The London-based investment management firm Farside Investors is also keeping an eye on ETH. According to the firm, inflows into Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are ramping up . “Ethereum ETF inflow starting to pick up. $576 million total net inflow since the launch as of 29 Nov 2024.” Moving on to the top crypto asset by market cap, Martinez says that if Bitcoin ( BTC ) continues to follow its historical pattern, it should hit a price tag well above $100,000 by the end of the year. “Historically, Bitcoin BTC has surged in the December following US Presidential elections, with gains of 30% and 46% in the last two cycles. If history repeats, we could see BTC closing the year in the $125,000-$140,000 range!” Source: Ali Martinez/X The analyst also says that the Fear and Greed Index – which tracks investor sentiment – suggests that market participants are feeling overexuberant. “The market is heating up, with the Fear and Greed Index flashing ‘extreme greed.’ But remember, during the last Bitcoin BTC bull run, a similar sentiment – extreme greed – accompanied a rally from $15,000 to $57,000!” Source: Ali Martinez/X Bitcoin is trading for $97,494 at time of writing, a 1.56% increase during the last 24 hours.
