The cryptocurrency market in 2024 is in a phase of cautious optimism. Bitcoin ($BTC ) and Ethereum ($ETH ) remain the leaders, being recommended by experts due to expectations of major events, such as the Bitcoin halving in April, which should reduce the supply of the currency and potentially increase its price. This event has already shown positive impact in the past, taking the price of BTC to new heights, with expectations that it could surpass its all-time high of US$ 69 thousand. In addition, technological updates in Ethereum promise to improve the efficiency of the network, which should also boost its value.
