Bitcoin gets a strong new year start

The cryptocurrency market had a strong beginning in 2024. Bitcoin, a major cryptocurrency, saw significant gains because people were excited about the possibility of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approving BlackRock's application for a Bitcoin ETF. This caused the price of Bitcoin to go above $45,500, the highest it had been since April 2022. To put it into perspective, the price had increased by a whopping 194.78% from its lowest point in November 2022, showing a major upward trend.

Reason for the surge

The main reason for this surge was the anticipation surrounding BlackRock's ETF application, which continued to push the price of Bitcoin higher. Experts believe that Bitcoin will be a hot topic in the market throughout the year. Another popular cryptocurrency, Ether, also experienced gains during the weekend and subsequent trading sessions, reaching levels similar to those seen in May 2022. While it didn't surpass its recent highs, Ether has followed a similar upward trend as Bitcoin.

Overall, the cryptocurrency market has had a positive start in 2024, mainly because people are excited about the possibility of BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF being approved. This has attracted significant investor interest and caused the prices of both Bitcoin and Ether to rise to impressive levels. It's something worth paying attention to as these cryptocurrencies are seen as potentially profitable investments in the market.

    • Staking is the cornerstone for Network security in proof of stake (pos) and 32 ETH requirement for becoming a validator remain a stumbling block to many potential participants in Eth transition to pos. This was why one analyst recently praised Puffer Finance and claim it could increase participation since users can participate in Ethereum staking with as little as 1 or 2 ETH, especially with the anti-Slashing Technology. I didn’t pay much attention to his analysis since I didn’t have 1 eth to stake during the testnet stage but will this have any impact on eth staking participation?  
    • What caught my eye is their focus on empowering creators in the crypto world. As someone who's always been interested in the creator economy, I'm really curious to see how their MUA7648 protocol works. Apparently, it helps with the "modularization of AI agent assets" and supports unlimited issuance. Not entirely sure what that means in practice, but it sounds promising! Oh, and get this - they're running a trading event with a 500,000 MUA prize pool! 🎁 If you're interested, you need to register first. Trading starts on October 10th at 07:00 UTC. I've been reading up on their ecosystem, and it's pretty comprehensive. They've got MUA Academy for learning, MUA Cantina as a marketplace, MUA Labs for innovation, and something called MUAverse. With over 5,000 certified creators already on board, it seems like they're building a solid community.
    • With the uncertain nature of the market and insignificant airdrop rewards, exploring other strategies is a no brainer. While assessing liquid staking as a valid option, Puffer Finance reward easily appeals for its rewards and flexibility. With Puffer, anyone can benefit from both PoS and restaking earnings. Users can also stake ETH and receive liquid restaking token pufETH which appreciates as validators are added. In addition to its Liquid restaking rewards, PUFFER token's listing on Bitget is imminent providing various earning opportunities including a launchpool, PoolX etc. Puffer Finance has seen an exponential adoption since launch, could this listing and the opportunities it will unlock fast track its adoption?
