Juan Villaverde has weighed in: The crypto bull is here to stay in 2025.
Bitcoin not only made a new closing high earlier this week.
It then went on to establish a new all-time high above $111,800.
This is beyond bullish. And when combined with the macroeconomic forces Juan identified in his latest Weiss Crypto Daily update, it means there’s more upside for the OG crypto this year.
And there are two additional developments pushing Bitcoin even further.
The first is the fact that Coinbase Crashed Wall Street's Party this week, as well.
As Jurica Dujmovic explains, the largest U.S.-based centralized exchange has just joined the S&P 500. And with that, it got a big stamp of legitimacy among the TradFi crowd.
Since Monday, millions of Americans who have never even heard of Coinbase now own a slice of it.
That's because every S&P 500 index fund — those cornerstone investments in 401(k)s and retirement accounts nationwide — has had to buy Coinbase shares to properly mirror the index.
With that increased crypto legitimacy comes our second development: institutional investment.
This is A Stealth Bull Market That Could Make Bitcoin Unstoppable. In 2024 alone, global corporate holdings of Bitcoin more than doubled.
And those holdings are still on the rise.
In his update, Bob Czeschin breaks down the five reasons Bitcoin is like catnip to companies … and why they’ll go back to the well for more this year.
We all know that, while Bitcoin leads the market, it is far from the only promising opportunity. In fact, smaller projects are likely to rally harder as they have more room to grow.
Finding the ones most likely to outperform is the tricky part.
But our DeFi expert Marija Matic has a suggestion for you: Find Crypto Growth Beyond Price Action. Marija explains that on-chain datacuts through the hype most price swings live on to highlight what really matters.
And it offers real fuel for deeper research.
In her latest update, she breaks down what metrics investors can use to help them identify projects with real promise.
Projects like Space and Time (SXT, Not Yet Rated).
According to Mark Gough, This Crypto Brings Forward the Future of Decentralized Data.That’s because it offers a truly decentralized approach to bridge data from multiple blockchains and even off-chain sources. All without exposing the data itself.
It goes beyond a mere source of data; Space and Time is a mathematical engine of trust.
That’s a game changer for two red-hot narratives: DeFi and AI on the blockchain.
But that’s all I have for you this week. Be sure to check your inbox tomorrow for your next Weiss Crypto Daily update.
