<p>2023 has been a rollercoaster for cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as Matrixport’s prediction from February 2023, foreseeing a year-end price of $45,000, seems closer to reality with each passing day. Markus Thielen, Matrixport’s head of research, dissected Bitcoin’s journey throughout the year, dividing it into five distinct phases, each shaped by macroeconomic factors and crowd psychology.</p>

<p>Despite Ether’s commendable 99% climb, Bitcoin’s staggering 164% surge has taken center stage. Thielen attributes this phenomenon to the tumultuous events of 2022 and early 2023 in the crypto space. Issues surrounding crypto lending platforms and banking infrastructure reshaped retail investors’ preferences, redirecting their focus towards the stability of Bitcoin over the riskier altcoins.</p>

<p>Matrixport’s take on the crypto rally points to several factors: big money pouring in—over $7 billion—in stablecoins like USDT and USDC from institutional sources, the Federal Reserve signaling a milder stance on rate hikes, increased activity among miners, the resolution of regulatory issues around Binance, and growing hopes for an SEC-approved <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/breaking-news-sec-in-deep-technical-talks-with-spot-bitcoin-issuers/">Bitcoin ETF</a> in early 2024. </p>
