Bitcoin had an impressive fourth quarter in 2024 with a 55% increase in market capitalization and 28.9% in realized capitalization. Although it does not match the 58% increase in the first quarter, the fourth quarter remains the best quarter of the year.

Compared to previous cycles, the increase in 2024 is somewhat modest, as previous growth cycles often recorded market capitalization increases of nearly 100% and realized capitalization from 50-70%.

While history does not always repeat itself, the optimistic sentiment of Bitcoin investors may open up long-term growth opportunities in 2025, although there is still the possibility of short-term corrections.
