Crypto Comeback: Market Soars as Buyers Scoop Up Discounted BTC

18 Jul 20242min
Crypto Market Overview
Like the sun rising in the East, the crypto market has rebounded after a 20+% drawdown in recent weeks. Germany was largely responsible by unloading ~US$3bn of seized Bitcoin. Ultimately, the market proved that there are many buyers looking to scoop up Bitcoin at a discount as the opportunity arises.
Bitcoin is back up over US$65,000 as of writing pulling the rest of the market with it, notable gains in the meme space too with market leaders PEPE, WIF and MOG up 40+% over 7 days.
There are some fascinating narratives to keep an eye on:
  • Trump is due to talk at a major Bitcoin conference, his running mate (JD Vance) is vocal in his support of crypto.
  • Ethereum ETF rumours point to it going live early next week (Tuesday) 🚀
  • Mt. Gox distributions - the ones we spoke about last week - are due to begin any day now.
While global unrest typically forces selloffs of onrisk assets like crypto, there is a growing sentiment that borderless stores of value carry value during these periods also. Gold is a great example of this, recently Larry Fink (leader of the largest asset manager on Earth) named Bitcoin “Digital Gold” which may signal a shift in the way institutions consider digital assets.
