You always hear about the guy who made $100K by betting $100. You never hear about those who risked thousands and are left with nothing. Out of 40,000+ coins analyzed over the past 10 years, only 1.7% delivered a 100x return!

Here’s the hard truth about investing: You always hear about the guy who made $100K by betting $100. You never hear about those who put in thousands and are left with nothing. All of us have at least once wished we had made a similar play to the one that turned $17 into ~6M. More than 2.1 million people right now are trying to find the next crypto moonshot. Even the CEO of Coinbase is touting how if someone had bought $100 Bitcoin when Coinbase was founded, it would be worth $1.5 million today. With all that’s going on, what’s the actual probability of getting a 100x return on your investment in the crypto world? What are the odds that you will lose 100% of your investment? Of the more than 40,000 coins that traded in an exchange at least once in the last 10 years, only 38% are still alive. So forget about making a profit — the probability that the coin you buy will survive over the long run is only ~ 1 in 3. Total number of coins: 40,399 | Source: Market Sentiment Research, CoinGecko What about 100’xing your investment? While there are probably hundreds (even thousands) of coins that might have 100’xed in value during their brief existence (like the Hawk Tuah coin), it’s unrealistic to expect to find them and invest in them before someone rug pulls them out of existence. To get a more realistic scenario, we kept a minimum market cap limit of $10 Million and required the coin to be present in the top 100 coins based on market cap. The backtest is simple — At the beginning of every month (starting in 2014), we check what the top 100 most popular coins were and the probability that you would have 100’xed your investment if you held on to that coin (data here). In the last 10 years, there were a total of 9,502 coins that fit our criteria. Out of these, only 442 (4.6%) grew more than 100x. This assumes that you sold at the very top. If you had held on to these coins to date, the number drops to 160. So, over the holding period, the chance that you 100’xed your investment on a coin is only 1.7%. If you remove the duplicates (as the same coin can come up in our filter in different months), of the 460 cryptocurrencies that made it into the list, only 38 (8%) grew more than 100x. If you held on till 2024, only 8 coins (1.7%) provided you with a 100x return. If you are calculating the expected value and think that you will come out ahead (given you have a ~2% chance of 100x returns), you must read our research on Kelly Criterion. For those who are determined to try to win, here are a few things to consider: Be aware of the odds — The chance of you hitting a 100x return on your meme coin investment is less than 1 in 50. To put this in perspective, it’s like picking a specific card out of a shuffled deck of cards on your first try! Spread your bets — The best way to improve your odds of winning is to survive. You can reduce your risk and improve your returns by diversifying and making smart bet sizes. submitted by /u/nobjos [link] [comments]

What is your favorite crypto coin that has great utility AND a great community?

I’m genuinely curious what are the most popular crypto projects and communities out there that check the boxes of having great utility along with a great community with bullish sentiment. This does not include bitcoin. I want to start getting involved long term in a project or two as an investor and want to see what the community thinks are some great projects (either top 100 or moonshots). I’ve done some research but there are so many it can easily become overwhelming. I’m interested in what people are saying and HODLing. submitted by /u/themindfulnow [link] [comments]

10 predictions about the Crypto market for the year 2025 from Bitwise.

Bitwise, world’s leading crypto index fund manager has published a detailed predictions report for the year 2025. They’ve made 10 ( bullish) predictions on this report: 1) Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana will hit new all-time highs, with Bitcoin trading above $200,000 ( ETH : 7000$ , SOL: 750$ ) 2) Bitcoin ETFs will attract more flows in 2025 than they did in 2024. 3) Coinbase will surpass Charles Schwab as the most valuable brokerage in the world, and its stock will top $700 per share. 4) 2025 will be the “Year of the Crypto IPO,” with at least five crypto unicorns going public in the U.S. 5) Tokens launched by AI agents will spearhead a memecoin mania even bigger than in 2024. 6) The number of countries holding bitcoin will double. 7) Coinbase will enter the S&P 500 and MicroStrategy will enter the Nasdaq-100, adding crypto exposure to (nearly) every U.S. investor’s portfolio. 8) The U.S. Department of Labor will relax its guidance against crypto in 401(k) plans, enabling billions of dollars to flow into crypto assets. 9) Stablecoin assets will double to $400 billion as the U.S. passes long-awaited stablecoin legislation. 10) The value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will surpass $50 billion as Wall Street’s embrace of crypto intensifies. Detailed report with data & charts that shows how they’ve reached these conclusions: https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/static.bitwiseinvestments.com/Research/Bitwise-The-Year-Ahead-10-Crypto-Predictions-for-2025.pdf Opinions ?

ALGO market cap is 3.6B, the same as in 10 April 2021. But the price is $0.44 against $1.4

Dilution is one helluva drug. Same marketcap, but almost 70% price differences. This is the market cap chart from 2021. I picked 10 April because it has the same market cap as today: https://preview.redd.it/b37e8y6db86e1.png?width=1036&format=png&auto=webp&s=9e66896afbba5ee75d33c39b26c6f30bbe17c1e3 As you see, the ALGO's market cap today is very close to that amount: https://preview.redd.it/mcogbgnrb86e1.png?width=549&format=png&auto=webp&s=6e1cefbf4a5d84d39ef1765e21b928a2603b542d To reach the same price as back then, ALGO needs to go up by 300%+ to 11.7B marketcap. Holders got dumped on by the ALGO foundation and VCs. This is the same case with a lot of other VC coins from 2021 like LDO and many others. Which is why people are avoiding the new low-float high-FDV scams this cycle. Inflation is good in moderate amount, but not this much. submitted by /u/noviwu97 [link] [comments]

I bought $1k of the Top 10 Cryptos on January 1st, 2024 (NOV Update/Month 11/+110%)

EXPERIMENT - Tracking 2024 Top Ten Cryptocurrencies – Month Eleven - Up +110% Find the full blog post with all the tables and graphs here. The 2024 Top Ten Experiment features BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, and DOT. SNAPSHOTS ALWAYS TAKEN ON FIRST OF THE MONTH (data below reflects 1 DECEMBER Snapshot). tl;dr What's this all about? I purchased $100 of each of Top 10 Cryptos in Jan. 2018, haven't sold or traded, reporting monthly for nearly 7 years on Reddit for your reading pleasure. Did the same in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. Learn more about the history and rules of the Experiments (including why I would include stablecoins) here. Learn more about the features in the 2024 Top Ten Experiment here. NOVEMBER Highlights: Everything was a highlight, this was a fun report to put together. XRP and ADA owned November. Top Ten Portfolio reaches an All Time High. YTD: DOGE dethrones BNB. Last place so far in 2024 is AVAX (+6%) YTD: the 2024 Top Ten portfolio shoots past S&P500 +110% to +27%. DCA'ing once a year into Top Ten Cryptos for the last 7 years --> Top Ten +366% vs S&P500's +75%. Update on the friendly competition between Top Ten Portfolio and total market cap token AMKT: for the first time in two years, my Top Ten (+110%) pulls ahead of the Alongside Crypto Market Index Token (AMKT), which is YTD +88%. Month Eleven – Up +110% https://preview.redd.it/6myest6uw76e1.png?width=978&format=png&auto=webp&s=4429c9b5dec9a2c4313a57f73d82c225404aec51 The 2024 Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Portfolio is BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, XRP, ADA, AVAX, DOGE, DOT. November highlights for the 2024 Top Ten Portfolio: XRP and ADA have a very, very good month All cryptos in the positive territory YTD. DOGE rockets into first place overall, XRP is second, BTC in third. AVAX in last place The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio is up +100% in one month, +110% in 2024. November Ranking and Dropouts Here’s a look at the movement in the ranks eleven months into the 2024 Top Ten Index Fund Experiment: https://preview.redd.it/3thsg8cww76e1.png?width=333&format=png&auto=webp&s=36233f901c12211a3a4d3a1d3f364493f49643cb For such a busy year in crypto, not a ton of movement in the Top Ten in 2024. November Winners and Losers November Winners – XRP (+319%) outperformed its peers by far this month followed by ADA (+222%) and DOGE (+172%) November Losers – Although up +13%, BNB gained the least this month. Overall Update: DOGE flips BNB for first place. 100% of cryptos in positive territory. AVAX in last place. What a difference a month makes: 100% of the Top Ten are in positive territory now, up from just 60% in the green in October. Over the last few months, DOGE (+375% YTD) has been on a tear, moving from third to first since September. XRP’s strong November landed it in second place (+241%) followed distantly third place BTC (+117%). Eleven months into the 2024 Experiment AVAX is now in last place, up +6% since New Year’s Day. The initial $100 invested in first place DOGE eleven months ago is worth $475 today. Overall return on $1,000 investment since January 1st, 2024 https://preview.redd.it/1ho0yboxw76e1.png?width=303&format=png&auto=webp&s=3a2fd12cbcc9810baf34bd65a711d004d4d572fe The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio gained $987 in November. The initial $1000 investment on New Year’s Day 2024 is now worth $2,100, an All Time High for the Portfolio. Here’s a visual summary of the progress so far: https://preview.redd.it/39no93syw76e1.png?width=214&format=png&auto=webp&s=fcc21b9550edf8af30dfd9dda2e3c2e9c4f05aec 2024 Top Ten Portfolio vs. The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token (AMKT) The first Top Ten Crypto Experiment was started on 1 January 2018 in an attempt to capture the gains of the entire market, similar to the “lazy” approach of the Bogleheads in traditional markets. Much has changed over the last 7 years, including the introduction of index products designed to capture the entire crypto market (instead of manually buying coins and tokens like I do for my Experiments). Like last year, I’m running a friendly competition between The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio and The Alongside Crypto Market Index Token (AMKT). AMKT is an ERC-20 token that represents a cap weighted index of 15 Cryptocurrencies (minus stablecoins) backed 1:1 by the underlying assets represented within the index and completely onchain. Similar to the Boglehead Community, a Do Nothing Club has emerged encouraging a long-term “lazy” crypto investing approach. Since the index represents approximately 95% of the value within crypto, AMKT is an excellent proxy for the entire cryptocurrency market – exactly what my Top Ten Portfolios have been trying to recreate from the start. Here’s the question I’ll be tracking this year: would I have been better off with $1,000 of AMKT instead of going through the effort of creating a homemade $1,000 Top Ten Index Fund? On 1 January 2024, $1000 was equal to 7.2 AMKT. Eleven months into the Experiment, here’s the AMKT snapshot: https://preview.redd.it/59ks6if0x76e1.png?width=777&format=png&auto=webp&s=f77732246c255b4b3925223c7afe33b8182d80ba November Performances: The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio: +89% AMKT: +34% The November monthly victory goes to: The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio Overall since January 1st, 2024: The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio: +110% AMKT: +88% Overall lead: The 2024 Top Ten Portfolio A very interesting month for indexooors. Experiment followers may notice that this is the first month in two years that the Top Ten Portfolio has taken the overall lead from AMKT and the first month the Top Ten has held both the monthly and the overall victory columns. This is undoubtedly because of the outsized gainz of both ADA and XRP in November which are each purchased at an even distribution model (10% each) in my Experiment vs. the market cap weighted approach of AMKT. As much as I’d like to flex, I predict my outperformance will be short lived, given the data from the last two years and the fact that AMKT is coming up on its quarterly rebalancing soon. For the more visual, here’s the table I’m using to track the friendly Top Ten vs. AMKT competition this year: https://preview.redd.it/r2z6w362x76e1.png?width=823&format=png&auto=webp&s=0de3c67df1c4c31115faf8cc387e2b1681d259ff Combining the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Top Ten Crypto Portfolios So, where do we stand if we combine seven years of the Top Ten Crypto Index Fund Experiments? 2018 Top Ten Experiment: up +79% (total value $1,789) 2019 Top Ten Experiment: up +756% (total value $8,559) 2020 Top Ten Experiment: up +999% (total value $10,994) (best performing portfolio) 2021 Top Ten Experiment: up +369% (total value $4,694) 2022 Top Ten Experiment: down -1% (total value $991) (worst performing portfolio) 2023 Top Ten Experiment: up +248% (total value $3,483) 2024 Top Ten Experiment: up +110% (total value $2,100) Taking the seven portfolios together: After a $7,000 total investment in the 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 Top Ten Cryptocurrencies, the combined portfolios are worth $32,611 That’s up +366% on the combined portfolio. The peak for the combined Top Ten Index Fund Experiment Portfolios was November 2021’s all time high of +533%. Special shout out to the 2022 Top Ten Portfolio, which is tantalizingly close to break even point for the first time since its inception in January of 2022. Here’s the combined monthly ROI since I started tracking the metric in January 2020: https://preview.redd.it/wiazfe93x76e1.png?width=1074&format=png&auto=webp&s=e1f358e22ca6aade166a8c72d671d7361149c021 In summary: That’s a +366% gain by investing $1k on whichever cryptos happened to be in the Top Ten on January 1st (including stablecoins) for seven straight years. Comparison to S&P 500 I’m also tracking the S&P 500 as part of my Experiment to have a comparison point to traditional markets. https://preview.redd.it/6rn1l284x76e1.png?width=1076&format=png&auto=webp&s=63dd2b7d65fa6cf1b1eb56ab023810427143228a The S&P 500 is up +27% so far in 2024, so the initial $1k investment into crypto on New Year’s Day would be worth $1,268 had it been redirected to the S&P. Taking the same invest-$1,000-on-January-1st-of-each-year approach with the S&P 500 that I’ve been documenting through the Top Ten Crypto Experiments, the yields are the following: $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2018 = $2,262 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2019 = $2,413 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2020 = $1,872 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2021 = $1,610 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2022 = $1,269 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2023 = $1,575 today $1000 investment in S&P 500 on January 1st, 2024 = $1,268 today Taken together, the results for a similar approach with the S&P: After seven $1,000 investments into an S&P 500 index fund in January 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 my portfolio would be worth $12,269. That is up +75% since January 2018 compared to a +366% gain of the combined Top Ten Crypto Experiment Portfolios. The visual below shows a comparison on ROI between a Top Ten Crypto approach and the S&P as per the rules of the Top Ten Experiments: https://preview.redd.it/dn3iy175x76e1.png?width=1156&format=png&auto=webp&s=de99b09ee78b11d63d2ed603f255bc598d283e06 Conclusion: To the long time followers of the Top Ten Experiments, thank you for sticking around so long. For those just getting into crypto, I hope these reports will help prepare you for the highs and lows that await on your crypto adventures. Buckle up, go with the flow, think long term, and truly don’t invest what you can’t afford to lose. Most importantly, try to enjoy the ride. A reporting note: I’ll focus on 2024 Top Ten Portfolio reports + one other portfolio on a rotating basis this year, so expect two reports from me per month. November’s extended report is on the 2023 Top Ten Portfolio, which you can access here. You can check out the latest 2018 Top Ten, 2019 Top Ten, 2020 Top Ten, 2021 Top Ten, and 2022 Top Ten reports as well. submitted by /u/Joe-M-4 [link] [comments]

I asked for it, it happened, but still did not take it.

I will make this short! I got into the crypto in 2021. Almost before every token reaches ATH. Bought a good bag of top 10 coins. During that time, I was most of the time disappointed and sad. sad, that why I got late into the crypto and wished for a crash. Well, guess what?!! That crash happened. A huge one. I was 90% down on my actual investment. I was so much under pressure and scared of that famous quote; „Crypto is going to zero“, that I forgot my previous wish. I witnessed Sol going to 10$ and BTC going to 12K. I was there! I fucking saw it! Bu did not dare to take the chance. And now?!!! And now the rest is history! A 20K worth of investment in Sol in 2023, would have been ~500k of profit, when Sol broke ATH almost a month ago! Take your chances, people! It’s is possible. You just need to take it. submitted by /u/navariani [link] [comments]

Not a single top 100 Alt from 2021/2022 has hit a new ATH against BTC.

An Alt to BTC pair tells how a crypto asset is performing against BTC over a period of time. Perhaps the most famous alt to btc pair is ETH to BTC and although ETH is up in USD it has never hit a new ATH against BTC. https://preview.redd.it/eyhhd1wf946e1.png?width=1208&format=png&auto=webp&s=0bc377c08596648b802ac69b4ef20f8684f55c87 In fact if you purchased ETH during the ETH to BTC ATH on June 11th 2017 you'd be up ~11X in USD on your investment. But had you bought BTC instead you'd be up over 33x... https://preview.redd.it/gh4hhi9y946e1.png?width=1671&format=png&auto=webp&s=0ceff32260d5b66321b634b363200a89a90a28a1 The fact is almost every single alt will be outperformed by BTC over time and although a few alts may break that trend especially in the short term. Holding alts through multiple cycles is risky at best and foolish at worst. If we look at the top 100 Alts from 2021, not a single alt from the top 100 in 2021 has managed to break it's 2021 or 2022 ATH against BTC. https://web.archive.org/web/20211123023737/https://www.coingecko.com/en Now you're probably thinking one of the following. So I'll preemptively address them. "Alt season is just getting started this isn't a fair comparison" "Ya But I'm up in USD on my investment" "I don't want to trade because taxes are complicated" "It's safer to hold and your grandchildren will thank you" "Stop trying to get people to sell" "I'm not a trader I make a plan and stick to it" "You're a trashy BTC Maxi" So let's break these down one by one. * "Alt Season is just getting started" BTC Dominance has definitely fallen but if you're gambling on future gains you have to first accept it's a gamble, and the current break down could be the farthest that it goes. If you have gains it's not a bad thing to realize gains. * "Ya but I'm up in USD on my investment" If that's you, you either purchased a long time ago in a bear market and held through a bull market, and a bear market - and you would most likely be up even more if you just purchased BTC. Alternatively you are a new purchaser and you got some nice gains on the breakdown of BTC dominance. If you held your ALT from 2021 to today you are guaranteed to be down significantly compared to just holding BTC. * "I don't want to trade because taxes are complicated" Ya Taxes are complicated but that only matters if you're in profit. If you hold your alt to the top and back down because "you're a long term holder", you are simply making bad investment decisions. * "It's safer to hold and your grandchildren will thank you" Please STOP with this nonsense, Long term nearly every Crypto asset will not only bleed value against BTC but also bleed value in USD. Don't believe me check the top 100 crypto assets in 2017, 2021, and 2024 and count how many assets from 2017 are still in the top 100 today. * "Stop trying to get people to sell" I'm not trying to get people to sell, I'm trying to get people to stop with the the nonsense where they demonize selling. You can hold your alt of your choice just don't reinforce the mindless selling alts is bad philosophy. * "I'm not a trader I make a plan and stick to it" It's always good to stick to a plan in investments and to think rationally but if your plan is to hold your alt for the next ten years, just buy BTC instead. * "You're a trashy BTC Maxi" I'm not a BTC Maxi I wouldn't have 98% of my crypto investments in rCC Moons if I was a BTC maxi. ----- Another not so Fun Fact only two of the top 30 crypto assets in 2021 have hit a new USD ATH since... Solana and Tron... but both are still down compared to their 2021 ALT to BTC ATHs. submitted by /u/GabeSter [link] [comments]

Vancouver City Council voted today, 4 against 2 in favor of exploring city bitcoin reserve

In a historic move, the Vancouver City Council has voted 4-2 in favor of exploring the possibility of establishing a city bitcoin reserve. The motion was introduced by Mayor Ken Sim. This decision positions Vancouver as a potential pioneer in Canada, leading the way towards becoming a major crypto-friendly city. If implemented, the bitcoin reserve could have significant implications for the city's financial future and its standing in the global cryptocurrency landscape. Citizens and cryptocurrency enthusiasts are encouraged to engage in the discussion and provide supporting evidence to bolster the case for this innovative initiative. By demonstrating public support and highlighting the potential benefits, we can accelerate the realization of Vancouver's vision as a crypto-forward city. submitted by /u/DaUmega [link] [comments]

The price is now trading above $700 and the 100-hourly simple moving average. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $705 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair (data source from Binance). The pair must stay above the $700 level to start another increase in the near term. BNB Price Starts Fresh Increase After a close above the $675 level, BNB price started a fresh increase, like Ethereum and Bitcoin. The bulls were able to pump the price above the $680 and $700 resistance levels. There was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $705 on the hourly chart of the BNB/USD pair. The pair surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $761 swing high to the $650 low. The price is now trading above $700 and the 100-hourly simple moving average.

Dogecoin, XRP Flashing ‘Overlooked’ Bullish Signal, Santiment Reveals

The on-chain analytics firm Santiment has revealed that Dogecoin and XRP are flashing bullish signals in an often overlooked metric. Dogecoin, XRP, & Bitcoin Recently Saw A Decline In Mean Dollar Invested Age In a new post on X, Santiment has discussed the latest trend in the Mean Dollar Invested Age indicator for a few of the top coins in the cryptocurrency sector. Related Reading: Crypto Suffers $1.6 Billion Liquidations As XRP, DOGE Down 10% The “Mean Dollar Invested Age” keeps track of the average age of every dollar the holders have invested into the cryptocurrency. This metric is similar to the Mean Coin Age, an indicator that measures the average age of tokens in the entire circulating supply. The Mean Coin Age uses on-chain data to determine when every coin was last moved on the network and calculates the mean for the supply based on it. The Mean Dollar Invested Age works on the same data, except that it converts the coins to their USD value based on the price at their last movement. Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Mean Dollar Invested Age for five top digital assets: Bitcoin (BTC), XRP (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), Ethereum (ETH), and Chainlink (LINK). As displayed in the above graph, the Mean Dollar Invested Age has registered a decline for all five of these cryptocurrencies recently, but the scale of the drawdown has been quite small in the case of Ethereum and Chainlink. On the other hand, Bitcoin, XRP, and Dogecoin have witnessed a very significant decrease in the indicator. As for what it means when this metric trends down, Santiment explains: When a network’s Mean Dollar Invested Age line is moving down, it indicates that older, stagnant wallets (particularly from large key stakeholders) are circulating their dormant coins back into circulation, increasing network activity. While this suggests that the older hands are potentially participating in selling, another way to look at it could be that new capital is flowing into the market, buying up these dormant coins and bringing the average age down. Related Reading: Litecoin Not To Be Overlooked, Analytics Firm Says: Here’s Why Indeed, it seems historically, the pattern has proven to be bullish, as the analytics firm has pointed out: This is one of the key indicators throughout the history of each coin’s lifespan that helps validate that a bull market can and should continue. The 2017 and 2021 bull markets similarly did not come to a halt until assets’ mean ages started going “up” (getting older) again. Out of the three assets that have seen a sharp decline in the Mean Dollar Invested Age, Dogecoin has particularly stood out for both the scale and the speed of the drawdown; the average dollar invested into the memecoin has become 31% younger over the last eight weeks. DOGE Price At the time of writing, Dogecoin is floating around $0.403, down almost 2% in the last seven days. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com

It coincides with the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $2.64 swing high to the $1.899 low. The price is now trading above $2.350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $2.45 level. The first major resistance is near the $2.4750 level. The next resistance is $2.50. A clear move above the $2.50 resistance might send the price toward the $2.550 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $2.650 resistance or even $2.720 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be $2.880. Another Pullback? If XRP fails to clear the $2.475 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2.280 level. The next major support is near the $2.20 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $2.20 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.080 support. The next major support sits near the $2.00 zone.

Hidden Driver Of Bitcoin’s Rally: Coinbase Dominance Fades, Binance Takes The Lead

While Bitcoin (BTC) has previously shown significant momentum in this market cycle, recent insights suggest that liquidity sources beyond Coinbase may be driving the trend. A CryptoQuant analyst, Mignolet, specifically provided a detailed analysis of Bitcoin’s market, shedding light on the role of major exchanges like Coinbase and Binance in the ongoing bull cycle. Related Reading: Anthony Scaramucci Foresees China Bitcoin Strategic Reserve In 2025 Shifting Liquidity Dynamics And Exchange Roles In a recent post on the CryptoQuant QuickTake platform titled “Coinbase Dominance Remains Low,” Mignolet examined the trajectory of Coinbase’s influence on Bitcoin’s price movements. The analyst highlighted that while Coinbase played a crucial role in the initial stages of this year’s Bitcoin rally, its dominance has since diminished. This shift indicates a broader distribution of liquidity across the market, with Binance emerging as a significant player in sustaining the bullish momentum. Coinbase dominance remains low “However, just before the rise in September-October, Coinbase dominance actually declined and has not significantly increased even now (red box).” – By @mignoletkr More details 👇https://t.co/nmnPGuz3WK pic.twitter.com/mBSImH8MwD — CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) December 11, 2024 Mignolet’s analysis points to a critical observation: Coinbase’s dominance in spot trading has notably declined during the second phase of Bitcoin’s current rally. His analysis revealed that Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were approved earlier this year, spurring a surge in Coinbase’s trading activity. This influx of liquidity was instrumental in driving Bitcoin prices upward and disrupting the traditional halving cycle expectations. However, as the rally progressed, Coinbase’s influence waned. The analyst emphasized that while Coinbase remains a pivotal source of liquidity, Binance has assumed a more prominent role in the current market phase. Mignolet wrote: Let me reiterate: I’m not saying that Coinbase liquidity is unimportant or insignificant. It’s incredibly important. What I am highlighting is that there’s an even more critical source of liquidity at play. = Binance Notably, Binance’s growing dominance suggests that liquidity flows from a wider array of participants, contributing to a somewhat decentralized and strong market structure. This redistribution could indicate broader institutional and retail interest in Bitcoin as traders and investors diversify their platforms. Bitcoin Sees Sharp Rebound Following a few days of correction dropping below the $95,000 price mark, Bitcoin has now seen a sudden rebound. Related Reading: As Bitcoin Trades Above $100K—Analysts Reveal What Could Be Next Particularly, at the time of writing, the asset has reclaimed the $100,000 price mark with a current trading price of $100,625, marking a 4% increase in its price.

The son of US President-elect Donald Trump said that Bitcoin will continue to soar and made an audacious prediction that it will reach $1 million per coin. Related Reading: Tether’s USDT Hits New High—330 Million Wallets And Counting Trump Organization Vice President Eric Trump vowed that his father and their family will not cease their support of the firstborn cryptocurrency. Cornerstone Of A Financial Revolution Eric believes that Bitcoin being traded at $1 million per coin may happen soon, describing the crypto as the “cornerstone of a financial revolution.” COMMENT: Eric Trump is confident that Bitcoin will hit $1M. https://t.co/iFb5cmzpFz — BSCN (@BSCNews) December 10, 2024 Trump’s son made the fearless forecast as he talked to the attendees of the Bitcoin MENA 2024 conference in Abu Dhabi on December 9, delivering his prediction to the audience without any taint of doubt on the capability of Bitcoin to hit that milestone. “I can tell you a hell of a lot more eyes are going to be opened when Bitcoin hits $1 million. And I’m confident it’s going to hit $1 million. I think we’re all confident in this room that it’s going to hit a million,” Eric stated. According to Eric, he sees Bitcoin as a “global asset”, pointing out the global significance of the crypto in a time wherein the threat of inflation, political instability, and natural disasters is rampant. For the Trump Organization’s vice president, the future of finance is Bitcoin, arguing that the crypto is a powerful hedge against the traditional financial system’s inefficiencies because of its decentralized quality and fixed supply of 21 million coins. “Bitcoin eliminates the need for tens of thousands of bankers pushing paperwork for exorbitant fees,” he added. More Accessible Financial Tool Eric noted that what makes Bitcoin successful as a global asset is its accessibility, adding that crypto does not need intermediaries such as banks or brokers in its transactions. Trump’s son stressed the global appeal of cryptocurrency and how user-friendly is the digital asset as compared to traditional real estate investments. “Unlike real estate, Bitcoin is not tied to geography. It’s global, instantly liquid. You can buy or sell it while having dinner with your spouse,” Eric explained. Moreover, Eric emphasized that Bitcoin could empower people in developing nations. “Bitcoin gives everybody the opportunity around the world to participate in ways they never otherwise would have thought, no matter their wealth, no matter their location,” he remarked.

XRP Price Prediction: Last Phase Of ABC Wave Points To A Bounce To New ATH At $5.85

Crypto analyst Dark Defender has revealed a target to watch out for as the XRP price targets a new all-time high (ATH). The analyst made this prediction based on his wave analysis, which showed that XRP is still bullish.  XRP Price To Hit New ATH At $5.85 In an X post, Dark Defender predicted that the XRP price could reach a new ATH of $5.85 based on his ABC wave analysis. The analyst stated that XRP set the ABC wave when the crypto was at Wave A. He further noted that XRP has bounced back from the $1.88 support level.   Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Prediction: Here’s What The 91-Day Pattern Says Could Happen Next With this development, the analyst is confident that the XRP price rally to $5.85 has begun. The analyst recently revealed that a bull flag appeared on XRP’s weekly chart, which showed that the crypto could reach as high as $11 by early 2025. Based on his Elliot Wave theory, the analyst had also previously predicted that the XRP market top could be around $18.  In the meantime, the goal is for the XRP price to surpass its current ATH of $3.80 and reach $5.85, as Dark Defender has predicted. XRP has witnessed a price correction following its parabolic rally of over 200% last month. However, the crypto looks well primed for its next leg up.  From a fundamental perspective, the XRP price boasts a bullish outlook, especially following New York’s approval of the RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed that exchange and partner listings are set to follow and that RLUSD will launch soon. This development caused the price to experience a significant bounce.  Meanwhile, crypto analyst TheXRPguy listed the RLUSD launch as one of the events that market participants wait for before they consider selling their coins. The stablecoin launch would inject more liquidity into the XRP ecosystem, which could spark a significant surge in the XRP price.  The Stars Are Aligning For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto said that the stars are aligning for a massive bull run for the XRP price. He made this statement while alluding to the fact that experts predict that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could dismiss its appeal against Ripple when the new administration comes in.  Related Reading: This Analyst Correctly Predicted The Bitcoin Flash Crash To $94,000, But There’s A New Target He noted that the SEC lawsuit is the last “lone cloud” lingering above the XRP community. As such, dismissing the appeal could boost investors’ confidence in the crypto, providing a bullish outlook for the XRP price. CrediBULL Crypto suggested that XRP could reach as high as $10 in this bull run while stating that there should be more than one wave of upside remaining.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.34, up over 8% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.  Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

Solana Welcomes Ethereum Prodigy – Is A Price Surge On The Horizon?

Max Resnick, a reputable Ethereum expert, has taken a bold shift to the Solana blockchain. The change follows his departure from Consensys, where he played an important role in advancing Ethereum’s ecosystem. Given Resnick’s strong ties to Ethereum and growing enthusiasm for Solana, this unexpected decision has sparked debate in the cryptocurrency community. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bet For Amazon? 5% Stake Proposal Raises Eyebrows Resnick wrote a blog post outlining his motivation for joining Solana, emphasizing his wish to become knowledgeable about the protocol’s main components, including consensus processes and fee markets. He clarified, “I want to get up to speed on the implementation details as soon as possible,” adding that his work might open the door for others to eventually help Solana flourish. Last week was my last week at Consensys. Today is my first day at @anza_xyz. I’m taking my talents to Solana.

He applauded Anza’s behind-the-scenes efforts, namely its contributions to network enhancements. “Those of you in Eth land may not have heard much from them, but they’ve been quietly shipping major improvements to the network over the past year,” Resnick pointed out. Resnick hasn’t completely given up Ethereum despite his transformation. Working as a Research Fellow at Consensys, he will keep providing advise and support. Resnick’s dual function suggests that he aims to cross knowledge between two important blockchain environments, therefore benefiting both communities over time. Solana Price Momentum Positive confidence has helped Solana’s market performance to progressively get better. SOL has risen 5.9%, to $225 within the past 24 hours. The altcoin has surged sharply since early November, surpassing levels of crucial resistance. SOL’s value jumped 215% during the past year, suggesting rising investor confidence. The slow rise in price suggests stronger technical structure and more market use. Analysts predict Solana’s momentum will keep on, especially with well-known people like Resnick on its development team. #Solana $SOL will hit $4,000, based on this cup and handle pattern! pic.twitter.com/dXZLI9urOh — Ali (@ali_charts) December 10, 2024 Related Reading: HBAR To Hit $100?

POPCAT’s Firm Support At $1 Reignites Rally Toward New Heights

POPCAT has reignited excitement in the market as buyers stepped in at the crucial $1 support level, halting the recent pullback and fueling hopes for a renewed rally. This strategic rebound underscores the token’s resilience and growing bullish momentum, setting the stage for a potential climb toward new heights.  With market sentiment shifting and technical indicators flashing promising signals, the question arises: Can POPCAT sustain this upward push and reach fresh milestones? Let’s dive into the technical indicators and market dynamics driving this pivotal moment. Technical Indicators Signal Strength: A Closer Look At POPCAT Chart The 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a resurgence of upside strength as the RSI signal line has successfully climbed out of the oversold zone. This recovery suggests a shift in market sentiment, with buyers gradually regaining control. Currently advancing toward the 50% mark, this movement reflects increasing optimism in the market. Should the RSI breach this midpoint, it could signal the strength of the upward momentum, setting the stage for POPCAT to rally toward key resistance levels and solidify its recovery trajectory. Related Reading: POPCAT Nears Breakout Towards New ATH, But Analysts Warn Of Possible Correction Also, a closer examination of the 1-day RSI shows a noticeable reversal, as the RSI signal line is now rising toward the 50% threshold after recently dropping to 40%. Significantly, this shift also implies that selling pressure may be subsiding, with buyers starting to regain control. As the RSI indicator moves into neutral territory, the market could be poised for a trend change. If the RSI continues to climb, this could signal a strengthening bullish trend, offering POPCAT an opportunity to build momentum and challenge higher price levels. Critical Resistance Levels In Focus For New Heights As the meme coin rebounds from key support levels, the focus now shifts to the critical resistance levels that could determine its next move. POPCAT at the $1 mark has proven to be a strong foundation, but the token must overcome key resistance zones for it to reach new heights Related Reading: Solana Memecoin Market Thrives: POPCAT Reaches New Record Price Of $1.75 With technical indicators demonstrating increasing bullish momentum, POPCAT’s price is now approaching the 100-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). A move above this key indicator could spark a rally toward the $1.5 resistance level. If POPCAT successfully breaks through this resistance, it could set the stage for an extended price surge, potentially propelling the token to even higher targets. Traders will be watching closely to see if these critical levels can be surpassed, paving the way for continued upside. However, should POPCAT fail to break above the 100-day SMA, it may experience a decline, possibly heading back toward the $1 mark. A drop below this key support level could trigger a bearish continuation, with the price likely to drop to the $0.8 support level and other ranges.
