From seeing BTC at a modest $80,000 to the sky-high dreams of $500,000 - the guessing game continues.
Goldman Sachs sees a surge
Goldman Sachs' head of digital assets, Matthew McDermott expects significant growth in the crypto market in 2024.
Institutional adoption and blockchain regulation are expected to drive digital asset maturity.
Businesses are scaling their blockchain usage to maximise commercial opportunities.
Traditional assets will likely be tokenised before more exotic ones, improving liquidity, pricing visibility, and transparency.
The approval of Bitcoin ETFs, expected by January 10, 2024, could attract investments from institutional players, such as pension funds and insurers.
Bitcoin ETFs may experience gradual growth after approval, gaining traction throughout the year.
Bitcoin and L2 year: Coinbase report
Bitcoin will continue to dominate the cryptocurrency market, especially in the first half of 2024.
Blockchain projects initiated during the bear market will yield results, with improved infrastructure, onboarding processes, and scalability.
Ethereum's position in the market will strengthen further as layer two (L2) solutions built on Ethereum continue to grow.
Layer two solutions will boost Ethereum's position.
Competing L1 blockchains must pivot toward specific sectors, such as gaming, NFTs, or institutional participation, to remain relevant.
Decentralisation Dominates: a16z report
Crypto new era: Decentralisation. Improved governance models lead to unprecedented decentralised coordination.
Enhanced User Experience: Developers work on simpler UX for crypto apps. New tools, like passkeys and embedded wallets, improve user-friendliness.
Modular Tech Stacks Rise: Open-source modular stacks foster innovation and competition.
AI and Blockchains Converge: Crypto enables global, permissionless AI markets. Lower AI costs and transparency benefit users.
Play-to-Earn Evolution: "Play and earn" replaces "play to earn," rewarding users in gaming ecosystems.
Crypto Guarantees for AI: Crypto ensures integrity in AI-driven games.
Simplified Formal Verification: Easier formal verification for software and smart contracts emerges.
NFTs as Brand Assets: Brands use NFTs for customer engagement and loyalty. NFTs become ubiquitous digital brand assets.
CoinShares says $80,000
James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, predicts that the potential approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. will expand the investor base and integrate cryptocurrencies with traditional financial markets.
“Thus, while the halving is a known event, other elements, particularly the potential for interest rate reductions, are likely to be significant in shaping Bitcoin’s price in the future.”
Butterfill suggests that a 20% increase in investment could drive Bitcoin prices to $80,000.
Additionally, central banks cutting interest rates may also play a role in boosting Bitcoin's value.
More adoption: Crypto.com report
Crypto Adoption Growth: In 2023, crypto adoption reached 575 million owners with a monthly growth rate of 2.8%. Expected growth in 2024 ranges between 700-900 million global crypto owners.
Bitcoin Halving: Anticipated in April 2024, Bitcoin's halving will reduce block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, historically indicating a price increase.
Ethereum's Dencun Upgrade: Focusing on rollup-centric scaling and data sharding, this upgrade aims to lower data costs for Layer-2 rollups and increase Ethereum's transaction throughput.
Account Abstraction (AA): ERC-4337 introduced AA, enhancing user-friendly Dapp interactions, with over one million wallet users by March 2023.
Bitcoin ETFs: Market expectations foresee SEC approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, potentially attracting around $79.5 billion over three years.
