🚀 Bitcoin's liquidity is on the rise, folks! 💪 This could mean a steady climb in BTC's price.

Liquidity, or how easily an asset can be bought or sold without affecting its price, has been on the up since the FTX collapse. This is great news for Bitcoin as it can help to reduce price volatility and the impact of big sell-offs.

Since the halving on April 20th, Bitcoin's market depth has grown from $323.91 million to $419.97 million. 📈

But, there's a catch. Weekend trading activity has historically been a challenge for crypto markets, causing a decline in Bitcoin's weekend trading volumes.

Despite this, the optimism surrounding the spot Bitcoin ETF approvals, improving liquidity conditions, and higher transaction fees is high.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties still exist. Previous Bitcoin halvings have coincided with periods of low-interest rates and stable inflation, supporting bull runs.

Moving forward, the halving alone won't fuel a sustained bull run. Bitcoin needs to attract new investors, likely through the U.S. and upcoming Hong Kong spot Bitcoin ETFs.

What do you think? Will improving liquidity and demand boost Bitcoin's value? Let's chat in the comments! 🗨️ #Bitcoin #DeFi

🚀 Bitcoin's hanging tough at $64K despite some ETF outflows. Altcoins are chillin' too, with SHIB up by 3% and NEAR making a 7% leap to over $7. 📈

Last week, Bitcoin had a wild ride due to Iran-Israel tensions, dropping below $60K. But hey, it bounced back to $65K after the dust settled. It even hit a local peak of over $67K! 🎢

Sure, it slipped a bit yesterday to below $63K, but it's still above $64K now. The market cap's just $30 billion shy of $1.3 trillion, and Bitcoin's dominance over alts is nearly 51%.

Most altcoins are pretty steady, with ETH, SOL, TON, ADA, and BCH slightly down, while BNB, XRP, DOGE, and AVAX have made small gains. Tron and Shiba Inu are up by about 2.5%-3%.

NEAR Protocol's token is the star performer today among the top 50 alts, soaring by almost 7% to over $7.2. The total crypto market cap's just under $2.5 trillion.

🚀 BitcoinOS is making strides to bring rollups to Bitcoin, promising "unlimited smart contract functionality" and scaling. The BitSNARK and Grail system aims to bridge Bitcoin to Layer2 rollups and blockchains in a trust-minimized way.

🔍 BitSNARK builds on BitVM, discovered by Robin Linus, and enables cheap, efficient, and secure bridges. No softfork, upgrades, or new op-codes needed, says Edan Yago, one of the paper's authors.

⚖️ Unlike existing Bitcoin Layer2 systems, Grail uses BitSNARK to generate SNARK proofs for Bitcoin and rollup transactions, allowing secure asset transfers between L1 and L2 rollups.

🔐 The Grail bridge requires at least two operators but theoretically, any number could be supported. The trust assumption works unless all parties collude, making it robust.

🚨Crypto buzz! Ethereum (ETH) spot ETFs might hit a roadblock next month, with experts predicting a thumbs-down from regulators.😕 This could push any ETH product for U.S. investors to Dec 2024 or later.

Why the pessimism?🤔
- SEC's been pretty quiet during meetings with potential ETH ETF issuers.
- No in-depth chats about the proposed products, unlike Bitcoin spot ETFs earlier this year.

But hey, ETH futures ETFs got listed in Oct, right?🤷‍♂️
- True, but SEC's not biting. They're not engaging with these arguments, hinting at a likely denial.

So, what's next?👀
- A lawsuit, maybe? It worked for Bitcoin, but Grayscale might not want to fund another legal battle.
- SEC's not a big fan of crypto, and they might use the 'need more data' excuse to deny ETH ETFs.

📉BTC's had a rollercoaster ride since 2022's bear market, with pullbacks of up to 23%. But hey, every cloud's got a silver lining, right? 🌈

- 2022 was rough, with BTC plunging to $16,600, a low not seen since Nov 2020.
- 2023 saw a series of 20%+ dips, but BTC rallied till mid-Jan 2024, thanks to the US approving the first wave of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
- 2024 has been a mixed bag, with a 21% drop in Jan, a rally, and then another 18% fall.

Crypto analyst Rekt Capital suggests these pullbacks could be golden opportunities. As BTC hovers between $60,000 and $70,000, another 18% dip could be on the cards.

But remember, past pullbacks have often led to solid returns. So, keep those eyes peeled for the next -20% dip. It could be a bargain-buying bonanza! 💰

🔮#Ethereum's price is dancing on the edge, testing the crucial 100-day moving average at $3086. Will it hold or break? 📉🤔

- After a period of consolidation, Ethereum's price has seen increased selling activity, leading to a slight decline.
- The price is now testing a significant support level, the 100-day moving average.
- However, current market sentiment suggests a lack of buying activity, hinting at a potential bearish trend.

🔍On the 4-hour chart, Ethereum's price experienced a bullish reversal after notable buying pressure. But, sellers soon took control, causing a renewed bearish downturn.

📊Sentiment analysis shows a sharp decline in the Taker Buy Sell Ratio, suggesting Ethereum's bearish trend could persist in the mid-term.

🚀 Hey, New Yorkers! Robinhood is now offering Shiba Inu ($SHIB ), Avalanche ($AVAX), and Compound ($COMP) for trading. Despite a recent dip, $SHIB is showing signs of a potential rally. Why?

🔥 A 500% increase in its burn rate is creating scarcity, which could drive up value.
🔄 A shift from centralized entities to self-custody is reducing selling pressure.
💡 Developments in Shibarium, $SHIB 's Layer2 blockchain network, are also promising.

📉 Bitcoin (BTC) took a 4.5% tumble from $66,700 to $63,500, dragging other big altcoins like Avalanche, Shiba Inu, Toncoin, Solana, and Cardano with it. 😲

💸 On the same day, spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $120M, breaking a three-day inflow streak. BlackRock's IBIT ended its 71-day inflow streak, while Grayscale's GBTC continued its outflow trend.

📊 Despite the dip and ETF outflows, experts urge calm. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart reminds us that zero inflows on ETFs are a regular occurrence and not a cause for alarm.

🚀 Bitcoin's future is looking bright, folks! Standard Chartered's head of digital assets research, Geoff Kendrick, predicts a bullish trend for BTC 📈.

Why?
- The recent BTC halving has led to a less leveraged market.
- This, coupled with potential positive news from the Iran-Israel situation, could fuel an uptrend.

💥 The recent market shakeup saw BTC drop from $71K to $61K in a day, leading to a massive $1.8 billion liquidation. But don't fret! Kendrick believes this has cleared the path for a BTC rally.

📊 He also sees inflows into Bitcoin ETFs as a major driver. Although currently stalled, he expects $50-$100 billion inflows in the next 18-24 months as the market matures.

🎯 Kendrick's end-of-year price target for BTC? A whopping $150K! And by 2025, he predicts it could hit $200K-$250K if Bitcoin ETF inflows reach $75 billion.

🚀 Balaji Srinivasan, ex-CTO of Coinbase, predicts a surge in Bitcoin Maximalism, as faith in the traditional financial system wanes.

💸 With U.S. inflation at 3.5% and the Fed's interest rate hike causing higher loan repayments, he believes there's no escape from the financial squeeze.

📈 Personal interest payments have leapt from $240B in 2021 to $520B now, while U.S. Treasury payments could hit $1.6T by Q4 2024.

💰 As the U.S. debt surpasses $34.6T, Balaji warns of the country printing "gigantic quantities of money", sparking a revolution led by the younger generation.

🔥 "It's the people vs the government, the network vs the state, and most of all, the dollar vs Bitcoin," he says.

👑 Bitcoin maximalism, the belief that Bitcoin is superior to all other assets, is set to rise. Even Michael Saylor, exec chairman of MicroStrategy, identifies as a Bitcoin maximalist.

🚀 FTX, the bankrupt crypto exchange, is changing its game plan! It's auctioning off its remaining Solana (SOL) tokens, hoping for a better price than direct sales. 🎯

🔸 FTX's move to auctions is a fresh strategy, ditching the fixed-price sales that have been causing dissatisfaction among creditors. Why? They feel it undermines the value of FTX's assets, reducing their potential recovery.

🔸 Big names like Pantera Capital, Neptune Digital Assets Corp, and Galaxy Trading have shown interest in FTX's SOL. Last month, FTX sold 25-30 million SOL at $64 each, netting up to $1.9 billion.

🔸 The auction deadline? Wednesday, April 24. Stay tuned for the results on Thursday!

🔸 Figure Markets is one firm that's publicly declared interest in the auction. They're creating a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) for the auctions, open to both non-U.S. and U.S. investors.

🔸 The SPV will take investments in USD and Circle (USDC), with bid prices decided on a $1:1 vote basis. It also lowers the bar for participation, with a minimum investment of $5,000, compared to the $5 million set by the estate for direct sales.

🚀 Bitcoin Power Law creator Giovanni Santostasi predicts BTC to hit $218,875 by Nov 2025 and drop to $96,677 by Dec 2026.

📈 This model, based on physics laws, suggests BTC's long-term price trajectory follows a "power law" relationship with time.

💡 Power laws are used in finance to predict stock price changes and are relevant across any time span. The Bitcoin Power Law expects BTC to peak at $1,212,799 in Nov 2033, before retracing to $802,399 in Dec 2034.

🔍 Santostasi dismisses other price models like the "stock-to-flow" model, calling it "conceptually, logically, mathematically wrong."
