Significant developments in the cryptocurrency market have been reported. Former US president,
Donald Trump, has continued his engagement with Bitcoin; he made good on his first promise regarding the digital currency and speculation arises about his future plans. Meanwhile, market analysts predict Bitcoin could reach
$250,000 by 2025 and possibly
$700,000 in the foreseeable future. Software company,
MicroStrategy, has purchased more Bitcoin, with a recent purchase of
$1.1 billion before a vote to increase its shares to fund Bitcoin acquisitions. Their investment strategy appears to be paying off as their holdings now approach
450,000 BTC, equating to around
$47.3 billion. A
new Bitcoin ETF promises to protect against price volatility. On the technology front, research suggests that Bitcoin will evolve to meet the threat from quantum computing. In a more surprising development, a Bitcoin wallet linked to
Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, who was recently pardoned by Trump, has re-surfaced containing $47 million in Bitcoin. This has sparked discussions about Bitcoin’s use as a crime tool, and whether Ulbricht’s actions could have a lasting impact on Bitcoin’s reputation. Other key events include MicroStrategy's $2B Bitcoin play, Bitcoin-based stablecoin USDh securing $3M in liquidity and
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink pushing for a bullish Bitcoin adoption forecast. However, not all views are bullish; some suggest Bitcoin is not a 'Threat' to US Dollar while holding reserves could pose a threat to freedom. In conclusion, 2025 is a year to watch as market sentiment and key events could greatly influence Bitcoin's price and reputation.
