The Future of Cryptocurrency Investment: Trends to Watch in 2024
This blog post explores several key events and trends that could have impact on crypto investments in 2024
There is no dispute that Crypto is volatile. Just like foreign currency exchange and other stocks, everyone wants to guess what the next move is going to be. Just like a game of chess, where you plan your next step very carefully - it will be wise to consider the following key events in 2024 that could have an impact on your cryptocurrency investments.
The US Elections: One of the main events in 2024
At the time of writing, just about a week ago most people were extremely sure the Democratic nominee was likely going to be Joe Biden. However, this has changed and so are the US elections. According to prediction websites such as ElectionBettingOdds, Polymarket and Predictit these elections are heading towards a dead heat race. This could cause financial stocks as well as crypto prices to swiftly swing and be volatile.
Geopolitical tensions around the world
The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the tensions between Israel and the Hamas & Hezbollah can affect crypto investments as well. For example, in March 2024 the US and the UK levied sanctions against several individuals and institutions for fundraising Hamas using Crypto. Such events trigger the need for more regulation which is going to have a direct impact on crypto investments as well.
