Bitcoin ETF surge & DeFi growth: Crypto's 2024 landscape unveiled

Cointelegraph Research analyzes the various sectors shaping the post-ETF landscape and discusses the future in the new Investor insights report.

As 2023 fades into the background, the new year has started with significant developments in the cryptocurrency world. January 10th saw the SEC approve 11 U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, a significant milestone in crypto history. After just one week of trading, these ETFs outperformed silver ETPs, making Bitcoin the second-largest exchange-traded commodity by volume. This development has sparked speculation about the potential for spot ETFs for other cryptocurrencies. Coupled with the anticipated Bitcoin halving in April, there’s a strong sentiment of confidence across various sectors about potential price increases, fostering a sense of optimism regarding future value growth.

The February edition of the Cointelegraph Research Monthly Trends Report delves into the industry’s response to the introduction of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, covering a wide range of sectors, including crypto-mining businesses, derivatives markets, the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector, tokenization of real-world assets, among others.
