The cryptocurrency market has been on a strong upward trajectory since early 2023. According to data from CryptoQuant, the crypto bull market is entering its final stages, raising questions about what lies ahead for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). With Bitcoin recently surpassing $100,000 and Ethereum breaking past $3,500, investors are wondering if there’s more room for growth or if it’s time to exercise caution.

Here’s a closer look at what analysts and industry insiders are saying about the crypto market’s future.

CryptoQuant Warns: Final Stage of Crypto Bull Market Is Here

Data analytics provider CryptoQuant recently published a report suggesting that the crypto bull market is nearing its cyclical peak. The firm warns that Bitcoin’s recent spike to $101,812 resembles patterns seen during previous market tops.

In a January 6 post, CryptoQuant contributor “Crypto Dan” stated, “With a substantial influx of new investments as well as additional funds from existing investors, it is reasonable to expect that the market is now in the latter stages of this cycle.”

According to the report, one critical metric—Bitcoin’s short-term holding percentage—jumped to 36% in Q4 2024. Historically, a high percentage of recently purchased Bitcoin indicates that investors are becoming more speculative, a sign that the bull market is reaching its end.

While CryptoQuant acknowledges that Bitcoin and altcoins could see further gains in 2025, they urge investors to be cautious. “From a conservative standpoint and with risk management in mind, caution is advised,” the post concluded.

Other Analysts Predict the Bull Run Will Continue in 2025

Despite CryptoQuant’s cautious outlook, other analysts believe the crypto bull market has more room to grow.

Asset management firm VanEck expects Bitcoin (BTCUSD) to hit a medium-term peak of $180,000 in early 2025. They also project Ethereum (ETHUSD) to trade above $6,000 by the end of the year.

According to Matthew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, “At the cycle’s apex, we project Bitcoin to be valued at around $180,000, with Ethereum trading above $6,000.”

Steno Research echoes this sentiment, predicting that 2025 could be crypto’s best year yet. They foresee Bitcoin and Ethereum surpassing their previous all-time highs as more institutional investors enter the market.

Traders on popular prediction platforms Polymarket and Kalshi also expect BTC and ETH to reach new heights in 2025. They believe regulatory developments, such as the approval of new crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and the establishment of a U.S. Bitcoin reserve, could further boost the market.

What’s Driving the Crypto Bull Market?

Several factors have fueled the current crypto bull market:

Institutional Adoption

More institutional investors are embracing cryptocurrencies, driven by increasing regulatory clarity and new financial products like ETFs.

Macro Economic Trends

Global inflation and economic uncertainty have pushed investors toward Bitcoin as a hedge against traditional financial risks.

Halving Events

Bitcoin’s next halving event is expected in early 2024, reducing the block reward for miners. Historically, halving events have preceded significant bull runs.

Emerging Markets

Cryptocurrencies are becoming more popular in emerging markets, where traditional banking systems are less accessible.

Should Investors Be Cautious or Optimistic?

The key question for investors is whether the crypto bull market is closer to its peak or if it still has more upside.

CryptoQuant’s warning suggests that we could be nearing the top of the cycle. Their data indicates that speculative behavior is increasing, which often precedes market corrections.

However, many analysts remain bullish, pointing to Bitcoin’s strong fundamentals and growing adoption.

VanEck, Steno Research, and traders on Polymarket believe that Bitcoin and Ethereum will continue to rise throughout 2025, driven by increased institutional interest and favorable regulatory developments.

The Bottom Line: Is the Crypto Bull Market Ending?

While there are signs that the crypto bull market is entering its later stages, the outlook remains divided. Some analysts urge caution, warning that speculative behavior could trigger a market correction. Others remain optimistic, forecasting new all-time highs for Bitcoin (BTCUSD) and Ethereum (ETHUSD) in 2025.

As always, investors should approach the market with a balanced strategy, considering both the risks and potential rewards. Whether the bull run continues or a correction looms, the crypto market is likely to remain a hot topic throughout 2025.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has released its latest crypto derivatives analytics report in collaboration with Block Scholes. The report sheds light on key trends in open interest and market behavior during the significant year-end options expiration for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).

Key highlights:

Open Interest Solid Amid Year-End Options Expiration

Although open interest in BTC and ETH perpetual swaps has not returned to the early December 2024 highs, it remained stable during the critical year-end options expiration. This stability suggests that traders did not heavily rely on perpetual contracts to hedge the delta of expiring options, which contributed to the muted volatility observed during this period. Trading volumes dipped during the winter holiday season, aligning with a collapse in realized volatility, which reached its lowest levels of December.

BTC Option Curve Remains Steep During Call-Put Parity

Contrary to expectations, the expiration of December’s options did not spark a surge in volatility. Instead, realized volatility declined to the lower end of its recent range. The implied volatility term structure for BTC options remains steep, with longer-dated implied volatility hovering around 57% and 1-week at-the-money options trading approximately five points lower. Most of the expired open interest has not been reinvested, maintaining a neutral call-put balance. As a result, BTC’s options market shows limited leverage compared to its position at the beginning of December 2024, reflecting a cautious sentiment.

Huge ETH Option Expiring Doesn’t Cause Volatility

Despite the substantial expiration of ETH options in late December 2024, market dynamics remained stable. A spike in realized volatility during December failed to extend into the new year, with ETH’s spot price currently showing lower volatility compared to short-tenor implied volatility. Over the past week, the implied volatility term structure for ETH options has shifted, steepening briefly before flattening again, diverging from BTC’s consistently steep profile. This pattern suggests that ETH’s options market is bracing for potential short-term volatility in spot price movements.

Interestingly, despite the expiration, call options for ETH have gained momentum at the start of 2025, dominating the market and indicating an optimistic outlook among traders.

VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — December 30, 2024, just marked a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency industry as the European Union Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCAR) comes into effect. This groundbreaking regulation represents a major shift in the EU’s approach to cryptocurrency oversight, aiming to enhance consumer protection, promote market integrity, and foster innovation across the digital asset ecosystem.

Recognizing the significance of MiCAR for the future of the crypto industry, OrangeX has taken several steps to align its operations with the new framework, which includes successful integration of the Travel Rule API, a crucial component of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. This integration demonstrates OrangeX’s commitment to compliance and its proactive approach to meeting the requirements set forth by MiCAR.

1. Travel Rule API Integration: A Milestone in AML Compliance

OrangeX is proud to announce the successful integration of the Travel Rule API, a key component of anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. This technology ensures seamless and compliant data sharing between financial entities, reinforcing OrangeX’s commitment to transparency and consumer protection. By implementing this critical tool, OrangeX has taken a proactive stance to address MiCAR’s rigorous AML requirements.

2. Licensed Operations in EU

Currently, OrangeX holds a trading license in the Czech Republic, enabling the exchange to operate within the EU’s existing regulatory framework. This license not only affirms OrangeX’s credibility but also places the platform in a strong position to expand its services across the EU once MiCAR takes full effect.

3. Registering as Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP)

As part of its preparation for MiCAR, OrangeX is dedicated to ensuring compliance with the regulation’s stringent standards as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP). We’re actively implementing measures to meet all operational, security, and transparency requirements set forth by the new rules.

4. Continuously Adopting Advanced Technologies

OrangeX fully understands that stringent anti-money laundering (AML) measures are crucial for protecting users and ensuring the compliant development of the platform. Recently, in addition to OrangeX’s existing database, they have integrated Slowmist’s AML system (https://www.misttrack.io/) and CipherOwl, which are also used by major crypto exchanges globally. This enables OrangeX to more comprehensively scan transactions and prevent virtual assets from flowing through our platform to sanctioned or high-risk addresses.

OrangeX recognizes the importance of adhering to regulatory standards. We maintain active communication with regulators and are instrumental in developing our compliance architecture and keep focusing on implementing the necessary measures to uphold the highest standards of security and transparency for the users. All efforts underscores OrangeX’s long-term vision of building a secure, trusted, and innovative platform for its users.

A Bright Future for the EU Crypto Market

The introduction of MiCAR signals a new era of opportunity for cryptocurrency service providers, customers, and affiliates. By standardizing regulations across the EU, MiCAR is expected to enhance market credibility, attract more institutional investors, and create a safer environment for all stakeholders.

OrangeX views these developments as an opportunity to lead by example in promoting a compliant and forward-thinking crypto ecosystem. The exchange is committed to collaborating closely with EU regulators to ensure its operations align with MiCAR’s requirements, setting the stage for future growth and innovation.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the cryptocurrency “$JENNER” on the Solana and/or Ethereum blockchains between May 26, 2024 and the present, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 17, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased $JENNER during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the $JENNER class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31137 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 17, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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 $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, Defendant Caitlyn Jenner 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’s financial health, business prospects, and future growth opportunities; (4) Jenner’s and other insiders’ own holdings and financial interests in the enterprise; and (5) false and misleading statements about getting $JENNER listed on centralized cryptocurrency exchanges (“CEXs”). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the $JENNER class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31137 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

‘The Six Million Dollar Man with Banana’ by Mr. Hide Draws Crowds
At Animazing Gallery at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — A month after comedian Maurizio Cattelan’s banana duct taped to a wall sold to a crypto entrepreneur for $6.2 million, people are still talking… and having a laugh.

Animazing Gallery in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, is having a little fun with the viral sensation – today unveiling a piece featuring a vintage 1973 Kenner The Six Million Dollar Man plastic toy doll holding an acrylic banana taped to a piece of white foam board – and it is grabbing attention! The 18 1/2-inch by 13 1/20-inch piece by “Mr. Hide,” also available on Artsy.net (Mr. Hide | The Six Million Dollar Man with Banana (2024) | Available for Sale | Artsy) is priced at… you guessed it… $6 million. Could this be a playful mocking of the buyer of Cattelan’s piece?

“The $6.2 million banana duct taped to a wall has certainly been the talk of the art world,” said Nicholas Leone, owner of Animazing Gallery. “It has lent itself to weeks of playful jest and awe, so it is not surprising that our ‘Six Million Dollar Man with Banana’ is already attracting crowds and an endless parade of people taking selfies with the piece at Animazing Gallery.”

ABOUT ANIMAZING GALLERY

Animazing Gallery began in 1984 as a gallery specializing in conceptual animation art. Over time, the collection expanded to include works by a wide range of renowned illustrators and pop culture artists. Animazing Gallery has become an industry stronghold for illustration art and contemporary art inspired by the masters of illustration and hosts pop up events throughout the United States to celebrate its artists and their works.

Upon acquiring a collection of comic strips by Charles M. Schulz in 1995, the gallery began to focus on at American Illustrators. In the gallery’s search to find art exhibiting “the perfect line,” the owner soon discovered an important collection of drawings and watercolors by Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. The artwork was exhibited in numerous museum exhibitions. 

Owner Nicholas Leone serves as a consultant for numerous auction houses and handles gallery sales and acquisitions. The company’s featured gallery is located in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas and features an abundant repertoire of classic illustrators and contemporary artists.
