2023 was a crazy year for crypto and as the crypto winter begins to thaw, we expect 2024 to be even crazier. Here are Beluga’s predictions for 2024:

1. Bitcoin will break $100K and reach a $2 trillion market cap, placing it just outside the top 10 currencies in the world.
2. Satoshi Nakamoto will be considered for the Nobel Prize for Economics but can’t be nominated because they don’t know his identity.
3. A Bitcoin ETF will finally be approved, but won’t go live for trading until Q3 of 2024.
4. The Bitcoin ETF approval will be a “sell the news” event, and Ethereum will outperform BTC for the first half of 2024.

6. Crypto payments will become hot as Stripe will acquire BitPay.
