The playbook is out in the open—Bitcoin gets a “strategic reserve” narrative, Ethereum ETFs move forward, and sovereign wealth funds quietly load up on digital assets.

2024 wasn't just a defining year for cryptocurrency it was a personal milestone for me. As someone invested in Bitcoin and smaller players like XRP, I witnessed the market's recovery from brutal downturns to moments that felt nothing short of transformative. The buzz on platforms like Twitter and Reddit was electric, with communities rallying around projects like XRP and dissecting every twist in the market. It was the kind of collective energy that's impossible to fake, a reminder of the late 1990s when the internet turned skeptics into believers and industries into ecosystems. Cryptocurrency is no longer a niche curiosity it's center stage, with institutional backing, political recognition, and cultural relevance. In this article, I reflect on 2024's pivotal moments and explore the trends, opportunities, and challenges shaping the road ahead in 2025. Reflecting on 2024: A Milestone Year The year 2024 will forever be remembered as a pivotal chapter in the evolution of cryptocurrency. From Bitcoin's meteoric rise past $100,000 to groundbreaking regulatory shifts and the mainstream adoption of digital assets, the industry witnessed a transformation that reshaped its landscape. It was a year of resilience, innovation, and unprecedented integration into global financial and political systems, setting the stage for an even more dynamic 2025. Mainstream Adoption Through ETFs One of the defining moments of 2024 was the U.S. SEC's approval of 11 spot Bitcoin ETFs, signaling a new era of investor accessibility. By December, these ETFs held over 1.13 million BTC, reflecting significant capital inflows. Similarly, Ethereum ETFs attracted $14.28 billion, accounting for nearly 3% of Ethereum's market capitalization. Analysts predict this trend will deepen, with ETFs possibly capturing 10-20% of the market capitalization of these leading cryptocurrencies in the coming years. Bitcoin Breaks $100,000 Barrier Bitcoin shattered the elusive $100,000 milestone in November, fueled by optimism surrounding political initiatives, such as President-elect Donald Trump's proposed Bitcoin reserve. Though later corrected to $95,000, the surge underscored Bitcoin's resilience as a store of value and a hedge against inflation. The Rise of Memecoins Memecoins made an unexpected splash, with tokens like Fartcoin and the Trump-inspired Patriot token driving market excitement. The average return rate of meme coins soared to 201%, far surpassing the market average of 128%. The underlying infrastructure for this boom was Solana, a blockchain platform that hosted 89% of new meme coin projects, emphasizing its cost-effective and high-performance advantages. Political and Legislative Progress Cryptocurrency entered the political arena with record donations of $238 million during the U.S. elections, reflecting its growing influence. Meanwhile, the bipartisan "Financial Innovation and Technology Act of the 21st Century" (FIT21) laid a regulatory foundation by clarifying the distinction between securities and commodities, reducing uncertainty for industry stakeholders. State-Level Initiatives States like Ohio, Texas, and Pennsylvania made strides toward incorporating Bitcoin into their fiscal strategies. The proposed Bitcoin reserves were touted as inflation hedges, signaling a broader acceptance of cryptocurrency in government finance. Key Lessons from 2024 The events of 2024 offered invaluable insights into the cryptocurrency landscape, highlighting both opportunities and challenges. The year underscored the importance of resilience, innovation, and strategic foresight, from navigating volatile market cycles to adapting to regulatory frameworks and technological advancements. These lessons guide investors, businesses, and policymakers as they prepare for the road ahead. Volatility Is Here to Stay Bitcoin's price fluctuations throughout 2024 reaffirmed that volatility remains an intrinsic feature of the crypto market. The cryptocurrency landscape witnessed unpredi...

Bitcoin ETFs faced record outflows of $671.9 million, led by Fidelity's $208.5 million withdrawal, breaking a 15-day inflow streak. Ethereum ETFs also saw declines after 18 days of growth, signaling shifting investor sentiment amid market volatility. Bitget reported a 683% surge in Gen Z users in November, driven by optimism following the U.S. presidential election, which proposed a national Bitcoin reserve and eased crypto regulations. The Federal Reserve delivered its third consecutive 25 basis point rate cut, aiming for maximum employment and a 2% inflation target. Sonic Labs launched Sonic mainnet, an EVM-compatible blockchain with 10,000 TPS, instant finality, and developer-focused incentives. $TURBO, an AI-driven meme coin, is gaining traction, with forecasts for 2025 seeing it reaching $0.15

This week on the Weekly Rollup: Bitcoin briefly plunged to $93K amidst $1.1B in crypto liquidations, marking the largest single-day event since 2021, with $815M wiped from long positions alone. Meanwhile, Ethereum ETFs hit a record inflow day of $428M, and Layer 2 solutions like Mantle are driving the ecosystem forward with nearly 1M ETH bridged to Base. On the regulatory front, the crypto world sees both challenges and opportunities as Trump appoints David Sacks as Crypto Czar while Microsoft shareholders reject Bitcoin on their balance sheet. With bullish predictions, such as Bitcoin reaching $250K, and major milestones like 1B unique crypto addresses, the crypto market continues its rollercoaster of volatility and growth. ------

AI's rapid advancement is causing significant job cuts across major companies, with UPS, Google, and BlackRock among those impacted, raising concerns that it could automate 300 million full-time jobs globally by the decade's end.

A few weeks after its launch, Iggy Azalea's MOTHER memecoin is still in the spotlight. Host Joe McCann, who recently had dinner with her in New York, gives the inside scoop on how Iggy's $MOTHER came to be, plus her plans.  Also, Joe says Iggy is so bullish on Solana because it's fast and cheap… but James Seyffart counters… nothing can be fast, cheap, and good. Except ETFs. Guests Phil Bonello and Kelly Greer delve into the role of venture capital in crypto, and more particularly into dynamics between liquid hedge funds and massive token generation events. And James tells a mind-blowing story about how one ETF and obscure SEC rules could cause whiplash to the prices of Apple and Nvidia stock over the next few months.  Plus, after SEC head enforcer David Hirsch resigned from the SEC this week, everyone gave their takes on why. Is Hirsch going to BlackRock, or was he scared about a potential lawsuit?
