Not a good day to look at the charts.

Tuesday Trades

Good morning. Crypto prices have retreated significantly yesterday, although Ethereum is now back at $1,000 and Bitcoin at $34,000. Still not a good day to look at the charts, but compared to the prices one month ago, this is definitely up.

Welcome to Tuesday Trades, part of our new series: BitPinas Daily.  We will look back at all the major news and updates that happened this week. Crypto is global, but sometimes news that matters happens while we sleep. So we bring to you what’s happening in our space here and abroad.

Bakkt

Eye-popping projection for $3t crypto market underpins Bakkt deal

(By Bradley Keoun, Coindesk) Cryptocurrencies could grow fivefold by 2025 into a $3 trillion market, under new projections from Bakkt Holdings, the digital-asset financial firm. Bakkt published the estimate as part of an investor presentation released Monday in connection with its new plan to go public via a merger with Victory Park Capital, a special-purpose acquisition company. Bakkt is majority-owned by Intercontinental Exchange Inc., which also owns the New York Stock Exchange. The deal would give Bakkt an enterprise value of about $2.1 billion, according to a press release.

The underlying assumptions behind the transaction show just how bullish investors, entrepreneurs and financial executives have become over the past year on the fast-paced digital-asset industry, especially after prices for bitcoin (BTC, -4.52%), the largest cryptocurrency, quadrupled in 2020.

Crypto Rally

Profit taking? Institutional crypto fund inflows drop 97% in three weeks

(By Samuel Haig, Cointelegraph) Capital inflows into crypto funds and investment products plummeted during the first week of January after posting new all-time highs in late-December. 

According to crypto fund manager CoinShares’ Jan. 11 Digital Asset Fund Flows report, the first week of trading in the new year saw just $29 million flow into institutional crypto products. That’s a greater than 97% decline from the $1.09 billion invested during the week before Christmas. Volumes are likely to have been dampened by traders taking holidays over the new year.

Bitcoin

‘Bitcoin is Amazon’ in early 2000s, says former Trump advisor

(By Liam Frost, Decrypt) Anthony Scaramucci, American financier and founder of global investment firm SkyBridge Capital, compared Bitcoin (BTC) to the early days of Amazon, during a recent episode of “The What Bitcoin Did” podcast published on January 4.

“I think Bitcoin is Amazon [in] 2000, 2001 or 2002. It’s out there, it’s a winner, but it’s still in the very, very early stages of it. And by the way, if you looked at Amazon stock chart ‘97 to ‘02, you’re like ‘Oh geez, I missed this.’ The thing went from a fraction of a share to a gigantic amount of market capitalization,” said Scaramucci.
