#CryptoUsersHit18M

💡 "Once upon a time, in 2008..."
The world’s financial system crashed. People lost jobs, trust, and savings overnight. But amid the chaos, an anonymous figure—Satoshi Nakamoto—dropped an idea that would shake the very foundation of money: Bitcoin.

🚀 "Digital Money With No Banks?"
No governments. No middlemen. Just a peer-to-peer network where YOU are in charge of your money. Crazy, right? Yet, in 2009, the first Bitcoin transaction happened, and a revolution began.

🎯 But It Didn’t Stop There
Fast forward to today:

Ethereum gave us smart contracts—self-executing deals with no lawyers.

NFTs turned memes, art, and music into million-dollar digital assets.

Altcoins like Solana, Cardano, and Ripple joined the race to change finance forever.

💰 From $0 to $1 Trillion+ Industry
In 2010, 2 pizzas were bought for 10,000 BTC (now worth over $600 million). By 2021, Bitcoin hit $60,000. Today, crypto is not just currency; it’s the future of investing, gaming, art, and even identity.

When Will Chainlink (LINK) Hit $100?
The price of Chainlink (LINK) might hit $100 in the period mid-2025 to mid-2026.
Chainlink (LINK) may move to $100 in case (a) crypto markets continue to exhibit bullish momentum (b) Chainlink clears resistance at $30-33 which is its 38.2% Fibonacci level (c) Chainlink benefits from institutional adoption.
Chainlink (LINK) is an oracle-based network with a large number of partnerships. We recommended LINK to subscribers back in 2020 before an epic price surge.
We remain firmly still bullish on LINK, even more so once the $16.91 price point is broken through. It’s been in an established consolidation zone for over 80 days and is currently testing the top.
The low and high points have been tested on numerous occasions. The Chainlink (LINK) price is likely to go to $100 in 2025.
The majority of analysts are bullish on ChainlinkThe question comes up – when is a blockchain protocol like Chainlink undervalued?
In other words, what is the most objective valuation methodology in the absence of a standard valuation methodology?
Chainlink is experiencing institutional adoption.
As explained in this 2025 crypto narrative, it might be the #RWA becomes the next big thing. Chainlink is positioning itself in this space, and hitting the next narrative, ultimately, will be the most important driver for success in LINK’s price.
The LINK price forecast to $100 loosely corresponds to Ethereum’s price prediction to $10,000, both being roughly a 5x increase.
These are reasonable price targets at the heights of the next crypto bull market unlike Bitcoin’s $1m price.
We believe, from a relative perspective, that LINK’s price target of $100 is reasonable if it succeeds in hitting the right narrative(s).
And it is currently doing so!
Our take on Chainlink (LINK) price to $100We take a top-down approach in address the question whether LINK will hit $100 sooner or later.
The weekly chart below signifies an ABCD pattern (AB 2019-2021, BC 2021-2023, CD 2024-2026). It’s important to point out that after the breakout, $16.91 is likely to be rested in 2024. In other words, it’s not simply going to shoot to $100 in a straight line.
While this might seem obvious, new investors can sometimes expect to make ‘straight-line’ returns without adjusting to the market and without specific entry/exit positions.
December 15th – The ABCD pattern which we identified when we first wrote this article, in February of 2024, is playing out exactly as forecasted. In fact, LINK is hitting our stretched targets.
The horizontal range is part of a much wider 18-month consolidation range when you zoom out. This wider view is more relevant as it did lead to a sustained breakout
December 15th – We think that once the $22.6 level is broken to the upside, which happened recently, the next levels to be tested will be $29.9 and $54.0. As seen below, LINK is hitting our 2024 bullish target.
Another point worth mentioning is the invalidation criteria. In this instance, LINK below $12 would invalidate the forecast. However, the possibility of this happening is tiny in our view.
Chainlink (LINK) price to $100? Quite possibleThe IH analyst team believes that LINK can reach $100 by late 2025 or early 2026.
LINK has been trading in an established zone between $13 – $23 for over 12 months. This is a great base; as the saying goes ‘the longer the base the higher in space.’
Chainlink plays in a promising segment/sector (oracles, data) which we are very bullish on.
2025 is set to be a great year for altcoins.
December 15th – The crypto market is hot though bifurcated. It looks like the #RWA narrative is getting traction. This bodes very well for tokens like Chainlink. It looks like LINK will hit $100 sooner or later, though not short term.
Buying and holding LINK is a good option, is what we said in the summer of 2024. LINK delivered 10x to our premium members in 2020 when we recommended it. Our LINK call mid-2024 seems to be as solid as the one in 2020. Check our track record hitting crypto multi-baggers.

Shiba Inu Whales Make 2.79 Trillion SHIB Move: What's Next for Price?
Dog-themed cryptocurrency Shiba Inu (SHIB) has seen a comeback in whale activity, with large transaction volumes surging 41.39% in the last 24 hours, according to data from IntoTheBlock.
This spike represents a total of 2.79 trillion SHIB, or $76.48 million in monetary terms, signaling renewed interest from large holders after days of declining activity.
Large transactions are defined as transfers exceeding $100,000, often related to institutional players or large holders, or “whales.”
The current increase might suggest that these large holders might be reentering the market, potentially gearing up for significant moves in SHIB’s price.
Shiba Inu has recently had lackluster performance, with falling large transaction volumes and a dip in overall trading activity.
In the last 24 hours, Shiba Inu's trading volume was down 18.25% to $679.45 million, per CoinMarketCap data.
According to IntoTheBlock, Shiba Inu's large transaction volume has declined since Dec. 10, from 18.85 trillion SHIB to 1.9 trillion SHIB on Dec. 13.
The recent 41% surge in whale transactions might indicate a possible shift in sentiment; whales may be accumulating SHIB at a discount as the crypto market faces profit-taking.
Crypto-tracked futures saw nearly $252 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours as the market sell-off accelerated in the early Sunday trading session.
The majority of cryptocurrency assets, including SHIB, traded in the red. Will prices follow? At the time of writing, SHIB was down 3.49% in the last 24 hours to $0.00002736 and down 14% weekly.
A break above critical resistance levels could spark a rally, but for now, SHIB’s price remains steady. Shiba Inu encountered resistance near the $0.00003 level on Dec. 12 and will mark three out of four days in red if today ends in losses.
However, a clear breach above the $0.00003 barrier could boost SHIB's price above $0.000033. SHIB might rise to $0.000039, then to $0.000046. If Shiba Inu falls below the 50-day SMA of $0.0000246, the bears might get an advantage.
The RSI is at the midpoint, indicating that SHIB prices might trade in a range in the coming days.

Bitcoin may ‘pump then rotate back’ if US strategic reserve gets approved
A crypto analyst warns that Bitcoin’s price could face volatility if the highly anticipated United States Bitcoin Strategic Reserve bill gets passed.
A crypto analyst has warned that if approved, Senator Lummis’ proposal for the United States government to acquire 5% of Bitcoin’s supply could cause increased price volatility in the short term.
“I expect it to be pretty volatile, especially if the strategic Bitcoin reserve gets approved; I think Bitcoin will pump then probably rotate back,” Collective Shift founder and CEO Ben Simpson told Cointelegraph.
Bitcoin dominance will “start to fall”
Cointelegraph recently reported that after Trump’s winning the presidential election on Nov. 5, Wyoming Senator Cynthia Lummis — a Trump supporter, Republican and crypto advocate — said she would move forward with legislation for the US government to buy 1 million Bitcoin BTC $101,722 and hold it for at least 20 years.
As for the current market state, Simpson believes that Bitcoin dominance — a measure of how much of the crypto market’s total value belongs to BTC — will “start to fall” and the “rotation” into altcoins has “actually begun” after Bitcoin started consolidating “around $100,000” and altcoins started “to climb.”
At the time of publication, Bitcoin dominance is 56.63%, down 7.20% over the past 30 days, according to TradingView data.
Crypto trader Momin told their 140,000 X followers on Dec. 13 that they “expect this downtrend in dominance to continue and possibly see alts run pretty hard in the coming week.”
However, Simpson believes transitioning into altcoin season won’t be so straightforward.
“I think it will be pretty volatile; I don’t think it will be straight into altcoin season,” he added.
Bitcoin will continue to be “part of the portfolio” for institutions
Meanwhile, Bitfinex analysts told Cointelegraph that based on returns, many altcoins have not yet breached new all-time highs in terms of their return against Bitcoin, “hence proving that Bitcoin had always been a fruitful and competitive investment, even when compared against Altcoins.”
“We believe that even post any pull back, Bitcoin will continue to be part of the portfolio of major institutions and that interest in Bitcoin will continue to grow,” the analysts said.
Bitfinex analysts said that with Bitcoin now surpassing six figures, as long as it maintains strong demand, any upcoming dips will be short-term and possibly a buying opportunity for investors:
“At a price of 100K, there has continued to be sufficient spot buying to sustain this level, and currently, leverage levels are reasonable, so even if a dip occurs, which won’t be surprising during the holiday season, the price trend is healthy and shows reasonable strength in the market for any dip to be bought.”
“Believers in Bitcoin are also becoming more adamant about the asset being a perfect substitute for gold and a true store of value,” Bitfinex analysts added.
On Nov. 23, Cointelegraph reported that global investment manager VanEck had reissued its $180,000 price target for Bitcoin at the current cycle’s peak.
VanEck digital asset analysts Nathan Frankovitz and Matthew Sigel said the next phase of the crypto bull market is only “just beginning.”

XRP Plunges 12% as Crypto Market Loses $1 Trillion

This week is off to a terrible start for the cryptocurrency market, with multiple tokens recording double-digit losses.
The Ripple-affiliated XRP cryptocurrency is down as much as 12% after slipping to an intraday low of $2.07. 
Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) also logged significant losses, dropping by 10.6% and 13.4%, respectively.
Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency, is down a mere 2.6% after briefly reclaiming the $100,000 level on Monday.
The cryptocurrency market is now on track to have its worst day in four months, with as much as $1 trillion of value being wiped out. 
According to data provided by CoinGlass, a staggering $1.76 billion worth of crypto got liquidated over the past 24 hours. Unsurprisingly, long positions account for the vast majority of the sum ($1.58 billion). 
Overall, nearly 600,000 trades got liquidated, with one trader losing as much as $19.69 million with a single ETH/USDT order on the Binance exchange earlier today. 
Binance, the leading cryptocurrency platform in the world, has had the largest share of liquidations ($756.26 million). 
Notably, Ethereum is above Bitcoin when it comes to the total amount of longs liquidated over the past 24 hours ($223 million and $148 million, respectively). 
Solana, Dogecoin, and XRP are also in the top five after emerging as some of the top speculative bets over the past few months. 
"If retail traders react with fear and begin selling off their bags, expect a swift rebound to assets like TRX, AVAX, DOT, ICP, POL, FIL, and TIA," crypto analytics firm Santiment said in a recent post.

Trump Pledges to Block CBDC, Protects Against Gov’t Tyranny
During a campaign speech in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on January 17, former U.S. President and presidential candidate Donald Trump emphatically declared his commitment to preventing the Federal Reserve from introducing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the United States. Asserting his vow, he stated, “Tonight, I’m making another promise to protect Americans from government tyranny.”
The audience responded with enthusiastic applause, prompting Trump to express surprise, saying, “I didn’t know you knew so much. New Hampshire, very smart people.” He then elaborated on his pledge to oppose the creation of a CBDC by the Federal Reserve.

“This would be a dangerous threat to freedom and I will stop it from coming to America,” he said.
Vivek Ramaswamy Exits Republican Nomination Race, Backs Trump
Republican Party nominee hopeful Vivek Ramaswamy, who advocated for a crypto-centric policy framework, withdrew from the race on January 15 after securing around 8% of the vote in the Iowa Caucus. Ramaswamy has formally thrown his support behind Donald Trump.
Former Securities and Exchange Commission enforcer John Reed Stark suggested on January 17 that the crypto movement could play a pivotal role in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Stark proposed that every presidential candidate should promptly appoint an internal Crypto Czar to act as their primary representative and spokesperson for their stance on cryptocurrencies.
Crypto Movement Impact On 2024 Presidential Election
If the crypto movement gains substantial prominence in the 2024 presidential election, it could have far-reaching implications for candidates and their campaigns.
A well-defined regulatory framework for the cryptocurrency industry could foster growth, investment, and job creation. Candidates who emphasize the importance of providing regulatory clarity to the crypto industry while ensuring consumer protection and security measures might gain support from both industry stakeholders and the general public.
Candidates who oppose the introduction of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) may position themselves as champions against government overreach. This stance could attract voters who are skeptical of centralized control and view CBDCs as potential threats to financial privacy and personal liberties.

Indian Crypto Exchanges Ensure Easy Crypto Transfers Amid Offshore Ban
In response to the Ministry of Finance’s Financial Intelligence Unit’s ban on offshore crypto exchanges such as Binance and OKX, Indian crypto exchanges are assuring users of seamless transfers for those looking to move their crypto assets. Now people are very confused. Is Binance safe or not?
Various Indian crypto exchanges are offering attractive fee waiver incentives to aid users with funds stranded on the banned foreign exchanges. CoinDCX, among the leading Indian crypto exchanges in terms of trading volume, has disclosed a commitment of $1 million to facilitate the transfer of assets to compliant crypto exchanges.
Indian Crypto Exchanges Facilitating Investors
Subsequently, BuyUcoin, another notable Indian crypto exchange, declared a zero-fee policy for users transferring from offshore exchanges following the FIU ban. Shivam Thakral, the CEO of BuyUcoin, expressed that they view the FIU’s decision as a positive measure for safeguarding investors and upholding regulations pertaining to capital flight in the context of foreign exchange entities.
WazirX, another leading exchange, introduced a 1% bonus for users shifting their crypto assets to WazirX. Consequently, they have observed a significant surge in activity, with a 42.3% increase in P2P transactions, a 253% rise in spot trading volume, and a 114% uptick in deposits from November to January compared to the preceding three months.
FIU Notice and App Store Restrictions Shake Crypto Landscape
In a decisive move, the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), a branch of the Indian Finance Ministry, issued a non-compliance notice to several prominent crypto exchanges, including Binance, Huobi, Kraken, Gate.io, KuCoin, Bitstamp, MEXC Global, Bittrex, and Bitfinex, on December 28, 2023. The FIU mandated a one-week timeframe for these exchanges to respond to the notice and directed the IT department to block the URLs of the mentioned foreign crypto exchanges if they failed to comply.
Around two weeks after the FIU’s notice, on January 10, Apple’s Indian app store took the preemptive step of blocking all foreign crypto exchanges. However, during this period, the apps were still accessible on the Android app store. Within a week, Google’s app store also followed suit, blocking these foreign crypto exchanges. This development triggered a sense of panic among Indian users who had turned to foreign exchanges like Binance to avoid a hefty 30% crypto tax.

Price of Bitcoin Surged Amid Hopes for Approval of Spot Bitcoin ETF
In the past 24 hours, the cryptocurrency market has once again witnessed a surge, notably propelled by Bitcoin playing a pivotal role. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was trading at $46,827. During this period, Bitcoin managed to reach $47,355, surpassing the $47,000 mark, marking a 21-month high. Earlier, on March 1, Bitcoin successfully surpassed the $48,000 level. The recent upward momentum in Bitcoin’s prices is being observed due to the anticipation surrounding the potential approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is set to make a decision on the applications for the Ark/21Shares spot Bitcoin ETF on January 10. The SEC’s decision to approve or reject the Ark/21Shares spot Bitcoin ETF is crucial. Consequently, a positive atmosphere prevails in the crypto market, prompting a surge in the prices of all crypto tokens. However, there were prior speculations that the SEC might delay the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF until April 2024, leading Bitcoin to drop below $41,000.
WisdomTree and VanEck’s ETF tickers launched in DTCC
One contributing factor behind Bitcoin’s successful climb to $47,355 is the launch of WisdomTree and VanEck’s ETF tickers in the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). Indeed, on January 8, the ETF tickers for WisdomTree and VanEck were launched at DTCC, fostering a positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.
This atmosphere has ignited enthusiasm among investors to purchase Bitcoin, thus contributing to the observed surge in Bitcoin prices. Experts in the cryptosphere believe that this momentum might persist in the coming times.

Furthermore, some experts are optimistic, foreseeing that after the approval of the spot Bitcoin ETF, Bitcoin could surpass the $100,000 milestone. This optimistic outlook is attributed to the potential influx of institutional funds and heightened market interest that a Bitcoin ETF approval could trigger.
Impact of Regulatory Shifts and ETF Developments on Crypto Realm
The fluctuations and speculations surrounding Bitcoin’s price movements continue to captivate both investors and enthusiasts in the cryptocurrency realm. The market remains poised, awaiting the SEC’s decision regarding the spot Bitcoin ETF, a potential game-changer for the trajectory of Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
The recent developments in the ETF landscape and regulatory decisions demonstrate the significant impact of traditional financial mechanisms on the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies. The evolution of Bitcoin’s narrative from a speculative asset to a potential institutional investment vehicle continues to shape the crypto landscape, introducing new paradigms and opportunities for market participants.

Cat Memecoin popularity increases in the Dog world of Meme Coin
Interest is growing in the market for meme coins with a cat theme. Investors are becoming attracted to meme coins in the crypto market because of their recent strong performance. Solana's meme coins, in particular, have made waves in the market, but recently, another trend has emerged in the market. Cat-themed meme coins are garnering significant enthusiasm. Several cat-themed meme coins are trending, with some recording triple-digit growth during the past week. Despite seeing a correction across the entire crypto market, meme coins are reaching new highs. Despite a decrease of approximately 1.5% in the total crypto market cap, the meme coin market cap has increased by approximately 4% today. However, the most significant increase has been observed in cat-themed meme coins.

Price increases in several coins

It should be noted that CAT token, one of the oldest cat-themed meme coins, has reached a new all-time high today after recording a growth of more than 430% in a day and over 1,000% since last week. The token's growth is believed to be due to promotion on social media. Another cat-themed token, Chonk The Cat (CHONK), launched with a presale last week and has since increased by approximately 200%. Recently, the MEW token was launched, and several FOMO trading activities were observed across the entire market. Following the launch of MEW, there was a surge in its price, resulting in significant profits for traders.
Offering significant profits at low prices
Additionally, several cat-themed meme tokens have been launched recently, indicating the frenzy among investors for cat-themed meme coins. One reason for the price increase is that due to being meme tokens, few investors take risks on them, but whenever there is a surge in these meme coins, they show not just 100-200% but 1000-2000% growth, making investors rich in a short period. Therefore, cat-themed meme coins are considered good for investment. While these tokens carry significant risks, the profits from these tokens are also substantial. This is why investors are seen to be excited about them.
