining attention due to the market's dominance. However, market data shows that large transaction volumes have declined by 35.4%, and daily active addresses have also seen a slight decrease. Nevertheless, thanks to ETF inflows and an improving regulatory environment, the market remains optimistic about the long-term prospects of Bitcoin and altcoins.
