Crypto projects need more visionary funding for long-term growth

January 16, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

It’s time to move past market hype and focus on sustainable development.

Opinion by: Kori Higgins, director of investor relations and growth at the Web3 Foundation

The euphoria that erupted in crypto markets following the outcome of the US presidential race solidified Bitcoin’s status as a mature asset class in the eyes of the global investor community. The recent market backdrop unleashed arguably the most potent crypto bull run in its 16-year history, pushing the price of Bitcoin (BTC) past the $100,000 barrier.

The fervent activity of institutional investors further propelled Bitcoin’s recent price rally. While most in Web3 welcome the inflow of institutional money into crypto, the level at which these investors will drive innovations forward and support true breakthroughs in Web3 technology is questionable.

Cryptocurrency investment should favor emerging markets

December 26, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Adoption

Crypto investment should more closely follow adoption patterns in emerging markets.

Opinion by: Ayush Ranjan, co-founder and CEO of Huddle01

Many claim Web3 is just a speculative playground because of its power to mint millionaires overnight, and because memes seemingly win out over actual utility. Long-term builders and dreamers can quickly lose faith in the industry’s future. Despite the media narratives, there are bright spots.

Blockchain and crypto are genuinely benefiting humanity, especially in emerging markets. There are fundamental societal shifts as Web3 technology helps the underserved and underbanked and combats the deficiencies in modern traditional institutions in finance and beyond.

December 10, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

MicroStrategy’s stock premium has benefited from a virtuous cycle in the bull market. It will eventually reverse course.

US Bitcoin reserve is possible to achieve but not without downsides

December 2, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Adoption

Government participation in crypto hasn’t always had great outcomes for the space, with the SEC under the Biden administration causing plenty of headaches for firms.

During his 2024 election campaign, United States President-elect Donald Trump made many crypto-related promises, including establishing a “strategic Bitcoin stockpile.” The idea has since picked up steam both in the United States and abroad.

While there has been plenty of talk, a clear roadmap and timeline for the implementation of a Bitcoin (BTC) strategic reserve haven’t been hashed out by lawmakers yet.

Speaking to Cointelegraph, Tim Ogilive, global head of institutional at crypto exchange Kraken, said at its core, establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve is a “straightforward process.”
