1. Bitcoin may soar past $150K by January, says Derive!
Bitcoin and Ethereum's derivatives market signals modest chances for fresh highs by January, with a 6% probability for BTC to hit $150K and 10.5% for ETH to reach $6K, according to Derive's Sean Dawson. After Bitcoinâs historic climb above $100K last week, the market has stabilized, with BTC currently hovering near $99,260. Weekend trading has reduced volatility, offering consolidation after significant price swings. Investor excitement surges as President-elect Trumpâs pro-Bitcoin policies and ETF flows from giants like BlackRock reshape the market. The crypto space enters uncharted territory, sparking fresh optimism.
2. Amazon urged to invest 5% assets in BTC
A group of Amazon shareholders is urging the company to allocate **5% of its assets to Bitcoin** as a hedge against inflation. The proposal, backed by the National Center for Public Policy Research, highlights Bitcoinâs strong performance compared to traditional assets like corporate bonds. It points to successful Bitcoin investments by companies such as MicroStrategy and Tesla. The shareholders argue that adding Bitcoin to Amazon's treasury would protect long-term shareholder value and diversify assets. Amazon has not responded publicly, though it has shown interest in blockchain tech. The proposal will be reviewed ahead of Amazonâs 2025 annual meeting.
3. Dogecoin active addresses hit record highs, but $1 remains elusive
Dogecoinâs active addresses have surged to an all-time high of 9.52 million, reflecting growing user engagement and adoption. This increase sparked speculation that DOGE could reach $1 soon. However, a decline in trading volume, which dropped from $15 billion to $6.6 billion, suggests that the momentum may not last. On the technical front, Dogecoinâs price has dropped below the 20-period Exponential Moving Average (EMA), signaling a potential downtrend. While DOGE might still rise if it surpasses the EMA, its price could struggle to break past $0.48, and it may decline further if current trends continue.
4. Ripple's Garlinghouse sees 2024 election as a chance to educate voters
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse discussed the impact of crypto-backed political action committees (PACs) in the 2024 election, calling it a "major victory" for crypto. He highlighted that 85% of candidates supported by the Fairshake PAC, a non-partisan effort, won their races. The PAC, which supported both Democrats and Republicans, helped supercharge campaigns with crucial funding. Garlinghouse emphasized the importance of educating voters on crypto, pointing out significant wins in Michigan and Arizona. He also noted former President Donald Trump's shift in stance, embracing crypto during his campaign, a key moment in the election.
