2024年香港比特币ETF增幅超四成，以太坊ETF仅增长约1%

Odaily reported that in 2024, the global stock market cumulatively rose 17%, and the gold price also rose 27.2%, while Bitcoin soared by over 1.2 times. The SEC's approval of 11 Bitcoin spot ETFs at the beginning of last year was seen as a milestone, providing investment opportunities for institutional investors. Hong Kong also approved ETFs in April, and Bitcoin spot ETFs listed at the end of April last year have cumulatively risen by around 40% since then. Ethereum spot ETFs generally only rose around 1%, underperforming the rise in ETH prices. Analysts believe that last year was an important year of transformation for the industry, and the industry's key words this year are expected to include compliance implementation, institutional layout, policy benefits, and innovative breakthroughs.

Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF will increase by more than 40% in 2024, while Ethereum ETF will only increase by about 1%

Odaily reports that Steno Research recently released a report stating that its bullish forecasts for BTC and ETH prices reflect "an unprecedented favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies, a supportive macroeconomic environment marked by declining interest rates and improved liquidity, and the historic strong performance of Bitcoin after the halving." It also said that "in addition, institutional adoption is expected to reach unprecedented levels, and the massive inflow of funds into US Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs is further driving this trend." Steno expects net inflows of $48 billion and $28.5 billion for BTC and ETH ETFs respectively by 2025. Furthermore, the report states that DApp TVL is expected to exceed $300 billion by 2025, far exceeding the 2021 peak of around $180 billion. Previously, Steno Research reported that Bitcoin's price is expected to rise from around $94,000 to at least $150,000 next year, while ETH's price will more than double from $3,400 to at least $8,000. That is, the ETH/BTC exchange rate will rise from the current 0.0357 to 0.06 within the next 12 months, similar to the price trend of the previous cycle, and Altcoins will be the focus of attention.

A look back at the key moments when Bitcoin changed the cryptocurrency landscape in 2024

Odaily reported that Alex Thorn, the head of research at the cryptocurrency asset management company Galaxy Digital, believes that Bitcoin will break through $150,000 in the first half of the year and reach $185,000 in the fourth quarter. In a research report, Alex Thorn wrote, "Adoption by institutions, corporations, and nation-states will drive Bitcoin to new highs by 2025. During its existence, Bitcoin's appreciation rate has surpassed all other asset classes, particularly the S&P 500 index and gold, and this trend will continue in 2025. Bitcoin will also reach 20% of gold's market capitalization." Galaxy predicts that the assets under management of the US spot Bitcoin ETF will exceed $250 billion by 2025. The company also expects that next year, five Nasdaq 100 index companies and five countries will add Bitcoin to their balance sheets or sovereign wealth funds.
