This acquisition is part of Bit Digital&#8217;s strategy to expand its HPC data center footprint to 32MW during 2025.

The acquisition closed on <span class="xn-chron">December 27, 2024</span>. Bit Digital initially funded the purchase with cash on hand and is in the process of securing mortgage financing for both the site acquisition and subsequent infrastructure capex.   </p> <p>The Company expects to spend approximately CAD <span class="xn-money">$27.6 million</span> (approx. USD <span class="xn-money">$19</span>.3MM) to develop the site to Tier-3 standards with an initial gross load of 5MW. The site is expected to be completed and operational by May 2025. </p> <p><span class="xn-money">MTL2</span>, a 160,000 square feet site that was previously used as an encapsulation manufacturing facility, is located in Pointe-Claire, QC. Bit Digital plans to retrofit the site with advanced cooling technology, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling, which enhances energy efficiency and supports AI and other high-performance workloads with 150kW rack density. The Company is collaborating with third parties to implement a heat reject loop to further enhance the sustainability profile of the datacenter. The facility will be powered by 100% renewable hydroelectricity provided by Hydro-<span class="xn-location">Quebec</span>. Additionally, the site offers the potential to expand, enabling scalable growth aligned with market demand. </p> <p>Sam Tabar, Bit Digital&#8217;s CEO, commented: &#8220;This site acquisition marks an important step forward in our data center growth plans. This site is a Class A industrial property that was a former encapsulation manufacturing facility that included premium infrastructure specifications. It is located in one of the most desirable commercial real estate locations in <span class="xn-location">Montreal</span>. By leveraging the existing infrastructure, including over CAD <span class="xn-money">$750 thousand</span> worth of advanced HVAC equipment included in the purchase, we are able to lower our development costs and accelerate our time to market – a key advantage and core tenet of our development strategy. The development timeline aligns with the demands of a new customer that intends to fill the capacity with new generation Nvidia GPUs.</p> <p>We are in the process of securing cost-effective mortgage financing for this project which we intend to announce upon finalization.

A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than <span class="xn-chron">January 17</span>, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.</p> <p>Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over <span class="xn-money">$438 million</span> for investors. In 2020, founding partner <span class="xn-person">Laurence Rosen</span> was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs&#8217; Bar. Many of the firm&#8217;s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.</p> <p>Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, Defendant <span class="xn-person">Caitlyn Jenner</span> offered and sold $JENNER by means of written and oral communications which contained materially false and misleading statements, and omitted material facts necessary to make the statements not misleading, including but not limited to the following: (1) misrepresentations regarding the potential profitability, functionality, and value of $JENNER; (2) failing to disclose the risks associated with investing in $JENNER, including regulatory risks and potential lack of liquidity; (3) misleading statements about the project&#8217;s financial health, business prospects, and future growth opportunities; (4) Jenner&#8217;s and other insiders&#8217; own holdings and financial interests in the enterprise; and (5) false and misleading statements about getting $JENNER listed on centralized <span>cryptocurrency</span> exchanges (&#8220;CEXs&#8221;). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.</p> <p>To join the $JENNER class action, go to <a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=4330952-1&amp;h=1072452676&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fsubmit-form%2F%3Fcase_id%3D31137&amp;a=https%3A%2F%2Frosenlegal.com%2Fsubmit-form%2F%3Fcase_id%3D31137" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31137</a> or call <span class="xn-person">Phillip Kim, Esq.</span> toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email <a href="mailto:case@rosenlegal.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">case@rosenlegal.com</a> for information on the class action.</p> <p>No Class Has Been Certified.

  7. Asset Tokenization Revolutionizes Investments in 2025

    Fri, 27 Dec 2024 20:57:49 -0000

    asset Tokenization
    Asset tokenization, the process of creating digital representations of real-world assets on a blockchain, has emerged as a key trend in both traditional and crypto finance. As companies like BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Visa (NYSE:V), and Mastercard (NYSE:MA) adopt tokenization strategies, the technology promises to transform how assets are traded, managed, and utilized. Despite some challenges, asset … Continue reading "Asset Tokenization Revolutionizes Investments in 2025"

As companies like BlackRock (NYSE:BLK), Visa (NYSE:V), and Mastercard (NYSE:MA) adopt tokenization strategies, the technology promises to transform how assets are traded, managed, and utilized. Despite some challenges, asset tokenization is set to redefine the financial landscape by increasing liquidity, cutting costs, and enhancing efficiency.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Is Asset Tokenization?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asset tokenization involves converting physical or intangible assets—such as real estate, bonds, or art—into digital tokens stored on a blockchain. These tokens can represent ownership, simplify transactions, and make traditionally illiquid assets more accessible to investors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the idea of <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/state-street-and-taurus-collaborate-on-crypto-tokenization/">tokenization</a> has existed for years, its application has been limited. According to data tracker rwa.xyz, only 0.003% of the world’s assets have been tokenized. However, momentum is building as regulatory frameworks improve, and major institutions are exploring the technology&#8217;s potential.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institutional Adoption: A Game-Changer</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2024, BlackRock launched a tokenized money-market fund, signaling institutional confidence in the technology. Visa introduced a platform allowing banks to issue fiat-based tokens, and Mastercard partnered with JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) to settle cross-border transactions on the Kinexys blockchain platform. Kinexys processes $2 billion in daily transactions, showcasing blockchain&#8217;s capacity to handle large-scale financial operations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These moves are setting the stage for broader adoption. Boston Consulting Group predicts tokenized assets under management could exceed $600 billion by 2030, a massive leap from the current $2 billion.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Tokenization creates efficiency and opens new markets,” says Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard’s executive vice president of blockchain and digital assets.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benefits of Asset Tokenization</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asset tokenization offers numerous advantages:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Liquidity: By breaking assets into smaller, tradeable tokens, investors gain access to markets traditionally reserved for high-net-worth individuals or institutions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Reduced Costs: Blockchain reduces intermediaries, lowering transaction fees and operational expenses.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speed: Transactions settle faster, especially for cross-border deals.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Programmability: Smart contracts can automate processes like escrow or dividend payments, reducing counterparty risk.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rob Krugman, Chief Digital Officer at Broadridge, emphasizes tokenization&#8217;s transformative potential: “It may even be bigger than the internet. It’s fundamentally rethinking how markets work.”</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Risks and Concerns</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite its promise, asset tokenization presents risks. Poorly structured tokenization projects could lead to overpricing, investor exploitation, or exposure to security breaches.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nathan Allman, CEO of Ondo Finance, cautions: “Outside of Treasuries, there’s little value in tokenized public securities. Many projects distribute low-quality assets.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Additionally, tokenization may not suit all asset types. Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, questions its application to real estate, while Noelle Acheson, author of Crypto Is Macro Now, views tokenized private equity as “a solution looking for a problem.”</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulatory Shifts Pave the Way</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A supportive regulatory environment is crucial for tokenization&#8217;s growth. The U.S. under President-elect Donald Trump is expected to adopt a more favorable stance, encouraging innovation in blockchain-based financial products.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For instance, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is exploring guidelines for using tokenized assets as collateral, further legitimizing their role in mainstream finance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Charlie You, co-founder of rwa.xyz, observes: “Regulatory clarity is accelerating timelines. Companies are now making things happen.”</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Future Outlook</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As tokenization gains traction, the financial industry is poised for a transformative shift. While challenges remain, the combination of institutional adoption, regulatory clarity, and technological advancements signals a bright future.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Asset tokenization isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a movement reshaping how investors interact with markets. Whether it’s tokenized Treasuries, real estate, or art, the ability to fractionalize ownership and improve efficiency is unlocking new possibilities in finance.</span></p> <p><em>Featured Image: Freepik</em></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>
  8. Bitcoin Price Predictions for 2025: What to Expect

    The cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, with Bitcoin price predictions fueling investor enthusiasm. Bitcoin (BTCUSD) broke the $100,000 mark in 2024, driven by surging institutional demand and regulatory optimism.

    <figure><img width="696" height="464" src="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SL_0212121_40670_20-1.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="Bitcoin price" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SL_0212121_40670_20-1.jpg 696w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SL_0212121_40670_20-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://cryptocurrencynews.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SL_0212121_40670_20-1-336x223.jpg 336w" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 60vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px" /></figure><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, with Bitcoin price predictions fueling investor enthusiasm. Bitcoin (BTCUSD) broke the $100,000 mark in 2024, driven by surging institutional demand and regulatory optimism. As 2025 approaches, analysts and market participants are closely watching for clues about Bitcoin&#8217;s next big move.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Role of Regulation in Bitcoin’s Future</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A significant factor shaping Bitcoin’s future is regulatory clarity. The election of Donald Trump and crypto-friendly lawmakers has ignited optimism within the cryptocurrency sector. Trump has pledged to remove SEC Chair Gary Gensler and appoint crypto advocate Paul Atkins to lead the agency.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While these developments inspire hope, there’s uncertainty about how quickly comprehensive regulation will materialize. Castle Island Ventures Partner Nic Carter suggests that stablecoin legislation will take precedence, followed by a crypto market structure bill to clarify whether assets are securities or commodities.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The regulatory environment could profoundly influence Bitcoin price predictions, with a clear framework likely to attract more institutional investors. However, as Sarah Brennan of Delphi Ventures notes, Trump&#8217;s stance on decentralized finance (DeFi) remains inconsistent, adding an element of unpredictability.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin’s Price Potential: $200,000 by 2025?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Analysts have issued bold forecasts for Bitcoin&#8217;s price trajectory in 2025. Bitwise projects Bitcoin could reach $200,000, while VanEck estimates a more conservative $180,000. These predictions hinge on continued institutional adoption and the lasting impact of the 2024 Bitcoin halving event, which reduced the supply of new coins entering circulation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin&#8217;s finite supply—capped at 21 million coins—is a key driver behind these optimistic projections. With 19.79 million coins already in circulation, scarcity continues to push demand.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institutional interest further bolsters these predictions. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $36 billion in investments, and corporations like MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) hold significant Bitcoin reserves. As of December 2024, MicroStrategy owned 444,262 BTC, worth approximately $42 billion.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite these bullish trends, historical patterns suggest caution. Bitcoin operates on a four-year halving cycle, typically leading to market corrections. However, economist Alex Kruger believes <a href="https://www.cryptoglobe.com/latest/2024/12/bitcoin-is-highly-likely-in-a-supercycle-says-prominent-macro-economist-alex-kruger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bitcoin is in a &#8220;supercycle,&#8221;</a> characterized by smaller corrections of 20%-40%, rather than the drastic 85% drawdowns seen in the past.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Macro Factors That Could Impact Bitcoin</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">External economic conditions remain a wildcard for Bitcoin’s performance in 2025. The Federal Reserve’s decision to slow interest rate cuts could dampen Bitcoin’s appeal compared to traditional assets like Treasury bonds. High Treasury yields might divert investor capital away from riskier assets, including Bitcoin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nonetheless, Bitcoin&#8217;s established role as &#8220;digital gold&#8221; could insulate it from broader economic headwinds. Its decentralized nature and growing institutional backing position it as a hedge against inflation and economic instability.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Will Altcoins Follow Bitcoin’s Lead?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Bitcoin has dominated the cryptocurrency narrative, questions remain about the fate of altcoins. The Bitcoin Dominance Index, which measures Bitcoin&#8217;s share of the total crypto market, has reached new highs, suggesting Bitcoin continues to outpace its peers.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Financial institutions are exploring ETFs for assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum (ETHUSD), including XRP (XRPUSD). However, it’s uncertain whether these altcoins will enjoy the same level of enthusiasm. Seth Ginns of CoinFund notes that Bitcoin&#8217;s dominance has historically been cyclical, with altcoins gaining traction only after Bitcoin significantly surpasses its previous highs.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The year 2025 promises to be pivotal for Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. With <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/bitcoin-price-levels-to-watch/">Bitcoin price</a> predictions ranging from $180,000 to $200,000, the stage is set for significant developments. Institutional interest, regulatory clarity, and macroeconomic factors will play crucial roles in determining whether Bitcoin achieves these ambitious milestones.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Bitcoin leads the charge, the fate of altcoins and the broader crypto market remains uncertain. As investors navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, the focus will remain on how regulation and institutional adoption reshape the cryptocurrency ecosystem.</span></p> <p><i>Featured Image:  Freepik © starline</i></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>

BTC and ETH&#8217;s realized volatility has increased, but short-term options haven&#8217;t adjusted to this change. This indicates that while spot prices are fluctuating, the options market is not fully reacting to these shifts, although BTC and ETH volumes have displayed slightly different patterns.</p> <p>With more than <span class="xn-money">$525 million</span> in BTC and ETH options contracts expiring on <span class="xn-chron">Dec 27</span>, 2024&#8217;s end-of-year options expiration looks set to be one of the biggest yet, yet expectations for volatility have remained subdued. The report highlights an unusual inversion in ETH&#8217;s volatility structure, but BTC has not mirrored the reaction. Additionally, a change in funding rates—sometimes turning negative as spot prices drop—signals a new market phase. Notably, BTC&#8217;s volatility structure has been less responsive to changes in spot prices, whereas ETH&#8217;s short-term options are exhibiting more noticeable fluctuations.</p> <p><b>Key Findings:</b></p> <p><b>BTC Options Expirations: </b></p> <p>In the past month, BTC&#8217;s realized volatility has been higher than implied volatility on three occasions, each time reaching a relatively calm equilibrium. Open interest in BTC options remains high, contributing to potential increased volatility as we near the end of the year.

The groundbreaking initiative on <span class="xn-chron">December 23</span> not only injects substantial new capital into GCL Energy Technology&#8217;s ambitious growth plans but also establishes a novel financing model for Chinese photovoltaic companies seeking to fund green projects internationally.</p> <div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpg4b77left" style="width: 100%;text-align: left"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt="GCL Energy Technology and Ant Digital Technologies Launch First Blockchain-Based RWA Project in Photovoltaic Industry" id="prnejpg4b77left" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2586830/1.jpg" title="GCL Energy Technology and Ant Digital Technologies Launch First Blockchain-Based RWA Project in Photovoltaic Industry"></img></div> <p>RWA represents a transformative approach to asset management, where physical assets are digitized as tokens on the blockchain, enhancing liquidity and market accessibility. For this inaugural issuance, GCL Energy Technology has tokenized two strategically significant solar power plants in <span class="xn-location">Hunan</span> and <span class="xn-location">Hubei</span>, with a combined capacity of approximately 82MW, to spearhead this new financing frontier.</p> <p>As the core entity of <span class="xn-location">China&#8217;s</span> largest private power conglomerate, GCL (Group) Holdings Co., Ltd., GCL Energy Technology is at the forefront of integrating clean energy production with comprehensive energy services and advanced digital operations. The company has significantly expanded its renewable energy footprint, with its total installed capacity reaching 5976.36 megawatts as of <span class="xn-chron">September 30, 2024</span>, and renewable sources constituting 57.81% of this capacity.

By integrating cutting-edge artificial intelligence, blockchain, and IoT technologies, the project packages and stores operational and revenue data on the blockchain. This dual-chain and one-bridge architecture has garnered strong backing from prominent global investors, reinforcing RWA&#8217;s role as a pivotal green finance tool that underscores the company&#8217;s commitment to sustainable development and transparency.</p> <p>The move not only bolsters GCL Energy Technology&#8217;s global ESG credentials but also strengthens its position in the international market, aligning investor interests with the burgeoning demand for environmentally responsible, low-carbon investments. Looking ahead, GCL Energy Technology remains dedicated to leading the charge in renewable energy, with a strategic focus on leveraging data to drive innovation across the sector and foster a transparent, effective ESG ecosystem.</p> <p>During the issuance event, Ant Digital Technologies emphasized that industries are increasingly adopting renewable energy and sustainable assets to drive sustainable growth, and its partnership with GCL Energy Technology aims to better support this trend.

  13. Crypto Hedge Funds Face Banking Challenges

    crypto Hedge Funds
    A new survey highlights an alarming trend: crypto hedge funds are struggling to access basic banking services. The findings, released by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) in its report The Debanking Dilemma, reveal that three-quarters of the 160 crypto hedge funds surveyed reported significant banking challenges over the past three years. In stark contrast, … Continue reading "Crypto Hedge Funds Face Banking Challenges"

The findings, released by the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) in its report The Debanking Dilemma, reveal that three-quarters of the 160 crypto hedge funds surveyed reported significant banking challenges over the past three years. In stark contrast, none of the 20 traditional hedge funds surveyed experienced similar issues.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This stark disparity raises questions about potential targeting of the cryptocurrency sector, sparking outrage and demands for clarity within the industry.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Operation Chokepoint 2.0 in Action</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The term “Operation Chokepoint 2.0” has gained traction as crypto hedge funds and related businesses face growing barriers to financial services. This phenomenon draws parallels to the original “Operation Choke Point,” a controversial regulatory program initiated in 2013 by the U.S. Department of Justice.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The original Operation Choke Point aimed to limit banking access for industries deemed &#8220;high risk,&#8221; such as payday lenders and ammunition merchants. Though largely inactive by 2017, the regulatory strategy has seemingly been revived, this time targeting cryptocurrency.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a 2023 report by law firm Cooper &amp; Kirk, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) initiated the first wave of Operation Chokepoint 2.0 in late 2021, issuing guidance that curtailed banks’ involvement with cryptocurrency businesses.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Industry Leaders Call for Transparency</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crypto industry is fighting back. Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer at Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), voiced his frustration on X, formerly Twitter, stating, “Why would three-quarters of crypto hedge funds report issues with basic banking services over three years when zero were reported by other hedge funds? We need answers, now.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coinbase, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, has taken an active role in challenging these regulatory practices, calling for fair treatment and transparency.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Divided Political Landscape</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As regulatory pressures mount, the upcoming U.S. presidential election could play a pivotal role in determining the future of Operation Chokepoint 2.0. Pro-crypto voices, including Donald Trump, have vowed to end the practice if elected.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During his keynote at the Bitcoin Conference in July, Trump declared, “I will immediately shut down Operation Chokepoint 2.0. They want to choke you out of business, and we’re not going to let that happen.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, the Biden administration continues to support enhanced oversight of the crypto sector, citing concerns over fraud, money laundering, and systemic risk.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Road Ahead for Crypto Hedge Funds</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The survey findings underscore the urgent need for dialogue between the crypto industry, regulators, and policymakers. Without access to reliable banking services, crypto hedge funds may face operational difficulties that hinder growth and innovation.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/hedge-funds-reenter-crypto/">crypto hedge funds</a>, building relationships with alternative financial service providers and advocating for regulatory clarity may be key strategies to navigate these challenges. As the industry grows, the demand for equitable banking services remains a central concern.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crypto industry’s ability to overcome these obstacles will likely depend on how effectively it can unify its voice to demand change and counter the effects of Operation Chokepoint 2.0.</span></p> <p><em>Featured Image: Freepik</em></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>

    As President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office on January 20, 2025, the cryptocurrency industry is eagerly awaiting his promised crypto policy overhaul.

Industry insiders are hoping Trump will use his first day in office to issue a series of executive orders that would dramatically reshape the regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies. These orders could lay the groundwork for a new era of crypto regulations, including measures to mainstream digital currencies like Bitcoin (BTC).</p> <h2>The Push for Crypto Regulations Reform</h2> <p>During his campaign, Trump made bold promises to become the &#8220;<a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/12/23/and-crypto-how-friendly-is-too-friendly/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crypto president</a>,&#8221; signaling his intent to foster growth within the cryptocurrency industry. As the US crypto industry faces regulatory uncertainty under the Biden administration, the push for reform has grown louder. Companies and stakeholders are now urging Trump to deliver on his campaign promise by signing executive orders that would introduce key changes to the industry’s structure.</p> <p>The primary goals are clear: creating a national Bitcoin stockpile, providing easier access to banking for crypto companies, and establishing a dedicated crypto council to ensure smooth industry operations. These initiatives, if realized, would serve as a foundational shift in how cryptocurrencies are integrated into the broader financial ecosystem.</p> <h2>Bitcoin Stockpile and Banking Access</h2> <p>Among the most anticipated changes is Trump’s proposed Bitcoin stockpile. The idea of creating a strategic reserve of Bitcoin has been gaining traction, with industry groups like the Bitcoin Policy Institute drafting a potential executive order to make this a reality. The draft order suggests that Bitcoin should be designated as a strategic asset, with the Treasury Secretary tasked with purchasing $21 billion worth of Bitcoin over a year to build a national reserve.</p> <p>This move would position the United States as a global leader in the cryptocurrency space, countering the rise of rival nations like China and Russia, which have also been exploring state-backed crypto reserves. According to Zack Shapiro, the Bitcoin Policy Institute’s head of policy, this initiative would ensure the US is well-positioned to capitalize on Bitcoin’s potential without falling behind its geopolitical competitors.</p> <p>Additionally, many crypto companies have long struggled to gain access to banking services due to regulatory concerns. Trump’s campaign rhetoric suggested he would take action to address these challenges. Crypto executives are hopeful that one of the first executive orders will ease restrictions on banks, allowing them to work with crypto firms more freely. While some experts warn that an executive order may not immediately change federal bank regulators&#8217; stance, it would provide important political cover for banks considering partnerships with crypto companies.</p> <h2>Creation of a Crypto Industry Council</h2> <p>Another major expectation from the crypto industry is the creation of a crypto council. Similar to past administrations’ creation of specialized councils for specific industries, this council would focus on issues related to cryptocurrency, helping shape regulatory frameworks and streamline industry development. The council would provide a platform for stakeholders to collaborate with the government on the future of crypto regulations.</p> <p>In his efforts to modernize the financial system, Trump may look to implement an executive order that revisits and redefines existing crypto regulations. According to financial expert Jonah Krane, it is possible that Trump will issue a directive urging agencies to review and update their rules to better suit the rapidly evolving crypto industry. This move would provide a clearer regulatory environment for crypto firms to operate in, potentially fostering greater innovation and investment.</p> <h2>Expectations for Trump’s Crypto Regulations</h2> <p>The cryptocurrency industry is optimistic about the potential for regulatory changes under a Trump administration. However, some executives caution that immediate, sweeping changes may be unlikely, as many regulations are shaped by independent agencies. Nevertheless, Trump’s administration could provide essential direction on crypto regulations and offer a roadmap for future legislative efforts.</p> <p>In the coming months, the crypto community will be closely watching as President Trump takes office and begins to fulfill his promises of becoming a champion for digital currencies. The anticipation surrounding potential executive orders on day one is high, and many within the industry hope that Trump will make good on his campaign commitment to position the US as a leader in the global crypto space.</p> <p><em>Featured Image: Freepik</em></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>

With its explosive debut and AI-driven DeFi ecosystem, CYBRO could challenge Ethereum&#8217;s (ETH) dominance in decentralized finance (DeFi) and beyond. Let’s dive into why this low-cap token is drawing attention from investors and blockchain enthusiasts alike.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">CYBRO’s Meteoric Rise: Post-Listing Surge</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The CYBRO token gained 260% within 24 hours of its listings on Gate.io and MEXC, climbing from $0.06 to $0.16. Trading volume soared to $15 million at its peak, underpinned by solid fundamentals and strong presale interest. Before its public debut, CYBRO raised $7 million during its presale, attracting nearly 20,000 early investors.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even after this impressive rally, <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/crypto-investment-trends-why-cybro-is-the-buzz/">CYBRO</a> remains a low-priced token with substantial growth potential. Analysts suggest it could climb another 500-600% in the medium term or, under ideal conditions, achieve a staggering 1100% surge.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What Sets CYBRO Apart?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CYBRO operates as a multichain DeFi platform on the Blast blockchain, integrating artificial intelligence to enhance user earnings and simplify decentralized investing. Here’s what makes CYBRO unique:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Staking Rewards: CYBRO holders can earn passive income by locking their tokens.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Airdrops and Bonuses: Cashback and loyalty rewards incentivize community engagement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Governance Opportunities: Holders with just 100 CYBRO tokens can join the <a href="https://cybro.io/en/governance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CYBRO DAO</a>, contributing to key decision-making processes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fee Savings: CYBRO users benefit from reduced transaction fees.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Future updates, including expanded AI-driven strategies and additional vaults, are set to further optimize DeFi investing. The CYBRO team’s ambitious roadmap, coupled with its promising performance, positions the token as a major player in the crypto market.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ethereum’s Established Ecosystem</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, remains a cornerstone of the blockchain world. Operating on a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, Ethereum powers an expansive decentralized application (dApp) ecosystem.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key features of Ethereum include:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Smart Contracts: A framework for building decentralized finance platforms, gaming applications, and NFTs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Layer 2 Solutions: Enhancements like Polygon (MATIC) and Arbitrum improve scalability and reduce transaction costs.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">ERC-20 Token Standard: Widely adopted for creating utility and governance tokens.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Ethereum has been pivotal in blockchain innovation, its scalability challenges and high transaction fees have opened the door for competitors like CYBRO to carve out market share.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why CYBRO Could Surpass Ethereum</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2024 bull run is reigniting interest in cryptocurrencies, but established assets like Ethereum may offer less dramatic short-term growth compared to emerging tokens like CYBRO. With its advanced AI-powered DeFi tools and user-focused features, CYBRO is gaining traction among retail investors and crypto whales alike.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Key factors driving CYBRO’s potential include:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">AI Integration: Automated yield aggregation maximizes investor returns.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">User Rewards: Unique staking and airdrop programs enhance the token’s appeal.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Transparency and Compliance: CYBRO prioritizes quality and regulatory adherence, crucial in an evolving market landscape.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CYBRO’s ability to address investor needs while scaling efficiently positions it as a formidable competitor to Ethereum in the coming years.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The CYBRO token represents the next wave of blockchain innovation, combining AI technology with a robust DeFi ecosystem. Its rapid post-listing growth and ambitious development roadmap suggest it could be a game-changer in the crypto space.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the market evolves, CYBRO’s rise underscores the shifting dynamics in decentralized finance. While Ethereum remains a dominant force, the emergence of tokens like CYBRO highlights the growing opportunities for innovation and investment in blockchain technology.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Investors eyeing the next big project should keep CYBRO on their radar, as it continues to gain momentum and redefine what’s possible in the crypto market.</span></p> <p>Investing early in projects like CYBRO could unlock significant gains, making it a compelling choice for forward-thinking crypto enthusiasts and investors worldwide.</p> <p><i>Featured Image:  Freepik © ojosujono96</i></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please see disclaimer</a></p>

    The crypto market is facing a significant downturn, shedding 4.4% in value to $3.36 trillion in the past 24 hours. This marks an 11% drop from its all-time high of $3.79 trillion just days ago. As cryptocurrencies continue their decline, investors are left wondering how deep the dive will go and what factors are driving … Continue reading "Crypto Market Decline: How Deep Will Bitcoin Dive?"

This marks an 11% drop from its all-time high of $3.79 trillion just days ago. As cryptocurrencies continue their decline, investors are left wondering how deep the dive will go and what factors are driving this volatility.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin Below $100K: A Bearish Signal?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has slipped below the critical $100K mark, stabilizing around $96K. Analysts point to $94.5K as a key support level; a breach could signal the end of a six-week uptrend. If Bitcoin falls below $92K by Friday or $93K by week’s end, it could dip under the 50-day moving average, strengthening the bearish outlook.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite these challenges, Bitcoin remains a focal point in the crypto market decline, with long-term investors cautiously optimistic about its recovery potential.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market Sentiment and Investor Behavior</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crypto market decline coincides with a shift in investor behavior. Glassnode, a blockchain analytics firm, reports that newer Bitcoin investors are cashing in on network profits, while long-term holders are distributing their coins. This pattern suggests the market may be entering the late stages of a bull run.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Such transitions are historically marked by heightened volatility and often lead to a deeper correction before stability returns.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mining Companies Double Down on Bitcoin</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Amid the downturn, major mining companies are increasing their Bitcoin reserves:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MARA Holdings acquired 15,574 BTC at an average price of ~$98,529 per coin, bringing its total holdings to 44,394 BTC.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hut 8 added 990 BTC to its reserves, now totaling 10,096 BTC, at an average price of $101,710 per coin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These investments reflect miners’ confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term value despite the current crypto market decline. Mining activity often serves as a bellwether for broader market sentiment, suggesting resilience in the face of short-term turbulence.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Policy and Regulatory Developments</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Global policies are playing a crucial role in shaping the crypto market. El Salvador’s agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) highlights the friction between national adoption of Bitcoin and international financial institutions.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In exchange for a $1.4 billion funding package, El Salvador pledged to mitigate risks associated with Bitcoin. The IMF has been critical of the country’s decision to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, urging the government to revoke its status and liquidate reserves.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This development underscores the challenges of integrating cryptocurrencies into traditional economic systems, adding another layer of uncertainty to the market.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Altcoin Insights: Solana’s Growth Amid the Slump</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While Bitcoin dominates headlines, altcoins like Solana (SOL) are quietly carving out a niche. Solana-based applications have generated over $365 million in commissions through November, including $106 million from the “meme-token factory” Pump.fun.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Solana’s ability to drive revenue during a market downturn reflects the growing importance of decentralized applications (dApps) and blockchain ecosystems in the broader crypto landscape.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s Next for the Crypto Market?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crypto market decline raises pressing questions about its trajectory. Key factors to watch include:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Support Levels for Bitcoin: Monitoring price movements around $94.5K and $92K will provide insights into market direction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institutional Investments: Continued accumulation by mining companies and institutional investors could stabilize the market.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Policy Developments: Regulatory clarity, particularly in regions like El Salvador, will influence investor confidence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Altcoin Performance: Innovations in blockchain ecosystems like Solana could offer growth opportunities even amid a bearish trend.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the short-term outlook appears challenging, long-term prospects remain promising for investors who weather the storm.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crypto market decline is a stark reminder of its inherent volatility. As Bitcoin struggles below $100K, investors face a mix of challenges and opportunities shaped by market sentiment, institutional activity, and global policy dynamics.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For those willing to navigate the uncertainty, the crypto market continues to offer potential for significant rewards, underscoring its position as a transformative force in global finance.</span></p> <p><em>Featured Image: Freepik</em></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>

  21. Trump’s Crypto Platform Sparks Controversy

    Donald Trump’s cryptocurrency venture, World Liberty Financial, has drawn significant attention with its recent token swap. On Wednesday, the platform exchanged $10 million worth of Coinbase Global Inc.’s (NASDAQ:COIN) wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) for WBTC, an alternative wrapped Bitcoin associated with crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. This move has raised questions about the platform’s strategy, Sun’s involvement, … Continue reading "Trump’s Crypto Platform Sparks Controversy"

On Wednesday, the platform exchanged $10 million worth of Coinbase Global Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:COIN) wrapped Bitcoin (cbBTC) for WBTC, an alternative wrapped Bitcoin associated with crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun. This move has raised questions about the platform&#8217;s strategy, Sun&#8217;s involvement, and the broader implications for the DeFi space.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Token Swap Highlights Ties to Justin Sun</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">World Liberty Financial, which positions itself as a DeFi lending platform, executed the swap through its official digital wallet. The transaction involved trading 103 cbBTC tokens for WBTC, marking a notable pivot in the platform’s holdings. Wrapped Bitcoin tokens, such as cbBTC and WBTC, are crucial for enabling Bitcoin holders to engage in decentralized finance on the Ethereum blockchain.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Justin Sun, a high-profile crypto entrepreneur and adviser to World Liberty Financial, distanced himself from the decision, stating, “This is their own financial choice; I have nothing to do with it.” Sun has been a controversial figure in the crypto world, most recently gaining attention for his $6.2 million purchase of a banana duct-taped to a wall at a Sotheby’s auction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sun’s $30 million investment in World Liberty Financial in November solidified his role as an adviser and helped Trump’s platform reach a financial threshold enabling it to generate profit.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Legal and Regulatory Backdrop</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The swap is the latest development in an ongoing conflict involving wrapped Bitcoin tokens. Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN), which launched cbBTC earlier this year, delisted WBTC, citing risks associated with Sun&#8217;s alleged control over the asset. BiT Global, the operator of WBTC and a partner of Sun, responded by suing Coinbase to prevent the delisting.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In a significant legal victory for Coinbase, a federal judge in California denied BiT Global’s request for a temporary restraining order to block the delisting. Coinbase maintained that Sun’s involvement posed “unacceptable risks” to its customers and the integrity of its exchange.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This legal backdrop underscores the complexities of the cryptocurrency landscape, where regulatory scrutiny and disputes over token control are common.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">World Liberty Financial’s Expanding Portfolio</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The token swap is part of a broader pattern of activity from World Liberty Financial. Last week, the platform acquired notable cryptocurrencies such as AAVE and LINK. Additionally, its wallets received approximately $250,000 worth of ONDO, a token issued by <a href="https://ondo.finance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ondo Finance</a>, which specializes in asset tokenization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the platform is yet to become operational, these acquisitions suggest an aggressive strategy to position itself as a key player in the DeFi market.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Implications for DeFi and Wrapped Bitcoin</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The swap between cbBTC and WBTC highlights a growing divide in the wrapped Bitcoin market. As a widely adopted wrapped Bitcoin token, WBTC has historically been a staple for Bitcoin integration into DeFi ecosystems. However, its association with Sun and related controversies have raised questions about its reliability and governance.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Coinbase’s cbBTC represents a newer entrant to the market, offering an alternative to WBTC. By distancing itself from Sun, Coinbase aims to provide a more transparent and secure wrapped Bitcoin option.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">World Liberty Financial’s decision to align with WBTC rather than cbBTC indicates a calculated risk, potentially betting on Sun’s influence to strengthen its market position. However, this move also exposes the platform to regulatory and reputational risks associated with Sun’s controversial history.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s Next for Trump’s Crypto Platform?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">World Liberty Financial’s activities have sparked curiosity and controversy in equal measure. With high-profile figures like Trump and Sun at its helm, the platform is uniquely positioned to make waves in the crypto industry.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, its success hinges on overcoming several challenges:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulatory Scrutiny: The platform must navigate the increasingly strict regulatory landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market Trust: Aligning with contentious figures like Sun may erode investor confidence.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Operational Launch: World Liberty Financial must transition from an active wallet to a fully operational DeFi platform to prove its viability.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bottom Line</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump’s crypto platform, World Liberty Financial, has taken a bold step with its $10 million token swap involving Justin Sun-associated WBTC. While the move positions the platform strategically in the DeFi space, it also invites scrutiny and controversy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the platform continues to build its portfolio and navigate legal challenges, its long-term success will depend on its ability to balance innovation with transparency and trust. Whether this latest move signals strength or a misstep remains to be seen in the evolving world of cryptocurrency.</span></p>

Investors were left scrambling as market leaders like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) saw dramatic price declines. This recent cryptocurrency market downturn has reignited concerns about the volatility of digital assets and their future trajectory.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin and Ethereum Take the Lead in Losses</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin (BTC), the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, fell 4.6%, slipping below the $100,000 mark to $98,877. Ethereum (ETH), the second-largest cryptocurrency, faced even steeper losses, plunging 9.02% to $3,511.78.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other major players also faced significant setbacks:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Binance Coin (BNB) dropped 6.05% to $670.68.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">XRP declined 7.66% to $2.29.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cardano (ADA) saw a dramatic 14.32% drop to $0.895.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even meme-inspired Dogecoin (DOGE) wasn’t spared, tumbling 17.49% to $0.318. Across the board, these losses have rattled investor confidence, prompting questions about the underlying causes of the decline.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market Sentiment Turns Bearish</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The cryptocurrency market downturn is being attributed to a combination of profit-taking by long-term holders and a shift in broader market sentiment. According to analysts, the sell-off triggered a wave of liquidations that exacerbated price drops.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Aave (AAVE), a prominent DeFi platform, experienced significant fallout from these liquidations, with its price declining over 6% in just a week. Reports show that approximately $5.13 million in positions were liquidated, further intensifying the bearish momentum.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This wave of liquidations reflects the high volatility of the cryptocurrency market, where small triggers can lead to large-scale declines.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s Driving the Cryptocurrency Market Downturn?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Several factors contributed to Thursday’s sharp decline:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Profit-Taking: After a year of strong performance, many investors likely decided to lock in gains, triggering sell-offs across the market.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Market Overextension: Rapid price increases in recent months may have led to overbought conditions, setting the stage for a correction.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Regulatory Concerns: Increased scrutiny from global regulators continues to weigh on investor sentiment, creating uncertainty about the market&#8217;s future.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Macroeconomic Factors: Broader economic instability, including inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions, has added pressure on risk assets like cryptocurrencies.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Looking Ahead: What Lies Ahead for Crypto?</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While the immediate outlook remains uncertain, analysts are divided on what comes next.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arthur Hayes, a prominent crypto analyst, <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/arthur-hayes-warns-of-crypto-market-downturn/">warns that January 2025</a> could bring further turbulence. Hayes has pointed to the political climate, including the upcoming inauguration of former U.S. President Donald Trump, is a potential catalyst for increased market volatility.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, some market participants remain optimistic.

  24. Arthur Hayes Warns of Crypto Market Downturn

    Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:33:09 -0000

    Crypto Market
    Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX and a macroeconomic strategist at Maelstrom, has issued a stark warning for crypto investors. He predicts significant turbulence in the crypto market around Donald Trump’s potential inauguration in January 2025. Hayes views this anticipated downturn as a short-term correction within the broader crypto bull market cycle. Crypto Crash Expected in … Continue reading "Arthur Hayes Warns of Crypto Market Downturn"

He predicts significant turbulence in the crypto market around Donald Trump’s potential inauguration in January 2025. Hayes views this anticipated downturn as a short-term correction within the broader crypto bull market cycle.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Crypto Crash Expected in January 2025</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to Hayes, the crypto market correction will likely occur near Trump’s inauguration date of January 20, 2025. Maelstrom, his investment firm, is preparing to scale back its exposure during this volatile period. Hayes plans to strategically reacquire key holdings at discounted prices during the first half of the year, positioning his portfolio for the next growth phase.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Many traders attempt to time the market but often sell too early and lack the confidence to reinvest at higher prices,” Hayes explained. “This behavior often results in missed opportunities during a bull market. By recognizing this risk, our team is prepared to adapt swiftly if the market defies expectations.”</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Trump’s Policies as a Volatility Catalyst</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hayes highlights Donald Trump’s anticipated return to the presidency as a significant catalyst for market instability. He believes Trump’s policies will expose structural weaknesses in the global financial system, ultimately bolstering Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptocurrencies as long-term investments.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Trump’s policies compel global leaders to address national economic challenges,” Hayes said. “Even before his potential return, these issues are reinforcing my conviction in the trajectory of financial repression and money printing.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">However, Hayes cautions that crypto investors may overestimate the speed at which Trump can enact transformative changes. He predicts the crypto market will soon recognize the limitations of Trump’s influence, particularly during his first year in office. This realization could trigger a sharp sell-off in cryptocurrencies and related equity trades.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Strategic Preparations for Crypto Market Volatility</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To navigate the anticipated volatility, Maelstrom is implementing a dual strategy. The firm plans to reduce exposure during the downturn while maintaining readiness to reenter positions when the crypto market stabilizes.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our approach reflects a commitment to buying both market dips and rallies,” Hayes said. “This strategy ensures we capture the full potential of the ongoing bull market.”</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hayes also emphasized the importance of flexibility in investment strategies, particularly during periods of heightened uncertainty. His outlook underscores the need for crypto investors to remain vigilant and adaptive to evolving market conditions.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Broader Implications for the Crypto Market</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hayes’ prediction aligns with broader trends in the cryptocurrency space. Major institutions, such as Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), have increasingly <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-quietly-transfers-765-million-164536555.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">integrated Bitcoin</a> into their balance sheets, signaling confidence in its long-term value. However, the sector remains highly susceptible to external events and policy changes, making strategic foresight essential for navigating market fluctuations.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hayes’ forecast serves as a reminder of the dynamic and unpredictable nature of the crypto market. While the anticipated downturn may cause short-term disruptions, it also presents opportunities for strategic investors to capitalize on discounted valuations.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Arthur Hayes’ warning of a crypto market downturn near Trump’s January 2025 inauguration highlights the intricate relationship between political events and <a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/market-news/slowing-inflation-signals-upside-for-crypto-markets/">market dynamics</a>. By recognizing the potential for short-term volatility and preparing accordingly, investors can position themselves to thrive in the evolving crypto landscape. As Hayes and his team demonstrate, adaptability and strategic planning are critical for navigating the challenges and opportunities within the digital asset space.</span></p> <p>The anticipated market correction and the broader implications for the crypto market underscore the importance of staying informed and adaptable in this fast-evolving space. Investors should carefully consider their strategy and timing in the months leading up to this significant event to maximize their gains and mitigate potential risks.</p> <p><em>Featured Image: Freepik @ produtizebro</em></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>
  25. Vancouver’s Push Towards Bitcoin Adoption

    The city of Vancouver is embarking on a bold journey to integrate Bitcoin into its financial strategies. Mayor Ken Sim’s recently approved motion proposes diversifying the city’s financial reserves and payment options by incorporating Bitcoin (BTC).

Mayor Ken Sim’s recently approved motion proposes diversifying the city’s financial reserves and payment options by incorporating Bitcoin (BTC). The motion reflects a growing global interest in digital currencies and their potential to provide stability amid economic volatility.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">A Comprehensive Analysis of Bitcoin’s Potential</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The approved motion tasks city staff with conducting a comprehensive analysis of Bitcoin’s potential integration. The document, titled “Pr<a href="https://council.vancouver.ca/20241211/documents/cfscA3.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">eserving the City’s Purchasing Power Through Diversification of Financial Reserves – Becoming A Bitcoin Friendly City</a>,” emphasizes the advantages of cryptocurrency. It highlights Bitcoin’s decentralized nature, capped supply, and growing acceptance as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The proposal also references cities like Zug and Lugano in Switzerland and El Salvador, which have embraced Bitcoin for payments and financial stability. These examples underline its role as an innovative financial tool for governments worldwide.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Benefits of Bitcoin Integration</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/investing-news/bitcoin-investment-basics-what-you-need-to-know/">Bitcoin</a> offers unique advantages, particularly in preserving purchasing power. According to the motion, traditional fiat currencies have struggled with inflation and volatility. By incorporating Bitcoin, Vancouver could enhance the resilience of its financial portfolio, potentially benefiting taxpayers by safeguarding the value of public funds.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the motion posits that Bitcoin’s use as a payment method for municipal services could streamline operations and align the city with digital financial trends. It also reflects growing institutional interest in Bitcoin as a long-term store of value, supported by its 16-year track record and evolving regulatory frameworks.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Addressing Environmental Concerns</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bitcoin mining, often criticized for its energy consumption, is framed as a potential environmental ally in the motion. Research cited indicates that Bitcoin miners frequently use surplus renewable energy, making renewable projects economically viable and stabilizing energy prices. This aspect aligns with Vancouver’s broader commitment to sustainability and decarbonization.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The motion also underscores Bitcoin mining’s role in global development, particularly in underdeveloped regions. By providing financial access and infrastructure, it creates significant social impacts, fostering economic growth and stability in areas that lack traditional banking systems.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vancouver’s Crypto Legacy</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vancouver’s history with cryptocurrency positions it as a leader in blockchain innovation. The city is home to numerous blockchain companies and was the site of the world’s first Bitcoin ATM, installed in 2013. These milestones underscore Vancouver’s ongoing commitment to fostering a crypto-friendly environment.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Challenges and Next Steps</span></h2> <p>While the motion outlines numerous benefits, challenges remain. Bitcoin’s price volatility, regulatory complexities, and public skepticism could pose hurdles to its adoption. The city’s analysis will need to address these issues comprehensively to ensure successful implementation.</p> <p>As Vancouver explores these opportunities, its decision could set a precedent for other cities seeking innovative financial strategies. If successful, this initiative could cement Vancouver’s position as a global leader in cryptocurrency adoption and innovation. Additionally, it could open the door for other municipalities to adopt similar frameworks, promoting widespread financial modernization.</p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Institutional Interest and Global Trends</span></h2> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Major institutions and investors increasingly recognize Bitcoin’s potential. Companies such as Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) have added the crypto to their balance sheets, demonstrating confidence in its long-term value. Vancouver’s exploration mirrors this trend, aiming to align the city’s financial strategies with global shifts in digital finance.</span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Conclusion</span></h2> <p>Vancouver’s initiative to integrate Bitcoin into its financial framework highlights its commitment to innovation and sustainability. By addressing challenges and leveraging opportunities, the city could pave the way for broader adoption of cryptocurrencies in municipal governance. With its rich history of blockchain innovation and forward-thinking leadership, Vancouver is poised to lead the charge in the digital financial revolution. The city’s actions could inspire global cities to explore Bitcoin’s potential for enhancing financial resilience and operational efficiency.</p> <p><i>Featured Image: Freepik</i></p> <p><a href="https://cryptocurrencynews.com/disclaimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Please See Disclaimer</a></p>

It has also been a fruitful year for HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, which supported a total of 28 leading crypto projects and funds, continually exploring new frontiers of crypto utility. Recently, HTX Ventures released its <i><u><a href="https://square.htx.com/htx-ventures-2024-year-in-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2024 Year In Review</a></u></i>, highlighting this year&#8217;s key developments in the crypto industry and forecasting market trends for the upcoming year.</p> <p>Within this report, HTX Ventures highlighted five key sectors that showed encouraging progress in 2024 – the Bitcoin Ecosystem, Infrastructure, Meme Coins, AI, and the TON Ecosystem – and will continue to closely monitor these areas in 2025.</p> <div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpg1419left" style="width: 100%;text-align: left"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt=" " id="prnejpg1419left" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2582735/image_838145_7129931.jpg" title=" "></img></div> <p><b>Bitcoin Ecosystem</b></p> <p>With Bitcoin dominance reaching 56.81% and Bitcoin spot ETFs now accounting for 5.3% of the total Bitcoin supply, a new market trend has emerged. Bitcoin has solidified its position as the core asset, with spot ETFs acting as liquidity channels, and U.S. listed companies such as MicroStrategy (MSTR) serving as the vehicles to absorb unlimited dollar liquidity.</p> <p>As a result, it is increasingly essential to further develop Bitcoin&#8217;s ecosystem and enhance capital utilization efficiency. It has driven infrastructure projects, including Layer 2s, execution layers, interoperability solutions and security layers, to continuously emerge.</p> <p>With strong support from macro markets and infrastructure support, HTX Ventures anticipates a further surge in Bitcoin demand over the next two years.</p> <p><b>Infrastructure</b></p> <p>Infrastructure remained a cornerstone in this year&#8217;s crypto investments and funding. The synergy between capital and technology has driven the rapid development of Layer 1, Layer 2,  and middleware projects, among others.</p> <p>Through ongoing upgrades and construction, the Ethereum ecosystem has improved Layer 2s&#8217; performance and reduced network fees. Other Layer 1s, such as Solana and TRON, achieved active on-chain transactions, attributable to the development of meme coins, and infrastructure like Pump.fun and Sunpump. Layer 0 and cross-chain middleware have made breakthroughs in interoperability, expanding the multi-chain landscape. Modular public blockchains, like Celestia and Monad, offered exceptional performance and flexibility, thus attracting diverse applications. Restaking projects, which aim to enhance network security and capital efficiency, has seen speedy development and gained market attention. Bitcoin Layer 2 has emerged as a new focus in the primary market for its attempt to combine Bitcoin&#8217;s security with high-performance scaling solutions.</p> <p>As HTX Ventures stated, infrastructure is still imperative in this year&#8217;s crypto investments and funding. Layer 1 solutions, in particular, now represent the focal point of technical development and exploration within the crypto space, and it is expected to remain a priority for development resources and capital investment in the future.</p> <p><b>Meme Coins</b></p> <p>The Meme coin sector emerged as a hotspot in the crypto market in 2024, fostering community consensus while integrating with fields like DeFi and GameFi to create new use cases. For example, Solana has actively championed the innovation and growth of meme projects, successfully energizing its ecosystem. As the crypto market environment grows increasingly favorable, more retail investors are expected to enter the market, positioning Meme projects as vital channels for capital inflows.</p> <p>The Meme coin fair launch sector has gained significant market attention and attracted substantial participants this year. Infrastructure projects such as Pump.fun and SunPump have emerged as top-performing cash flow generators, injecting fresh momentum into Meme coin development. As multi-chain ecosystems mature and real-world use cases expand, Meme coin infrastructure will continue injecting more vitality into this sector.</p> <p><b>AI</b></p> <p>In 2024, the intersection of Crypto and AI sector has been driving the exploration of several segmented fields such as ZK/OPML for enabling AI on-chain, AI data crowdsourcing, decentralized computing power rental, AI data trading, AI games, and AI agents.</p> <p>One of the hottest segmented fields is AI agents, which are put on chains to take advantage of the token mechanism to incentivise and bootstrap certain behaviors with the agents, including interacting with smart contracts, trading and querying on behalf of users. In the future, AI agents will gradually become personal butlers and assistants for users, serving them with comprehensive capabilities, such as independent asset issuance, initiation of viral marketing campaigns, formation of DAOs, and even fund management and investment decision-making. Over time, they may develop unique cultures and religions. This deep integration of AI and encryption technology is a groundbreaking evolution that is unattainable within Web2 and cannot be achieved by Web3 relying solely on encryption technology.</p> <p><b>TON Ecosystem</b></p> <p>Attributable to Telegram&#8217;s hundreds of millions of users and robust technical support, the TON (The Open Network) ecosystem has progressively developed into a multi-layered blockchain ecosystem. In 2024, it experienced a full-scale boom in its ecosystem and market presence. From DeFi and meme coins to NFTs and gaming, TON leveraged its massive user base to achieve significant milestones in various fields, pioneering the monetization of Web2 social applications through crypto.</p> <p>One standout success was the adoption of &#8220;tap-to-earn&#8221; games with token airdrop incentives, which effectively onboarded a large number of Web2 users. However, as the TON ecosystem moves into 2025, it must explore and find new business models to improve user retention and identify its next growth curve.</p> <p><b>2025 Outlook</b></p> <p><span class="xn-person">Donald Trump&#8217;s</span> expected repeal of SAB 121 after his inauguration on <span class="xn-chron">January 20, 2025</span>, would allow traditional financial institutions to hold crypto assets on their balance sheets, further accelerating the institutionalization of crypto assets. The repeal will not only open up more financing options for crypto but also make spot cryptos more accessible through existing institutional exchanges and partnerships.</p> <p>At the same time, this regulatory easing is poised to enhance the overall maturity of the institutional crypto market. With the entry of traditional financial institutions, Bitcoin is anticipated to gain stronger support and gradually establish itself as a core dollar-denominated asset, alongside others tied to the dollar industry cycles, such as AI.</p> <p>HTX Ventures points out that the market is still far from its bull market peak. Against the backdrop of Trump&#8217;s fiscal expansion policies and unprecedented crypto-friendly signals, a robust bull market is expected.</p> <p>To learn more, please visit: <a href="https://square.htx.com/htx-ventures-2024-year-in-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://square.htx.com/htx-ventures-2024-year-in-review/</a></p> <div dir="ltr" id="prni_dvprnejpg539eleft" style="width: 100%;text-align: left"><img decoding="async" align="middle" alt=" " id="prnejpg539eleft" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2391903/image_ID__Logo.jpg" title=" "></img></div> <p><b>About HTX Ventures</b></p> <p>HTX Ventures, the global investment division of HTX, integrates investment, incubation, and research to identify the best and brightest teams worldwide.
