Boomers Interested In Bitcoin, Market Won’t Allow BlackRock To Buy BTC Below $60k

As institutional interest in Bitcoin grows, Fidelity and BlackRock’s proposed spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) faces an unexpected hurdle: the crypto market’s unwillingness to let go of the coin at bargain prices. Bitcoin To $60,000 In Progress? According to Mike Alfred, who claims to be a value investor and a board director, the market will “unlikely” allow BlackRock to purchase BTC below $60,000. Taking to X on December 4, Alfred said BlackRock and other Wall Street players keen on issuing spot Bitcoin ETFs would have to “buy for Boomer’s 401k plans for at least $60,000.” This preview stems from the rapidly growing demand among institutional investors, as seen by the number of Wall Street players willing to issue complex derivatives tailored for, among other investors, “baby boomers,” most of whom are “approaching retirement.” With their substantial retirement savings, baby boomers increasingly recognize BTC’s potential as a hedge against inflation and a store of value. Related Reading: ADA In The Spotlight: Heavyweight Investors Pile Into Cardano, What’s Next? Following Federal Reserve intervention during the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation rose to multi-year levels in 2021. To preserve purchasing power, the central bank began hiking interest rates. Although inflation has fallen and the economy stabilized, it remains higher than the target of 2%. The Fed continues to track this metric and may further intervene by raising rates to lower inflation. This might impact Bitcoin prices, as seen in the past months. Nonetheless, the potential influx of boomer money into Bitcoin via a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved derivatives product is a big boost for the coin. Though the SEC has yet to authorize multiple spot Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto and Bitcoin market expects the strict regulator to greenlight the first product in the next few weeks. BlackRock And Company To Buy BTC At A Premium Accordingly, ahead of this milestone development for the Bitcoin and crypto market, Alfred thinks BlackRock, Fidelity, and other players won’t secure Bitcoin at spot rates. Instead, the market anticipates that BlackRock, one of the world’s largest digital asset managers, will make their “bi-weekly purchases at prices above $60,000.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Cycle Analysis And Macro Factors Reveal When Price Will Reach $125,000 The coin is trading at April 2022 levels, ripping above $40,000 over the weekend as bulls step up. Looking at the BTC candlestick arrangement on the daily chart, the first clear resistance is around $48,000. The coin trades within a bullish breakout formation following gains above $32,000. As buyers step up and investors anticipate the SEC approving the first batch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, the coin will likely continue increasing toward all-time highs of around $70,000.

Solana TVL Balloons To Over $600 Million – What This Means For SOL Price

A transformative wave is sweeping through the decentralized finance (DeFi) arena, as novel blockchain platforms disrupt the status quo. Standing tall among these challengers is Solana, celebrated for its exceptional throughput and scalability. In a recent turn of events, Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has etched a momentous milestone, thrusting itself into the dynamic DeFi landscape. The surge in Total Value Locked (TVL) to an impressive $655 million signals a watershed moment, underpinned by the escalating interest and unwavering confidence in Solana’s prowess within the DeFi sector. Related Reading: Ethereum Breaks Through $2,200 Ceiling, Investors Expect $3,000 This Week Solana TVL Skyrockets: A Decisive Leap In The DeFi Landscape This surge not only marks a numerical achievement but also underscores the burgeoning significance of Solana as a formidable player in the evolving narrative of decentralized finance. As of October 1st, DefiLlama’s statistics showed that Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) was around $326 million. Nevertheless, further examination revealed a significant increase in TVL by the end of October. SOL TVL. Source: DefiLlama The TVL has soared to over $655 million as of the most recent release, demonstrating an amazing doubling from the October data. It’s not quite at its historical apex, but this increase is the highest TVL in more than a year, indicating a strong and steady growth trend. The most recent numbers indicate a significant growth of almost 200% from Solana’s January 1st $211 million TVL. Solana’s TVL had a sharp decline following the collapse of FTX, falling from just over $10 billion in November 2021 to a low of $210 million in January 2023. SOLUSD currently trading at $61.18 on the daily chart: TradingView.com With this increase, Solana is leading the way in the expansion of decentralized finance. SOL, in particular, beat out the competition and took back Avalanche’s (AVAX) seventh rank with $678.7 million locked up and put to use in its processes. Solana’s Surge: Key Growth Factors There are a number of important reasons that have contributed to Solana’s growth and revival. The demand for Solana-based products, such Ordinals’ “SolScriptions” and other meme coins, has spurred demand and increased token minting on the Solana network. Solana TVL in DeFi chains. Source: DefiLlama Active involvement in liquid staking protocols such as Jito and Marinade Finance has further enhanced the network’s appeal by drawing in new users and improving liquidity. In addition, Solana’s network saw an increase in daily addresses; as of press time, there were 158,000 daily addresses. All of these measures point to increased network traffic. Related Reading: ORDI Shatters Records With New All-Time High In Bullish Surge Not only is Solana’s notable expansion in the DeFi area a testament to the platform’s success, but it also serves as a barometer of the dynamic blockchain environment. It signals a change in the direction of more effective, scalable technology, upending the dominance of established platforms. According to statistics from cryptocurrency market price tracker Coingecko, SOL was trading at $61.94 at the time of writing, up 12% over the previous seven days. As the TVL more than doubles in recent times, attention turns to the potential impact on SOL’s valuation. The dynamic interplay between Solana’s TVL milestones and its cryptocurrency’s price sets the stage for an intriguing narrative in the crypto landscape.
