Arthur Hayes, BitMEX founder, predicts that most Layer-1 blockchains will fail, leaving only Ethereum and Solana as viable networks. He also forecasts the continuation of the bull market, driven by U.S. political factors, and a new trend towards privacy-focused cryptocurrencies in the coming year.

After a sharp correction, the crypto market rebounds with bitcoin leading the recovery. Analysts remain optimistic, with some predicting new all-time highs by January.

The crypto market is calm with Bitcoin holding steady around $91,400. While the market cap is slightly up, altcoins show more volatility, with Quant leading gains and KuCoin’s token seeing significant losses.

Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are down today, but investors remain hopeful for a year-end rally. The Fear & Greed Index shows fear, but sentiment has improved.

After weeks of declines, the crypto market rebounds with nearly all top 10 coins posting double-digit gains. Bitcoin rises 10% this week to $92,500, Ethereum gains 12% to $3,082, and XRP leads with a 17% weekly increase.

Bitcoin’s price is stuck in a tightening range after hitting $92,000, facing strong selling pressure. With US markets returning from a short holiday, the broader crypto market is also seeing minor losses, with altcoins like Solana and Cardano leading the decline.

Bitcoin reclaimed the $90,000 level on Thanksgiving, a historically bullish move for the holiday. The broader crypto market followed suit, with Ethereum and other major altcoins posting significant gains, while analysts note the unusual nature of the pre-holiday rally.

Bitcoin surged over 3% yesterday, its best day in six weeks, climbing past $91,000 and suggesting the recent downturn may have ended. Altcoins followed the rally, with Kaspa, known as ‘Bitcoin 2.0’, leading the top 100 with a 17% surge.

Solana ETFs have seen net inflows for 20 consecutive days, accumulating nearly €500 million since their launch. However, the SOL price has not followed suit, declining over 30% in the past month despite the strong institutional interest.

The crypto market shows slight gains with a total cap above $3 trillion, but Bitcoin remains volatile and down 30% from its October peak. Analysts are split on whether the recent dip was the bottom or if further declines are likely.
