    Buy Bitcoin ‘now’ says Bernstein as ‘headwinds are now tailwinds’

    The note, released early on Wednesday, states that with Donald Trump having won the U.S. presidential race and a likely GOP-controlled Senate, the long-standing regulatory headwinds for crypto could turn into “a tailwind,” potentially unlocking significant growth in the market.”The market is nowhere close to factoring in this shift,” Bernstein analysts state, highlighting the potential for accelerated regulatory clarity in the crypto space.They believe the impact of the shift was already evident, with Bitcoin recently breaking all-time highs, reaching over $74,000. The broader crypto market reacted positively, with Ethereum up 8% to $2,600 and Solana surging 16% to $160.Bernstein expects this trend to continue, stating, “We recommend buying the Bitcoin strength here,” and suggests taking advantage of potential marginal dips as an enhanced buying opportunity.Bernstein identifies several areas of anticipated regulatory progress, including clearer definitions for digital assets, broker/dealer law applicability to exchanges and DeFi platforms, and accelerated approvals for crypto-based ETFs.”We expect bipartisan support for crypto rule-making on an accelerated time schedule,” they note, with a specific focus on a stablecoin bill and a market structure bill to provide clarity for crypto exchanges and broker-dealers.Looking forward, Bernstein is bullish on Bitcoin miners such as Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:RIOT), CleanSpark (NASDAQ:CLSK), Core Scientific (CORZ), and Iris Energy (IREN) as high-beta trades to Bitcoin.The firm also recommends MicroStrategy (MSTR) due to its extensive Bitcoin treasury program and Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) as a top play to capture surging retail crypto interest.With Bitcoin currently on a strong upward trajectory, Bernstein remains committed to its $200,000 price target for 2025, seeing this as the start of a “new Bitcoin bull cycle.” More

    570 Million XRP in One Hour – What’s Happening?

    This coincided with a massive price surge demonstrated by the Ripple-affiliated cryptocurrency over the last day as XRP touched the $0.57825 price level.The second and the largest transfer was performed by San Francisco-based blockchain juggernaut Ripple headed by Brad Garlinghouse. Both transfers took place within a single hour.Ripple made this mammoth-sized XRP transfer to an anonymous blockchain address. However, data shared by XRP-focused explorer Bithomp shows that this wallet was also affiliated with Ripple. After these 470 million XRP landed on it, Bithomp noticed an outgoing transfer carrying 100,000,000 XRP in an unknown direction, too. The motives behind this enormous XRP transfer initiated by the blockchain heavyweight remain unknown, however, Ripple frequently performs such transactions which result in XRP sales. The proceeds are used by the company to cover its operations and (over the past four years) legal expenses in its case against the SEC regulator.These ATHs were reached after a new political development (a drastic change in government leader) in the U.S. on Nov. 5, with the results officially announced the following day.Following Bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies demonstrated big price surges as well. Among them was XRP, which soared by almost 10% in the last 24 hours, briefly hitting $0.57825. By now, it has experienced a pullback of 4% and is changing hands at $0.55601 on major exchange Bitstamp.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Bitcoin price today: steadies near $75k as Trump victory sparks crypto rally

    But while Bitcoin’s rally cooled, other major altcoins extended their recent gains, given that they were still trading at a significant discount to their 2021 record highs. Bitcoin steadied at $74,794.7 by 00:19 ET (05:19 GMT). The world’s biggest crypto surged to a record high of $76,401.4 on Wednesday. Gains in Bitcoin came as Trump pulled ahead of Kamala Harris in early vote counting, before being declared as the president-elect later on Wednesday. Trump had presented a largely pro-crypto stance, promising to introduce friendly regulation if elected, while also potentially giving Bitcoin more credibility as an investment vehicle. Bitcoin rose sharply on this notion, crossing record highs last seen in March 2024. Broader cryptocurrency prices also rose, while crypto stocks, such as Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ:COIN) and Marathon Digital Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MARA), clocked strong gains.Trump’s swift victory also helped clear a major point of uncertainty for markets, sparking a rally across risk-driven assets. U.S. stock indexes rallied to record highs on Wednesday.But this rally now appeared to be cooling, as focus turned to the conclusion of a Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday. The central bank is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points.The dollar steadied at four-month highs before the Fed meeting, also stifling further gains in risk-driven assets.Traders were skittish ahead of any signals on future rate cuts from the Fed, especially in the face of a Trump presidency and recent stickiness in inflation.While Bitcoin’s rally cooled, major altcoins saw extended gains as traders bet on a bull run akin to that seen in 2021.World no.2 crypto Ether rose nearly 10% to a three-month high of $2,848.60.SOL, XRP, ADA and MATIC surged between 1.8% and 7%, while DOGE cooled after strong gains in recent sessions, falling 5.8%.Most major altcoins were still trading at significant discounts to record highs hit in 2021, having largely lagged Bitcoin over the past three years.

    Dormant Bitcoin Millionaire From 2013 Makes Epic Comeback

    However, their movement may upset some, as the address holder of these BTCs under the code “1QHvbR” were transferred to the wallet of major U.S.-based exchange Kraken.According to the general consensus among crypto-market participants, such transfers are interpreted as the intention of a large investor to sell their assets by moving them from their own custody to a liquid cryptocurrency buying and selling platform.This was likely the reason in our case, as the transfer occurred on the day Bitcoin hit a new high. Back in March, the price of one BTC was less than $100, and the cryptocurrency itself had just experienced its first bull run. But 12 years later, the price of Bitcoin is already over $75,000, and the asset itself is a full-fledged, institutionalized financial instrument with tens of millions of holders and a capitalization of nearly $1.5 trillion.However, this unknown Bitcoin investor did not transfer all 235 BTC to Kraken, and most of the position remained in his wallet. Now, according to on-chain data, “1QHvbR” continues to hold 125.55 BTC, which equals about $9.31 million. The question is whether these Bitcoins will be realized on some exchange, or whether the unknown investor will disappear again for a few years before resurfacing.This article was originally published on U.Today More
