Bitcoin to Six Figures? The Bull Case for BTC in 2024

  • Bitcoin’s price in 2024 is expected to hit a record high, driven by several factors. 
  • An ETF approval, BTC halving, and Interest rate cuts are identified as potential price drivers. 
  • Experts predict Bitcoin could hit $125K by the end of 2024.

As 2023 draws to a close, the cryptocurrency market’s recent resurgence has prompted speculations of a much more positive performance in the upcoming year. Crypto enthusiasts are anticipating the leading digital asset, Bitcoin, to set new records and onboard new crypto natives. 

The expectations for a bullish 2024 hinge on several factors, which experts predict could drive higher price movement—notably, a widely expected spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval by the US Securities and Exchange Commission in January. 

Going by analysts’ estimations, an ETF approval is expected in the early weeks of January. Already, optimism around a possible approval has sent crypto prices up since November, with Bitcoin peaking at $44K and staying above the $40K levels since then. 

According to analysts, a spot Bitcoin-ETF will make the digital asset tradeable on the US stock market. Furthermore, the influx of institutional firms like BlackRock will help onboard new investors to crypto and, thus, a surge in capital inflow, experts say. 

Meanwhile, the Bitcoin halving, expected to happen sometime around April, will likely drive prices up. The event is significant given that it constricts the supply of Bitcoin by slashing the reward miners get for confirming and validating transactions. 

Historically, Bitcoin’s prices often go up before and after the event takes place. Next year, analysts expect nothing different. The 2024 halving will slash mining rewards from 6.25 BTC per block to 3.125 BTC.

Elsewhere, the Federal Reserve’s dovish pivot on interest rates has both the traditional and crypto markets excited. Given the impact of an interest rate cut and how it loosens spending, experts believe it could also aid capital inflow into Bitcoin and the crypto market. 

Moreover, cryptocurrencies have also slipped into the U.S. presidential election scheduled for next year. Particularly, the U.S. has drawn criticism for its regulatory clampdown on crypto entities, especially by the Gary Gensler-led SEC.

As part of his campaign, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised to loosen the regulatory strings around Bitcoin if elected. Furthermore, other candidates, Vivek Ramaswamy, Asa Hutchinson, and Dean Philips, have reportedly pledged to ease regulatory pressures on crypto companies. 

Ultimately, experts predict these factors could drive Bitcoin to a new all-time high in 2024. Matrixport estimates the leading digital asset could peak at $125K by the end of 2024, prompting speculations of a bullish 2024 for crypto assets.
