Bitcoin (BTC) could be worth $91,000 at the bottom of the bear market and $650,000 at the top of the bull cycle upon the full deployment of the cryptocurrency’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the coming years.
According to a tweet by Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo, the digital asset can achieve these price targets if investors fully deploy Bitcoin ETFs according to the recommendations of asset management firms.
Bitcoin’s New Price Targets
To substantiate his claim, the Bitcoin analyst elaborated some calculations based on allocation recommendations, self-custody inflows, and market value to realized value (MVRV), which is the ratio between the market value of BTC and its realized value.
Woo explained that asset managers like Fidelity are advocating for modest crypto portfolio

A miner wallet from the early years of the cryptocurrency market has awoken from a long slumber, moving its assets to a centralized exchange.
According to a tweet by Lookonchain, the wallet moved 50 BTC worth over $3.28 million to the crypto exchange Coinbase in the early hours of the Asian trading session.
Miner Wallet Moves 50 BTC
The wallet address 15sxzZ earned the BTC after validating a block on April 23, 2010, and has held the cryptocurrencies since then. At the time, Bitcoin’s value hovered around $0.04, and the stash was worth roughly $2.
On October 25, 2020, the address received 547 satoshis worth $0.36, possibly to settle gas fees when the time to move the coins arrived. By this time, Bitcoin’s value had increased to $13,100, and the 50 BTC stash was worth more

Crypto market analytics platform CryptoQuant believes the effects of Bitcoin halvings have been diminishing and that the upcoming event will have an even smaller impact on BTC’s value.
In the latest edition of the firm’s weekly crypto report, analysts said the effect of the halving has been reducing because the new issuance of BTC keeps getting smaller in relation to the number being sold by long-term holders, signaling that demand will be the key driver of prices post-halving.
Bitcoin Halving Effect on a Decline
According to the report, Bitcoin monthly issuance has fallen to 4% of the total BTC supply available. Before the first, second, and third halving events, Bitcoin issuance represented 69%, 27%, and 10% of the available BTC supply. Last year, Bitcoin issuance

A CryptoQuant analyst has revealed that Bitcoin (BTC) still faces the risk of a deeper price correction even as the halving event draws near.
According to a Quicktake by Gaah on the on-chain analysis platform, the crypto market is still hot as it is in a dangerous price region for leveraged traders. Significant pressure could trigger a correction that would break bitcoin’s current price structure.
BTC Faces Correction Risk
At the time of writing, open interest for Bitcoin hovered around the middle range, signaling that investors have a neutral sentiment in their interest in new positions. Regardless, the price of BTC remains in the region of the last top-created positions in March.
The open interest range is also volatile in the upper region, meaning there is room for more

Bitcoin’s (BTC) rally back to $70,000 has caused the value of meme coins to increase, making them the most profitable group among altcoins.

Meme Coins Dominate Altcoin Sector
Santiment explained that speculative asset growth, as seen in the meme coin space, has been one of the main themes of the crypto sector in 2024, dispelling beliefs that pumps targeted at projects with minimal development are red flags.
Such dramatic rises in value have been deemed signals that the cryptocurrencies in question are nearing their peak. However, Santiment believes the

Richard Teng, CEO of the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, believes the trading giant is past the cultural issues after it settled criminal charges from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) with a $4.3 billion fine.
During an interview with CNBC, Teng said Binance had moved past the early stage of its development, where there were no clear rules, and it had to operate in a certain way to stay relevant.
Binance Has Moved Past Cultural Issues
In November 2023, the DOJ unsealed a criminal indictment against Binance, accusing the firm of willfully floundering the Bank Secrecy Act and failing to implement a strong anti-money laundering program to prevent the platform from becoming a hub of illicit activities.

In the past 24 hours, Bitcoin (BTC) has rallied roughly 5%, surging past $72,000 in an attempt to retouch its all-time high. This upward trajectory has significantly reduced the number of addresses holding the digital asset at a loss.
According to data on IntoTheBlock, there are currently zero BTC addresses at a loss as the cryptocurrency hovers around $72,600.
Zero BTC Addresses at a Loss

The first quarter of 2024 turned out to be Bitcoin’s (BTC) third-best in the past three years, according to a report from crypto data analytics platform Kaiko.
It revealed that the leading digital asset recorded over $1.4 trillion in trading volumes between January and March 2024.
A Surge in Bitcoin Trading Volume
Q1 2024 was Bitcoin’s best quarter in a year as the network witnessed a surge in trading volume. The $1.4 trillion traded in the quarter was the largest cumulative amount the network had seen in more than two years, representing a 107% increase from the $674 billion recorded in Q4 2023.

With the fourth Bitcoin halving approximately 15 days away, miners are focused on increasing their profitability before their block rewards are significantly reduced.
Although some Bitcoin mining companies have increased their selling activity, they still face challenges like lower transaction fees, increasing mining competition, and the need for higher computing power to produce the same amount of BTC.
Miners Struggle to Sustain Profitability
The reduction of Bitcoin block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC will significantly affect miners. Their revenues will be slashed by 50%, and they will need higher BTC prices to sustain their profitability.
CryptoQuant’s latest weekly crypto report revealed that the mining industry’s daily revenue reached record levels in 2024 due

Price feed oracle and market data provider Pyth Network has released new price feeds for two blockchain tokens: W and USDB.

The Bitcoin halving event has been scheduled to take place in the next 15 days. Based on historical data, it could trigger a bull run that would last months, setting new price peaks.
Crypto data analytics platform Kaiko believes BTC could record a new top within nine to twelve months after the event on April 20.
Bitcoin’s Rally Post-Halving
Kaiko explained that the short-term price impact of Bitcoin halving events has been mixed in the past, but historical data has clarified that the value of BTC tends to increase within a year post halving, one of the major reasons it has been deemed a bullish event.
The upcoming halving will reduce the rewards earned by miners for validating transactions by half. The previous halving slashed the rewards to 6.25 BTC; the next one will

Robert Kiyosaki, known for his advocacy of Bitcoin (BTC), gold, and silver, has revealed that he would acquire more BTC if the crypto asset’s value ever drops to $200, as American financial writer Harry Dent predicted.
In a Tuesday tweet, Kiyosaki, the author of several financial books, including Rich Dad Poor Dad, said he hopes Dent’s prediction comes true, as such an occurrence would produce new multi-millionaires and possibly a few billionaires.
Bitcoin to $200?
Dent is known as the harbinger of financial and economic recession. Although most of his forecasts have been unsuccessful, he correctly predicted the 2000 dotcom crash and Japan’s 1989 bubble burst and recession. He told Think Advisor in October 2023 that the United States economy would experience “the crash of

The chances of Bitcoin facing a sell-side liquidity crisis in the next few months are very high due to demand for the digital asset soaring to unprecedented levels.
According to a weekly report from CryptoQuant, analysts expect the present Bitcoin sell-side liquidity inventory to cover demand for six to twelve months. Conversely, a plunge in liquid inventory could pull Bitcoin’s (BTC) price northward.
Unprecedented Demand Levels
Monthly demand for Bitcoin has risen from 40,000 BTC at the start of 2024 to 213,000 BTC at writing time. CryptoQuant measures the demand by the 30-day growth in the total balance of accumulation addresses – those that only receive and hold BTC. For context, these addresses hold over 10 BTC, have no outflows, do not belong to any centralized

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of the Ethereum network, believes meme coins can become higher quality projects that contribute positively to the crypto ecosystem and the world around them, squashing the narrative that such tokens are useless, racist, and sexist.
According to a new report titled “What Else Could Meme Coins Be?,” Buterin looks forward to seeing meme coin projects that support public goods instead of enriching insiders and creators. He urged creators to make games instead of just tokens.
Meme Coins Can Be More
The Ethereum founder cited a report he wrote ten years ago and published on Bitcoin Magazine, which addressed the role cryptocurrencies could play in funding important public projects like cancer research and saving the environment. He explained at the

In a tweet detailing his experiences during a 20-day road trip, Hougan said he met financial advisors who have already allocated 3% of their client’s portfolios to Bitcoin ETFs and those who have not nursed the thoughts at all, showing a gap in the adoption pace of the products.
Bitcoin ETF Inflows Are Long-Term
Hougan also engaged with national account platforms approving Bitcoin ETF investments later this month and others looking to do so in mid-2025. He said his discoveries indicated that the inflows the ETF market has experienced in the past two

The Nigerian government has slammed the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, with four counts of tax evasion charges as the saga between the entities deepens.
According to a report from local media Premium Times, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) filed the charges at a Federal High Court in the nation’s capital, Abuja, on March 22, the same day Nadeem Anjarwalla, one of the Binance executives detained since February, escaped from the custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Bitcoin (BTC) had entered a period of price correction following its ascent to an all-time high of $73,700. Miners, whales, and other market participants, including large investors, had begun selling their BTC to make profits.
However, analysts at CryptoQuant believe the Bitcoin bull cycle is far from over, as price valuation metrics are largely shy from levels seen in past market tops.
BTC in Correction Mode
The Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator flagged an overheated-bull phase last week as BTC plummeted from $73,700 to $60,700. The decline was triggered by traders offloading their stash to realize high-profit margins.
CryptoQuant found that unrealized profit margins soared to 69%, its highest level since March 2021, when BTC was trading at around $60,000. Although traders
