At a recent Binance Blockchain Week in Istanbul, you had the opportunity to speak with industry insiders about the future of the cryptocurrency market and the potential for a Bitcoin bull run in 2024.
Bitcoin ETF – an Important Consideration
Richard Teng, Head of Regional Markets at Binance, pointed out that a potential launch of a spot BTC ETF in the United States and the upcoming Bitcoin halving next spring could trigger a bull run for the leading digital asset in 2024. Teng also mentioned that many finance giants have recently adopted a “crypto and blockchain agenda,” attracting new investors to the ecosystem and increasing mass adoption. Additionally, he highlighted enhanced regulatory clarity as another factor contributing to increased investor confidence.
Expectations for a ‘Warmer’ Environment in 2024
Eowyn Chen, CEO of Trust Wallet, also expressed optimism about the potential launch of a spot BTC ETF in America and the BTC halving causing a price spike for the primary digital asset next year. However, she warned that global macroeconomic conditions may negatively impact BTC prices.
‘Definitely Higher Numbers Next Year’
Sun Kyu from Contentos predicted that while he couldn’t foresee a new BTC all-time high in 2024, he expected the valuation to be “definitely higher” than the current one due to potential approval of a BTC ETF by the US government and the upcoming BTC halving.
‘We Can Hear the Footsteps’ of the Bull Season
Esra Kahraman of BTCHaber was cautious, suggesting that investors may need to wait longer before witnessing a proper Bitcoin bull run but believed it was just around the corner. Ali Tunc, Product Manager of Cointelegraph Turkey, felt that the current market outlook resembled the start of a bull season.
New Wave of Investors Next Year?
Elaine Egan, Brand Ambassador of Solar, predicted that 2024 would bring more adoption and a new wave of investors entering the digital asset space. She also anticipated Japan playing a key role in the next bull run and emerging as a global leader in crypto.
Hot Take: What’s on The Horizon for Bitcoin?
The sentiment among attendees at Binance Blockchain Week is generally positive regarding Bitcoin’s prospects for 2024. With factors such as potential regulatory clarity and adoption by finance giants, there is hope for increased investor confidence and mass adoption. While some remain cautious about predicting an immediate bull run, others are optimistic about higher valuations and even Japan’s role as a global leader in crypto.
