Bitcoin's market capitalization has surpassed that of silver
Over the year, the market capitalization of the cryptocurrency market soared from $1.65 trillion to $3.28 trillion, while Bitcoin was able to surpass silver in market capitalization.
The Federal Reserve is easing monetary policy, which is boosting interest in the stock market and cryptocurrencies. Experts predict a bright future for Bitcoin: Robert Kiyosaki — $500,000 by 2025, Tim Draper and Mike Novogratz — $250,000 and $500,000 by 2028, respectively.
But there are even bolder predictions; for example, Cathy Wood believes that by 2030, Bitcoin will reach $1 million, and Michael Saylor is confident that by 2045, its price will be $13 million.

💵 Predictions for BTC at $120,000 have sharply increased since Trump's inauguration
Exchanges are seeing a surge in interest for the call option on BTC at $120,000, which currently amounts to $1.52 billion.
🌐 According to the director of Amberdata, the bullish momentum is driven by the favorable sentiment surrounding Trump's cryptocurrency position.
Technical analysts are observing 2 potential scenarios for BTC:
1️⃣ BTC has recently repeated the Wyckoff accumulation model, last seen during the FOMC rate cut. Holding the support level of $90,800 with possible wicks down to $86,500 will confirm the upward trend.
2️⃣ The resistance level at $102,760 requires a decisive breakthrough with strong volume to confirm further growth. Movement above this level could push BTC to $110,000 and beyond in the coming weeks.

XRP demonstrates impressive results
After Donald Trump's victory in the elections, XRP soared by more than 300%. The altseason has started against a backdrop of capital inflow into risk assets.
Investors have high hopes for Donald Trump, expecting his administration to legalize cryptocurrencies. This will open new horizons for all market participants.
Ripple, the developer of XRP, has been engaged in a fierce legal battle with the SEC for over two years. If Gary Gensler leaves his post, it could be a significant step towards easing the regulator's policy towards cryptocurrencies.
Santiment analysis shows that mentions of XRP on social media significantly exceed discussions of Bitcoin and Ethereum. This indicates growing popularity and interest in the project.
Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, announced ambitious plans for 2025: the company plans to expand its workforce by more than 60%, with most of them based in the USA. Ripple is striving for growth and strengthening its market position.

CryproQuant's Ki Young Zhu Believes Government BTC Sales Won't Put Much Pressure on the Market
CryproQuant CEO Ki Young Zhu says there is no reason to worry about the possible sale of bitcoins by the US government.
Last year, the market saw around $1 billion in daily inflows, with the total volume amounting to $379 billion. Even if the government sells $6.5 billion, the market will absorb this amount in just a week. So there is no need to panic.
Michael Saylor also confidently stated that the first country that decides to print its own currency specifically for buying bitcoins will have a huge advantage.
He also emphasized that MicroStrategy is already doing something similar: it issues shares (MSTR), which can be considered an internal currency, and uses them to buy bitcoins.

Whales began actively buying Bitcoin after its drawdown
In December, Bitcoin soared to $108,268, but three days later it fell below $93,000. According to CryptoQuant, whales purchased more than 34,000 BTC during this time, worth $3.2 billion. Such behavior by large players often indicates the approach of a local minimum.
In January, whale activity decreased, but experts predict an increase in institutional investment in Bitcoin in 2025. Large players began to actively enter BTC in June 2023, when BlackRock announced its intention to launch a crypto ETF fund.
Swap rates rose in November, but after Bitcoin fell below $108,000, they began to decline. In January, they were back in the positive zone.
Traders are expecting growth before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20. This moment could become a catalyst for new movements in the cryptocurrency market.

Traders place high hopes on Trump's promises
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts are not wasting any time: they have already begun actively lobbying their interests within the Trump administration, seeking to realize his promises made in the first 100 days of his presidency. Among their main goals:
Creation of a US Bitcoin reserve — a step that could significantly strengthen the position of cryptocurrency on the global stage.
Ensuring access for cryptocurrency companies to traditional banking services, which will open new opportunities for growth and development in the industry.
Formation of a cryptocurrency advisory committee that will develop and implement policies to promote the development and regulation of the market.
Analysts suggest that at least one of these decrees may be signed as early as January 20, which would serve as an important signal for the entire cryptocurrency community.

“I warned you all,” Robert Kiyosaki wrote after the crypto market crash
In 2013, in his book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad,” he warned of an impending stock market crash, which he said would be the largest in history. Now that this forecast is starting to come true, Kiyosaki is reminding us of his words again.
“I warned you all,” he says, emphasizing his confidence that the crisis is just around the corner. In his forecasts, he points to the decline of the auto, housing, restaurant, retail, and wine markets. These industries, in his opinion, will be the most vulnerable.
Last week, we witnessed a decline in the Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500 indices. The Nasdaq 100 lost 1.8%, and the S&P 500 - 1.1%. These figures only confirm that the market is in an unstable state. Moreover, the situation is aggravated by the decline of the crypto market.
Kiyosaki, as always, does not hide his concern and calls on everyone to be prepared for new challenges.

Fidelity Digital Assets anticipates significant growth this year
Analysts at Fidelity Digital Assets predict that by 2025, the inclusion of Bitcoin in the strategic reserves of some countries will trigger a powerful impulse for the entire crypto market.
Experts are confident that authorities will not be able to ignore the success of El Salvador and Bhutan, which have already made a bet on the first cryptocurrency. Abandoning the Bitcoin strategy could entail serious risks due to rising inflation and the decline in the value of national currencies.
According to the company’s report, governments may begin to secretly accumulate digital assets to safeguard their reserves.
Additionally, Fidelity Digital Assets highlights several other trends for 2025. Among them are the development of structured crypto assets and tokenization, which promise to change approaches to investing and asset management.

Update on the eesee project.
I have repeatedly told you about the project. The project is becoming more and more attractive, being in trading in the top 1 rating on CMC (coin market cap).
The project is keeping up with trends and therefore is launching its own AI agent ONLY for token holders, which increases the value of the coin and the prospects of the project itself.
It is also known that the AI agent will have additional utility to the main token #ESE.
I bought into the project a long time ago and bought more. For now, I'm waiting for a target of $0.1, after which I will think about subsequent actions 🔥🔥🔥
The project has already given two x's since my first post about it, and I think this is far from the limit.

Peter Schiff Continues His Negative Comments on Bitcoin
One of the commenters on X asked Peter why he hates Bitcoin so much, and he replied:
"It's not that I hate Bitcoin itself. I hate the speculative mania for Bitcoin, which has led to a massive redistribution of wealth, which will cause millions of people to lose amounts of money far greater than they can afford, and which will tarnish the image of sound money and libertarian principles."
He also suggested that MSTR will soon collapse. Peter believes that the US government will not buy Bitcoin, which will lead to massive selling of Bitcoin by investors.
"Saylor will be forced to accelerate his leveraged Bitcoin purchases to prevent a collapse. But this will only delay it until MSTR collapses first," Schiff said.

Long-term investors continue to accumulate their holdings
As the price of Bitcoin has risen to above $100,000, there has been a “slight” increase in the number of coins held by investors who have been holding them for a long time, according to Axel Adler Jr., a cryptocurrency data scientist and author of CryptoQuant.
“This suggests that coins purchased by short-term investors less than 155 days earlier have been transferred to long-term holders,” he explained. “Typically, such transfers occur when there are significant price changes, and investors lock in profits by moving assets into longer-term positions.”
Analysts and experts suggest that the transfer of coins to long-term investors may be related to expectations of further growth in the price of Bitcoin.

🚀 The US monetary policy will trigger BTC growth in the first quarter of 2025
This was stated by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes.
💰 In his opinion, one of the main factors influencing the growth of the crypto market remains the influx of dollar liquidity.
He identified 2 sources of this liquidity 👇
⏺Decrease in reserves in the reverse repo fund (RRP). The September decrease in RRP has already led to an influx of $2 trillion into the markets, supporting the growth of stocks and cryptocurrencies. In the 1st quarter, RRP may fall to nearly zero, adding another $237 billion in liquidity.
⏺Use of the US Treasury General Account (TGA). Due to the inability to increase public debt, the Treasury will spend funds from the TGA. This will also provide a positive momentum for liquidity.
The expert predicts that by March, $180 billion in liquidity will be removed from the market. This will lead to the market reaching a peak in mid to late March.

Ripple CEO Says $11 Billion Valuation Is Outdated
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says the $11 billion valuation is not accurate at this point, as he says Ripple currently has over $100 billion in assets.
Ripple, known for its ambitious plans, recently announced its intention to consider an IPO outside the United States. The company accused the US SEC of creating a “hostile” environment. However, with the arrival of a new administration in the United States, Ripple may reconsider its strategies and find more favorable conditions for development.
This moment was a turning point in Ripple’s fate, demonstrating its confidence and willingness to adapt to changing market conditions.
