China's stimulus packages announced to boost the economy have led to mixed reactions in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin has remained more closely tied to US markets, while China-based altcoins have seen remarkable gains. Experts believe the stimulus could have long-term implications for the crypto market

While Bitcoin has historically usually declined in September, it had a positive performance in 2024. This positive development was supported by the Fed's surprise decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points. Bitcoin's strong performance and macroeconomic developments give promising signals for the cryptocurrency market.

Cryptocurrencies have recently started to move more in line with traditional financial instruments. Bitcoin has moved away from being an independent alternative even in times of crisis and is directly affected by global economic and geopolitical developments. This leads to cryptocurrencies being seen as a part of the existing economic system rather than an alternative financial instrument.

Meme coins became a significant trend during the last bull market, offering investors the potential for rapid gains while also leading to swift and substantial losses. Experts highlight that the speculative nature of these coins contributed to market instability and the short-lived duration of the bull run. Over the past year, the top 10 meme coins experienced an average decline of 63.73%, and while some coins have shown signs of recovery, the overall picture suggests that investing in meme coins remains a risky endeavor.

In the US presidential elections, there were significant changes in the process with Donald Trump's assassination attempt and Joe Biden's COVID-19. While Trump attracts attention with his promises supporting Bitcoin, Kamala Harris takes a constructive approach to cryptocurrencies. Robert F. Kennedy Jr promises to buy as much Bitcoin as the US gold reserve. The importance of cryptocurrencies stands out throughout the election campaigns.

Following the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs, spot ETFs for Ethereum were also launched and attracted great interest. The entry of institutional investors into this area caused Ether ETFs to attract large volumes. While high trading volumes were recorded in the early days, market volatility and selling pressures led to declines on some days. During the six-day trading period, spot Ether ETFs showed a mixed performance; however, this development is considered an important step in terms of institutional acceptance of Ethereum.

We have compiled the recent trend of tap-to-earn and the projects that stand out and attract attention.

As the Bitexen Research Team, in this section, we discussed the implications of the decision in the SEC vs. Ripple case and evaluated what could happen in the future. Enjoy listening!
