When will crypto investors finally see the massive gains they’ve been dreaming about since 2021? The wait might soon be over. April 2024 is shaping up as the starting gun for crypto’s next major bull run, coinciding perfectly with Bitcoin’s next halving event. And this time, the institutional money is actually showing up.
Regulatory clarity is finally happening. About time. The landscape that once resembled the Wild West is gradually transforming into something Wall Street can stomach. Major banks aren’t laughing anymore—they’re opening their vaults to digital assets. Donald Trump’s administration is expected to create a crypto-friendly environment for investors and businesses alike.
The numbers being thrown around aren’t small. Bitcoin projections range from $150,000 to a whopping $250,000 by the end of 2025. The stock-to-flow model suggests $288,000. Even the conservative analysts are tossing out $100,000 figures like it’s nothing.
Sure, we’ve heard these predictions before. But this time the macroeconomic factors actually align.
This time feels different because the economic stars are finally aligning for crypto’s moment
Altcoins won’t be left behind. Ethereum could hit $10,000 to $15,000 as DeFi and NFTs continue their growth trajectory. Layer-2 solutions are finally making things usable. Interoperability is becoming more than just a buzzword.
And yes, meme coins will probably do something ridiculous again. Because of course they will.
The total crypto market cap might exceed $5 trillion. That’s trillion with a T. Bitcoin’s dominance will likely bounce between 40-50% as institutional money flows in and retail FOMO kicks in again. Stablecoins alone could surpass $500 billion in market cap.
It’s not all sunshine and rainbows though. Regulatory crackdowns could still happen. Global financial instability looms. Hackers never sleep. And someone will inevitably bring up Bitcoin’s energy consumption. If history repeats itself, this bull run could last about 12 to 18 months before a significant market correction occurs.
Traditional finance is changing too. Banks that once mocked crypto are now offering services. Blockchain is infiltrating systems that haven’t changed in decades. The remittance industry should be worried.
The crypto winter has been long and brutal. But spring might finally be coming. For real this time. Maybe.
