The year 2024 turned out to be significant for the cryptocurrency market, even though fund-raising results were moderate.
Crypto projects raised $16.1 billion, a 53% increase over 2023, but that growth looks modest in the context of a bullish market.
For comparison, global venture investments totaled $368.5 billion, with crypto venture projects making up only 4% of that volume.
Later-stage investments are fewer, and round sizes remain consistently low — most deals range from $1 million to $10 million. However, improved regulations in the U.S. could become a catalyst for crypto projects.
AI and blockchain continue to merge, creating new opportunities for decentralized applications with enhanced privacy and scalability.
AI technology is becoming crucial in the crypto ecosystem, including projects like Sentient and Fraction AI.
Blockchain-based gaming and metaverses remain in the spotlight.
Projects like Alliance Games and Overworld pave the way for mass adoption, using tokenization and NFTs to power innovative in-game economies.
📎 Conclusion
In short, 2024 demonstrated that despite a bullish market, crypto fundraising faces challenges that require strategic solutions for sustainable growth.
At the same time, AI integration, Bitcoin-based DeFi, and specialized blockchains are opening new frontiers for innovation and scalability.

Rumors are circulating that 2025 will be the year of altcoins, but JPMorgan disagrees.
Here’s why:
Future policies remain speculative, with the timing and impact of new regulations still in question.
Meanwhile, ambitious plans to develop crypto reserves in the US and beyond are likely to focus exclusively on Bitcoin.
Some US states are already pushing bills to start stockpiling Bitcoin as an inflation hedge—a concept that Washington could embrace during Trump’s second term.
Bitcoin remains the primary focus for investors.
According to JPMorgan, Bitcoin accounted for 35% of the total $78 billion inflows into the crypto market in 2024.
In comparison, spot Ethereum ETFs have only accumulated around $2.4 billion since their launch in July.
Bitcoin is expanding its capabilities, including support for smart contracts, allowing it to compete with tokens like Ethereum.
Decentralized initiatives often experience a rapid decline in activity after initial hype-driven success, reducing their value.
For long-term success, projects must prove their practical application benefits.
Additionally, it is noted that MicroStrategy has only halfway completed its plan to invest $42 billion in Bitcoin.
Their purchases have become significant support for the token, accounting for 28% of crypto inflows last year.
Bitcoin continues to be the main driver of the crypto market, with higher growth prospects in 2025 compared to altcoins.

Below are the main events in the crypto world over the past week:
December’s CPI rose by 0.4% month-over-month (the forecast was 0.3%).
The annual increase hit 2.9% — marking the third consecutive month of growth, the highest since July 2024.
President Donald Trump plans a series of executive orders supporting the crypto industry:
One proposal that caused a stir is a strategic “America First” reserve, prioritizing digital assets of American origin (Solana, USD Coin, Ripple).
The New York State Supreme Court found Trump guilty on 34 counts but released him without conditions, citing the importance of transferring presidential power.
Trump’s team proposes creating a council to regulate cryptocurrencies, draft legislation, and implement the Bitcoin reserve.
Plans include close coordination with the SEC, CFTC, and the US Treasury to foster a crypto-friendly environment.
Review of previous crypto cases, possible freezing or withdrawal of non-fraud-related lawsuits.
South Korea’s FIU issued Upbit a notice of suspended operations for up to six months over alleged AML and KYC violations.
New users may be temporarily barred from withdrawing assets.
A final decision will be made on the 21st after a hearing.
US users (excluding New York State) can take out loans secured by BTC.
This is Coinbase’s second attempt after shutting down its program in 2023 due to SEC complaints.
Clients bear the risk of liquidation and interest rates, but Coinbase covers network and lending fees.
According to a Santander report, 3.9 million tourists visited the country in 2024 — a 22% increase from the previous year.
Most visitors came from the US, drawn by interest in Bitcoin payments.
The event, called “Crypto Ball,” coincides with Trump’s inauguration.
Crypto “Czar” David Sacks will host, with co-organizers BTC Inc., Kraken, Coinbase, and others.
MAGA Inc. then plans a VIP reception at $100,000 or $1 million, including dinner with Trump.
NFT trading volume dropped 19% year over year, and sales fell 18%.
Volume for Q3 declined to $1.5 billion from $5.3 billion at the start of the year, recovering only slightly at the end of 2024.

Last week, digital assets set a new inflow record, reaching $2.2 billion —
Total assets under management (AuM) exceeded $171 billion for the first time, while year-to-date (YTD) cumulative investments grew to $2.8 billion.
Bitcoin: $1.9 billion inflow, bringing the total since the start of the year to $2.7 billion. Interestingly, despite positive price movement, there were small outflows from short positions (only $0.5 million).
Ethereum: +$246 million for the week, offsetting previous outflows, but still weaker than others in total 2025 flows.
XRP: +$31 million for the week, and a hefty $484 million since mid-November 2024.
Stellar: +$2.1 million. No significant changes for other altcoins.
USA: Dominates with $2 billion.
Switzerland: +$89 million.
Canada: +$13 million.
AuM: $171 billion — a historic high.
ETP Trading Volume: $21 billion, equating to 34% of the total BTC trading volume on verified exchanges.
📎 Conclusions:
The market is being propelled by “Trump euphoria,” prompting a massive shift of investors into digital assets.
Despite the growth, many continue to watch short positions and the dynamics of altcoins.
The long-term outlook remains positive, though new administrative decisions and macroeconomic signals could introduce adjustments.

CNBC invited Binance CEO Richard Teng for an interview to discuss the future of the cryptocurrency market in 2025.
The interview took place at the World Economic Forum in Davos (Switzerland).
Teng noted that the crypto market will reach a new record high, buoyed by positive regulatory changes in the US under the new President, Donald Trump.
More clearly defined regulations will help drive market growth.
“Looking at past cycles, this year we will see a new record for the crypto industry,” Teng said.
As evidence, he cited Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 mark, which sparked optimism among crypto traders.
BTC will renew its ATH (all-time high) in 2025.
“The narrative around cryptocurrency has changed significantly.”
Teng noted that he’s now hearing much more positive sentiment about cryptocurrency from political and corporate leaders.
He expects progress in the US on several fronts, including token issuance, trading, and asset management.
According to the Binance CEO, Trump is capable of bringing “certainty” and “recognition” to the crypto sector.
He also has no doubt that a strategic Bitcoin reserve will be created in the US.

One of the most pressing issues right now: will the project for a Strategic #BTC Reserve be implemented or not?
Let’s break down the key features of this proposal and why it’s so important.
A strategic reserve refers to stockpiles of critically important resources that a government can quickly mobilize and use in emergencies or crises.
Example: The U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the largest government-controlled oil storage system in the world (700 million barrels). It was created in 1975 by Congress in response to the 1973–1974 oil embargo.
Although no official strategy has been presented yet, there are three likely mechanisms for accumulation:
The most specific proposal for a Bitcoin reserve being discussed in Washington comes from Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis, who personally owns 5 BTC.
Her bill suggests that the U.S. Treasury purchase 200,000 BTC annually over five years, resulting in a total reserve of 1 million coins (about 5% of all Bitcoin).
Funding would come from Federal Reserve profits and gold sales, with a minimum holding period for the Bitcoin set at 20 years.
Currently, 12 states are ready to back this initiative:
Florida, Alabama, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming, Massachusetts, Utah, and Arizona.
Trump believes that a Bitcoin reserve would help the U.S. secure a leading position in the global BTC market and counter China’s influence.
Supporters argue that holding a Bitcoin reserve — an asset they believe will appreciate over time — would enable the U.S. to reduce its budget deficit without raising taxes, while strengthening the dollar.
However, risks include the high volatility of the asset.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) has raised its interest rate to 0.5% — the highest level in 17 years.
Here’s a closer look at whether this will impact the cryptocurrency market or not.
The BOJ raised rates twice in 2024, going from -0.1% to 0.25%.
In August 2024, a rate change significantly affected global markets, triggering a correction.
Initially, discussions indicated raising the rate to 0.45%.
The final approval of a record 0.5% came amid upward revisions in inflation forecasts to 2.9%.
Meanwhile, the yen sits at about 156 against the dollar, the strongest exchange rate in a month.
Economists suggest that a stronger yen relative to the dollar may put pressure on BTC and crypto markets.
However, unlike previous hikes, the government provided early signals about possible changes, giving the market time to prepare.
Any global market impact is likely to be less severe than in August 2024.
Rising rates and high inflation can trigger market volatility and prompt a correction in cryptocurrencies.

The crypto world, much like fashion, moves in cycles: trends vanish only to reappear later.
Today, we’ll explore whether two seemingly forgotten trends — NFT and tap-to-earn are poised for a comeback.
Until recently, NFTs were written off as a waning fad, but the numbers tell a different story:
$WAXP soared +350% in a week, and $TVK (Virtual Metaverse) climbed +165%.
Such performance reminds us that interest in NFTs may be returning, especially with the rise of metaverses and digital collectibles.
Perhaps this is the perfect chance not to miss the next big wave.
When the meme-hamster era ended, it seemed tap-to-earn would fade away as well. However, TON recently signed an agreement stating that Telegram-based apps must run exclusively on the TON blockchain.
What does this imply?
Example: the game SPLASH: a mini-app featuring a super cute dog named Dev, inspired by dog meme!
Mechanics offer:
The sudden surge in users hints that it’s best to jump on the trend while it’s still gaining momentum.
It’s not a matter of “if” these trends return, but “when.”
In crypto, it’s essential to sense trends in advance — and now is the time to do it.

Key events that affected the global economy:
A working group was also created to strengthen leadership in the digital finance sector, tasked with:
David Sacks, the White House Commissioner for AI and Crypto Technologies, was appointed to lead the group.
Recall that at the Economic Forum, Trump stated the US would become the world’s crypto capital.
After the inauguration, Trump said: “I don’t know much about the token. I know I launched it. I heard it’s successful, but I haven’t checked yet.”
Following this statement, TRUMP’s price dropped by 30%.
The US President fulfilled his promise and granted early release to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road darknet marketplace.
On January 24, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) removed the Dogecoin logo, replacing it with a logo featuring shiba inu elements.
The department also announced a plan to cut federal spending, including shutting down the CDOEC committee.
Eric Conner stated he was leaving the Ethereum community, accusing the Ethereum Foundation of being disconnected from the community and lacking transparency.
At the start of 2025, MicroStrategy purchased
On January 22, the NASDAQ Twitter account was hacked and used to promote the counterfeit STONKS token.
The token’s market cap reached $80 million in just a few hours, then collapsed.

Here are insights from an experienced trader, Bobrovsky, who rose from junior analyst to senior in a well-known market-making team.
His background in mathematics provides a deep understanding of market mechanics, so it’s beneficial to learn how he arrived at his conclusions about liquidity:
Liquidity refers to the zones on a chart where orders accumulate, such as stop-losses and limit orders. These areas attract big players because they allow them to enter large positions with minimized risk.
❗️ Important to Understand: Liquidity is almost always taken out. The price often breaks obvious support or resistance levels to “collect” traders’ stop-losses, then reverses.
Avoid taking trades in areas of obvious liquidity. Wait for these orders to be cleared and look for entry points afterward.
For example, if the price breaks a level and quickly returns, it may be a signal of a reversal.
BTC recently broke through the $100,000 level — a zone with a large cluster of liquidity.
However, the price quickly came back, indicating that major players are “collecting” stop orders before the next impulse.
🔍 What Does This Mean for Traders?
Bobrovsky recommends using liquidity heatmaps to see where orders cluster.
By the way, his Telegram channel is full of interesting market insights: forecasts, signals, and the heatmaps themselves.
This approach can help you predict price movements and avoid market-maker traps.
Follow liquidity zones and how price reacts to them, and stay informed.

This became possible thanks to a new presidential order outlining the creation of a strategic reserve in Bitcoin.
Year-to-date (YTD) total investments have reached $4.8 billion, and assets under management continue to grow.
Bitcoin: $1.6 billion inflow, bringing its total for the year to $4.4 billion. Bitcoin accounted for 92% of all digital asset investments.
Ethereum: +$205 million, showing a recovery after recent outflows.
XRP: +$18.5 million for the week.
Solana, Chainlink, Polkadot: $6.9 million, $6.6 million, and $2.6 million respectively.
USA: Leads with $1.9 billion, as positive news strengthened investor confidence.
Switzerland: +$35 million
Germany: +$23 million
Canada: +$31 million
Trading Volume: $25 billion over the week, accounting for 37% of all trading on verified crypto exchanges.
The inflow confirms growing interest in digital assets amid macroeconomic uncertainty.
📎 Conclusions:
The presidential order has boosted investor confidence, especially in Bitcoin, which continues to attract the lion’s share of capital inflows.
Altcoins are rebounding but remain overshadowed by the market’s main asset. Long-term prospects depend on further economic decisions and overall market sentiment.
