The head of Binance explained the uniqueness of the upcoming Bitcoin halving
Richard Teng believes that the fundamental value of Bitcoin will depend on its liquidity and the recognition of cryptocurrency as a full-fledged asset class. The head of the largest crypto exchange Binance, Richard Teng, believes that the upcoming Bitcoin halving will take place under “unique” conditions. In comments to The Block, Teng, who headed Binance in November 2023 after the departure of its founder Changpeng Zhao, indicated that the fourth Bitcoin halving is unique in that it will take place against the backdrop of a number of other important events in the Bitcoin ecosystem and will coincide with a period of growth in both cryptocurrency and and in the global market as a whole. In addition to the growing interest from institutional investors caused by the launch of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) on Bitcoin, according to Teng, today there is a boom in activity in Layer 2 networks and decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols on the blockchain bitcoin. This growth is largely due to the popularity of the Ordinals protocol, which allows the issuance of NFTs based on Bitcoin. According to him, the Bitcoin rate shows an upward trend for six months after each halving, which leads to a decrease in the rate of issuance of the first cryptocurrency. Teng believes that the reduction in the supply of new Bitcoin coins is a key factor in the growth of its price. #btc #eth #wsm
Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley: “Almost all investment companies are secretly interested in Bitcoin”
#btc #eth #wsm The CEO of Bitwise said that officially registered investment advisers (RIAs) and companies that engage in fiduciary capital management are increasingly becoming interested in Bitcoin. Hunter Horsley believes that many family offices are now buying their first cryptocurrency, but almost none of them are publicly announcing it. If you look at the profiles of these management companies on LinkedIn or their websites, there will be nothing said about buying Bitcoin. The Bitwise CEO claims to have had about ten two-hour meetings with RIAs this week, and all of them showed genuine interest in Bitcoin. “Many investment advisors are well aware of what Bitcoin is, they are looking at investments in BTC for the long term and thinking about how Bitcoin can fit into an investment portfolio,” the businessman assures. The head of Bitwise is confident that this indicates a turning point in the adoption of Bitcoin by traditional companies. The upcoming halving, which could become a catalyst for an increase in the value of the first cryptocurrency, also contributes to interest. Hunter Horsley suggested that after the reward for miners is halved, the BTC rate is able to reach $100,000. However, according to the top manager of Bitwise, the importance of halving is greatly underestimated by the market. According to December forecasts from Bitwise Asset Management analysts, in 2024 the Bitcoin rate will reach new historical highs and rise to $80,000.

10x Research analyst allowed the Bitcoin rate to rise above $52 thousand by April
Markus Thielen from 10x Research allowed Bitcoin to rise above $52 thousand by the end of the first quarter of 2024, writes CoinDesk. The analyst, who predicted Bitcoin's recent decline to $38,000 in mid-January, believes that a slowdown in the outflow of funds from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) and advertising of a Bitcoin ETF on Google could contribute to further growth in the rate of the first cryptocurrency. Thielen uses Elliott theory in his forecasts , which assumes that asset prices move in waves. According to this theory, a trend develops in five waves, of which the first, third and fifth are “impulse waves” of the main trend. The rest are “pullback waves,” meaning a temporary halt to the underlying trend. According to Thielen, Bitcoin has been in this “wave” pattern since early last year, and the recent decline from $49K to $38.5K represents the fourth wave. that is, a temporary setback. Now the fifth wave has begun, which can raise the price of Bitcoin above $52.6 thousand. Thielen considers the breaking of the $43 thousand level to be the right moment to start “bullish” bets. And, in his opinion, advertising of exchange-traded BTC funds on Google can lead to an increase in the price of Bitcoin , the general growth of the stock market and the cessation of the influence on the price of the first cryptocurrency of the outflow of funds from the Grayscale fund.“From a risk management perspective, we should go long again as soon as Bitcoin breaks above $43,000. <span Potential catalysts for a move higher could include a reduction in the impact of Grayscale GBTC sales on the price of Bitcoin, new all-time highs in stocks and allowing advertising crypto ETFs on Google,” wrote the founder of 10x Research.#btc #eth #wsm
CryptoQuant analysts call Bitcoin ETF approval “news for sales”
#btc #eth #wsm Experts predicted a drop in the rate of the first cryptocurrency to $32 thousand. According to specialists from the analytical platform CryptoQuant, the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States could become “sell the news,” writes The Block. This will lead to the fact that the price of BTC could drop to $32 thousand, experts believe. Buy the Rumor, Sell the News is an investor strategy “Buy on rumors, sell on facts/news.” The mechanism works like this: on the eve of an event (based on rumors about it), the market, fueled by anticipation, invests in the asset, which contributes to its rise in price. In this case, buying bitcoins before the expected approval of spot bitcoin ETFs. But among investors there are both speculators and those who plan to close positions at local highs. Therefore, the expected event itself often becomes a reason for them to fixate (selling on news), which leads to a correction in the price of the asset after the event. In support of its forecasts, CryptoQuant provides data according to which Bitcoin owners have large unrealized profits after the first cryptocurrency grew in price above $40 thousand. Historically, this precedes a price correction, analysts say.rbc.grouppressure on Bitcoin sales could also come from high unrealized miner profits, CryptoQuant noted, pointing to increased sales from Bitcoin miners in the past few weeks, during which the BTC price remained above $40 thousand. According to analysts, if the “sell at news" is correct, then the price of Bitcoin may drop to $32 thousand. Earlier, Bitfinex analysts predicted a correction in the Bitcoin rate. They noted that the short-term pullback of the first cryptocurrency may be due to the fact that the $44 thousand level serves as a profit realization point for medium-term holders of the asset.

In the US, companies were proposed valuation rules for the market value of BTC
#btc #etc #wsm Happycoin.club - The US Financial Accounting Standards Board has announced new rules requiring companies to measure Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at fair value. The rules are set to take effect on December 15, 2024, although companies have the option to adopt them earlier. The guidelines require businesses to report the value of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies at market prices at the end of each reporting period. The new initiative aims to improve the transparency and accuracy of financial reporting, given the volatile nature of digital assets such as Bitcoin. Unlike previous methods, which treated Bitcoin as an intangible asset, the new approach uses fair value accounting. The innovation will allow companies to periodically record unrealized gains and losses by offering benefits on their balance sheets if the asset price rises, without having to sell. The change could encourage more companies to hold bitcoin for the long term and report appreciation without selling. Grayscale Investments LLC CFO Edward McGee called the new initiative a “holiday gift of common sense accounting.”

On November 24, 2023, the highest court in Podgorica approved the extradition of Do Kwon at the request of the South Korean authorities and the USA. Do Kwon may spend most of his life behind bars, first in South Korea and then in the United States, said Dan Sung-gan, director of the financial crimes investigation bureau at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutor's Office.

Glassnode: Bitcoin ETF will be able to attract $70 billion to the crypto market.
A surge of interest in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds amid anticipation of US regulatory approval could potentially increase the flow of money into cryptocurrencies, Glassnode analysts write. Experts estimate that after the approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF, up to $70 billion of new capital could flow into the Bitcoin market. The forecast is based on the assumption that 10% of the money currently invested in the main stock and bond ETFs will flow into the Bitcoin ETF. The main influx of investment into Bitcoin ETFs is expected not only from the stock and bond market ($60.6 billion), but also from the gold market ($9.9 billion), experts believe. Even more conservative projections suggest billions of dollars could flow into the market in the early years. In October, the digital asset market saw increased interest from institutional investors in cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin led the bullish trend, up 28% month-over-month and up over 108% year-to-date. Other cryptocurrencies, such as Solana, also posted impressive gains, pointing to a broader market recovery, Glassnode analysts wrote. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must approve a Bitcoin ETF by mid-January. Meanwhile, Bloomberg experts believe that the approval of exchange-traded funds for Bitcoin by the American regulator will be able to attract even up to $100 billion into the cryptocurrency industry. Thanks to this, such heavyweights of traditional finance as BlackRock, Fidelity and Invesco will be able to appear on the crypto market. According to a new report from research firm Bernstein, Bitcoin has the potential to become a global macro asset with a market capitalization of over $3 trillion.#btc #eth #wsm
