With the deadline approaching for the US Securities and Exchange Commission's decision on a Bitcoin ETF, expectations are high. Analyst Alex Kruger presents a base case scenario where a positive approval would result in an immediate upside move in Bitcoin's price. However, he also speculates that the price might drop below pre-approval levels into the launch, cleaning up leveraged monkeys. Kruger believes that sooner rather than later would make more sense for the launch. In the event of a SEC rejection, he warns of a rapid price collapse. Despite the uncertainty, Bitcoin's performance in 2023 has been outstanding, outperforming traditional assets and rallying from $28K to nearly $45K. With a strong Sharpe Ratio, Bitcoin remains a highly sought-after asset.

Bitcoin ETF Base Case Scenario Presented by Analyst as Big Date Nears Expectations are rising ahead of the Jan. 10 deadline for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to decide whether to give its first blessing for a spot Bitcoin ETF. According to a Reuters report, the SEC "may" notify issuers as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday that they have been cleared to launch spot bitcoin ETFs the following week. Along these lines, Alex Kruger, a crypto analyst, presents what he calls a "Bitcoin ETF base case scenario," which he anticipates will happen around Jan. 8-10. In a positive scenario wherein a Bitcoin spot ETF gains approval, Kruger predicts the Bitcoin price's immediate reaction to be an upside move, citing the rationale that this is currently 90% priced in. Bitcoin ETF base case scenario: #1 When: Jan/8-Jan/10 #2 Immediate reaction: up on approval (rationale: currently 90% priced-in) #3 Follow-up: drop below pre-approval point into launch ~2 weeks later, cleaning up all late levered monkeys (rationale: market very hot now, with… pic.x.com/2e1xyr5oda— Alex Krüger (@krugermacro) December 31, 2023 As a follow-up to this, Kruger predicts that the Bitcoin price might drop below the ETH pre-approval levels (if approved) into launch nearly two weeks later. He adds that this remains speculation given that there is no official date for the launch; it might be days after approval or much later, considering how many ETFs are in the race. However, Kruger believes that sooner rather than later makes more sense. In what might follow after the launch of a Bitcoin spot ETF, Kroger predicts strong inflows or volume to reestablish the upward trend. On the other hand, if inflows are weak, prices may fall as front-runners dump into a few bids. In a bearish scenario where the Bitcoin spot ETF gets rejected by the SEC, Kruger predicts that prices might rapidly collapse. Either way, he urges traders to be on alert in January. Bitcoin set to close 2023 as one of best-performing assets Bitcoin is set to close the year as one of the top-performing assets, up more than 160% and beating all major traditional assets even in risk-adjusted terms, thanks to ETF hype. Optimism about a spot BTC ETF began to grow after BlackRock filed, and since then, BTC has rallied from $28K to nearly $45K. According to Kaiko, despite a fairly dull middle of the year, Bitcoin has one of the strongest Sharpe Ratios of any major asset this year, second only to semiconductor behemoth Nvidia, whose shares more than doubled from January to May on AI hype. At the time of writing, BTC was up 1.2% in the last 24 hours to $42,620. #CryptoNews

The recent lifting of the crypto transaction ban by the Central Bank of Nigeria presents a great opportunity for Yellow Card, the Nigerian crypto exchange, to gain more legitimacy and integration with the traditional financial system. With increased banking support, the peer-to-peer market will evolve, fostering competition and innovation in the Nigerian crypto space. Yellow Card anticipates a spike in cryptocurrency usage in Nigeria by 2024, thanks to the CBN's new guidelines. This will create a more structured and regulated environment for crypto transactions. The reentry of banks will also bring increased competition and transaction efficiency, which will benefit the ecosystem. The CBN guidelines may also lead to collaboration between traditional financial institutions and the crypto space, opening the doors for greater integration and cooperation between the two sectors.

Nigeria’s Yellow Card anticipates crypto boom as central bank lifts ban Nigerian crypto exchange Yellow Card believes the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) recent guidelines lifting the crypto transaction ban present an opportunity for more legitimacy and integration with the traditional financial system and its dealings with crypto transactions, potentially expanding its user base. In an interview with Cointelegraph, the chief data protection officer and vice president of legal, commercial and product at Yellow Card, Lasbery Oludimu, said the peer-to-peer market — once dominant during the ban — will change with increased banking support. This shift may foster competition and innovation in the Nigerian crypto space. Oludimu confirmed that the exchange believes cryptocurrency usage will spike in Nigeria in 2024 due to the CBN’s new guidelines and the lifting of the ban on crypto transactions. She said this directive would ensure and facilitate a more structured and regulated environment for crypto transactions. The Yellow Card executive said the reentry of banks would introduce increased competition and enhanced transaction efficiency, which isn’t bad for the ecosystem. Oludimu emphasized that the CBN guidelines could encourage collaboration with traditional financial institutions to explore opportunities within the crypto space, paving the way for greater integration and cooperation between traditional finance and digital assets. #CryptoNews

Traders in the NFT market are utilizing tax loss harvesting to sell their worthless tokens in order to offset capital gains on their taxes before the year-end deadline. With many NFT projects abandoned or inactive, there is a growing need for platforms like Harvest.Art, Unsellable NFTs, and Sol Incinerator, which aim to purchase these worthless NFTs to assist traders. Traditional investors have long been strategic in tax planning, but NFT investors, who often lack experience in end-of-year tax strategies, can benefit from these services. Each platform has a different business model, with Unsellable offering to buy NFTs for one penny and charging a service fee, while Harvest pays one gwei for each NFT sold and provides bid tickets as well. These platforms aim to profit from the cyclical nature of the NFT market. As the year comes to a close, it is important for crypto traders to consider their tax obligations, especially with the IRS's increased focus on crypto tax evasion.

In the rush to secure a spot for the coveted Bitcoin ETF, Invesco Galaxy, Bitwise, WisdomTree, and Fidelity have submitted their Form S-1 applications to the SEC on the last day possible. Invesco Galaxy, WisdomTree, and Fidelity have even announced their authorized participants, with Invesco Galaxy choosing Virtu and JPMorgan, while WisdomTree and Fidelity have selected Jane Street Capital. Despite the SEC's urging to switch to cash, WisdomTree has decided to maintain in-kind share creation and redemption. Furthermore, a price war seems to be brewing among the competitors, as Invesco Galaxy has waived its fee for the first six months and the first $5 billion in assets, while Fidelity has set its fee at 0.39%. This is certainly an exciting development in the cryptocurrency world.
