Here's what's TRU this month in crypto.

Bitcoin broke $100,000 for the first time, Microstrategy bought $2.1 billion of Bitcoin and was added to the Nasdaq 100, and the Ethereum ETFs saw recording breaking inflows indicating increased investor appetite as alt season kicks off.

Let's break it down.

Bitcoin Breaks $100,000

Bitcoin's price surged past $100,000, on December 5th, marking a significant milestone and generating widespread media attention. This rally fueled speculation about further price increases and renewed mainstream interest in crypto. The bulls are back

Microstrategy

MicroStrategy's Massive Bitcoin Purchase: MicroStrategy continued its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy, purchasing another $2.1 billion worth of Bitcoin. The outperformance of their stock has been impressive culminating with its addition to the NASDAQ 100 index on Dec. 23rd.

‍

‍

Ether ETFs Experience Record Inflows: Ether ETFs saw their best day of inflows ever in December and sustained and growing demand throughout the month.

‍

‍

This indicates growing investor interest in Ethereum and the beginning stages of "Alt Season" - a period of time in the crypto market when Ethereum and other alt coins tend to outperform Bitcoin.

ITAT Ruling Recognizes Cryptocurrencies as Capital Assets: India's Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) ruled that cryptocurrencies should be recognized as capital assets for taxation purposes. This landmark decision provided greater clarity on the tax treatment of cryptocurrencies in India and could encourage further adoption in the country.

India is a huge market for crypto. Indian crypto exchange CoinSwitch announced that its user base had grown to over 20 million investors, with a notable increase in female participation. Watch for continued adoption here and worldwide as regulatory clarity falls into place.

Strategic Bitcoin Reserve 🇺🇸

The concept of a "strategic Bitcoin reserve" gained traction in the US and worldwide, sparking serious and widespread discussions about the potential benefits and drawbacks of countries holding Bitcoin as part of their national reserves. Trump even mentioned this to Jim Cramer at a recent visit to the NYSE to ring the opening bell.

‍

We expect this to become a reality in 2025.

‍

‍

Stablecoin Expansion

‍

‍

CZ, founder and former head of Binance, recently claimed that the United Arab Emirates holds over $40 billion of Bitcoin. This has not been officially confirmed but has been an open secret in crypto for a long time.

‍

Conclusion

With so much bullish momentum and expected catalysts, it's hard not to feel bullish on the entire digital asset class for the next several months. This does not mean that we won't see multiple corrections along the way. Don't get shaken out by drops of 20-30 percent in the price of Bitcoin or alts. That's a normal part of any bull run.

‍

‍

All current macroeconomic, historical, and fundamental analysis points to a continued and significant bull run in the world of Bitcoin and digital assets. We anticipate sustained performance in Bitcoin and outperformance in the altcoin space as the market heats up and the bulls run.
