Bitwise Invest, an investment firm specializing in the crypto space, recently unveiled its anticipated crypto <a href="https://x.com/RasterlyRock/status/1734956139580936658?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">predictions </a>for 2024. 
These projections provide a glimpse into the future of the cryptocurrency industry, highlighting major milestones and potential breakthroughs for the largest cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum (ETH), and exchanges like Coinbase.&nbsp; 
<h2 id="bitcoin-predicted-to-smash-records">Bitcoin Predicted To Smash Records</h2> 
Bitwise’s first prediction suggests that Bitcoin will surpass previous records and trade above $80,000, setting a new all-time high. The firm attributes this bullish outlook to two key catalysts: the imminent launch of a <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/bitcoin-news/secs-crypto-asset-securities-alert-boosts-spot-bitcoin-etf-prospects-heres-why/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund</a> (ETF) early in 2024 and the anticipated halving of new Bitcoin supply by the end of April.&nbsp; 
Furthermore, Bitwise expects the spot Bitcoin ETFs to be approved and to collectively become the most successful ETF launch in history. 
Interestingly, Bitwise also forecasts that <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/coinbase/coinbase-introduces-new-features-for-global-remittances/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Coinbase</a>, one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges, will witness its revenue double, surpassing Wall Street expectations by at least 10 times.&nbsp;

The firm points out that Coinbase’s trading volumes typically surge during bull markets, and they anticipate a similar trend in 2024. Additionally, Bitwise highlights Coinbase’s successful launch of various new products that have gained traction in the market. 
On the other hand, the investment firm predicts that more money will settle using stablecoins compared to traditional payment giant <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/news/solana/visas-stablecoin-payments-on-solana-propel-sol-to-5-gain-bulls-eye-price-breakout/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">Visa</a>. Bitwise highlights stablecoins as one of crypto’s “killer apps” and notes their remarkable growth from virtually zero to a $137 billion market in just four years. Bitwise anticipates 2024 to be another significant year for stablecoin expansion. 
<h2 id="ethereum-set-for-major-breakthrough">Ethereum Set For Major Breakthrough</h2> 
Bitwise expects Ethereum’s revenue to more than double from $2.3 billion in 2023 to $5 billion in 2024. The firm attributes this <a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-price-consolidates-2275/" target="_blank" rel="noopener ">growth </a>to the increasing number of users flocking to crypto applications. Bitwise emphasizes Ethereum’s potential as one of the fastest-growing large-scale tech platforms globally.

Furthermore, Bitwise anticipates a major upgrade to Ethereum, labeled EIP-4844, which could reduce average transaction costs to below $0.01. This significant cost reduction is expected to pave the way for mainstream adoption and the development of groundbreaking applications within the crypto ecosystem. 
Bitwise’s bonus prediction suggests that by the end of 2024, one in four financial advisors will allocate funds to cryptocurrencies in their clients’ accounts. The firm foresees<a href="https://www.newsbtc.com/analysis/eth/ethereum-price-dives-to-2000/" target="_blank" rel="noopener "> increased adoption </a>by financial advisors once Bitcoin becomes easily accessible and mainstream. 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large" src="https://www.tradingview.com/x/BDNtYCyB/" alt="Ethereum " width="1815" height="858"> 
In summary, Bitwise Invest’s crypto predictions for 2024 paint an exciting future for the cryptocurrency market. With expectations of a new all-time high for Bitcoin, the successful launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, and revenue growth for industry giants like Coinbase and Ethereum, the crypto space is poised for significant advancements in the coming years. 
As of the current update, ETH is trading at $2,200, reflecting a 1.4% increase over the past 24 hours. This positive movement follows a similar trend set by BTC. However, Ethereum has experienced a slight decline of 2.4% in the past seven days.
