1. Market Observation
Keywords: BTC, XRP, ETH
The Bitcoin market has set a new high again. Fundstrat analyst Tom Lee said that the milestone event of breaking through the $100,000 mark has dominated the recent trend of the cryptocurrency market, and is in sync with the optimistic outlook of the S&P 500 index. After reaching a high of $103,647, the price of Bitcoin plummeted to around $90,000 and then rebounded to around $98,000, prompting many traders to deploy hedging strategies, and also raising concerns from some experts about market bubbles. The market heat continues to rise, with the daily trading volume of the Bitcoin ETF under the Hua Xia Fund exceeding HK$3.7 billion, a record high since its listing. Institutional investment enthusiasm remains high, with Semler Scientific investing $29.3 million to increase its Bitcoin holdings.
As the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender, El Salvador's investment strategy is reaping bountiful returns. Its Bitcoin holdings have risen in value to $603 million, with a staggering 124% return. This successful case has not only won the praise of Tesla CEO Elon Musk, but has also driven the strong performance of the country's sovereign bonds, making them one of the best performing bonds in emerging markets.
The corporate world's enthusiasm for cryptocurrencies is also on the rise. With Bitcoin breaking through the $100,000 mark, the stock price of cryptocurrency giant MicroStrategy immediately rose 8%. Manufacturer Worksport has also joined the layout, announcing that it will allocate 10% of its operating cash to Bitcoin and XRP, directly driving its stock price up 9%.
In terms of market outlook, ARK Investment CEO Cathie Wood remains optimistic, believing that even though Bitcoin's market capitalization has reached $2 trillion, it is still in the early stages of growth. Ethereum, although it set a new monthly trading volume record of $183.74 billion in November, still needs to overcome significant resistance to break through the $4,000 mark. It is worth mentioning that former President Trump, through his social media platform Truth Social, stated that Bitcoin's latest breakthrough is closely related to his personal influence.
