Is there scarcity of Bitcoin in the market? In general, the overall supply shock continues to build up, as Bitcoin's illiquid supply has reached a new all-time high while exchange balances hit a new multi-year low. Almost 75% of Bitcoin supply is deemed 'illiquid' according to Glassnode, while less than 14% of supply remains on exchanges. Moreover, whales continue to send bitcoins off exchange on a net basis. Listen in on Bradley Duke, Head of Europe at Bitwise, as he provides insights into the latest supply and demand trends shaping the crypto markets. #bitcoinetf #bitcoin Bradley Duke Proactive

Outlook 2025: Is Bitcoin already overvalued at 100k USD? We have just published our monthly 𝗕𝗶𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 report for December 2024! 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: The US presidential election in November acted as a key catalyst for a crypto market rally, with Bitcoin reaching near 100k USD and altcoins, particularly XRP and Cardano, outperforming due to reduced regulatory uncertainty and increasing adoption narratives. Strong on-chain fundamentals, including supply constraints and institutional demand, suggest the rally could extend into 2025, while the altcoin market experienced its highest outperformance since mid-2022, driven by diverse investment themes. 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼: The US Dollar has become the most dominant macro factor for bitcoin recently and so the recent Dollar appreciation has turned into a headwind for bitcoin and cryptoassets, especially since it implies a contraction in global money supply. Newly asserted US dominance with the new administration as well as increasing Euro sovereign risks could exacerbate Dollar strength over the coming months. However, increasing Dollar strength should lead to further rate cut odds for the Fed as a strong Dollar jeopardizes the current economic recovery in the US. 𝗢𝗻-𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻: Cycle top probabilities have increased somewhat as sentiment appears to be stretched, and long-term holders have increasingly taken profits. Nonetheless, the Bitcoin supply shock continues to intensify as evidenced by the continuing decline in exchange balances and liquid supply. We expect this to be a major tailwind in 2025, at least until the second half of next year. Moreover, valuations that are only moderately expensive still leave more room for further price appreciations over the coming months.
