As Bitcoin continues to captivate investors worldwide by flirting with new historical highs, an unexpected voice rises to temper the euphoria surrounding the queen of crypto: that of Ki Young Ju, CEO of CryptoQuant, a benchmark in the industry. In a context where markets are buoyed by the prospect of Fed rate cuts and the repercussions of the recent U.S. presidential elections, Ki Young Ju makes a strange and far from optimistic prediction. According to him, Bitcoin could experience a drop of nearly 24% by the end of 2024, with a level around $58,974. This prediction, although out of step with the current enthusiasm, is based on a meticulous analysis of past trends and market data.

The relations between the two largest global economic powers, the United States and China, are once again at the heart of trade tensions. Barely elected, Donald Trump is reinforcing his intentions to pursue a no-holds-barred protectionist policy, seeking to impose record tariffs on Chinese imports. This approach echoes his first term, where heavy tariffs created a precedent in the Sino-American trade war. But this time, in a post-pandemic context where the global economy is still fragile, the repercussions could prove to be more significant. While Beijing advocates for dialogue, the world is bracing for a new phase of commercial confrontation with potentially global effects.

Thus, some analysts, like Edward Wilson from Nansen, believe that such a product could diversify investment options and also strengthen Ether's position as a strategic asset. This scenario, although conditioned by the political context, could change the dynamics of the crypto market in the United States and open unprecedented opportunities for investors.
