Bitcoin (BTC) price again reached an all-time high in 2024, as values exceeded over 73,000 USD in March 2024. That particular price hike was connected to the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, whilst previous hikes in 2021 were due to events involving Tesla and Coinbase, respectively. Tesla’s announcement in March 2021 that it had acquired 1.5 billion U.S. dollars’ worth of the digital coin, for example, as well as the IPO of the U.S.’ biggest crypto exchange fueled mass interest. The market was noticeably different by the end of 2022, however, with Bitcoin prices reaching roughly 94,315.98 as of May 4, 2025, after another crypto exchange, FTX, filed for bankruptcy. Is the world running out of Bitcoin? Unlike fiat currency like the U.S. dollar - as the Federal Reserve can simply decide to print more banknotes - Bitcoin’s supply is finite: BTC has a maximum supply embedded in its design, of which roughly 89 percent had been reached in April 2021. It is believed that Bitcoin will run out by 2040, despite more powerful mining equipment. This is because mining becomes exponentially more difficult and power-hungry every four years, a part of Bitcoin’s original design. Because of this, a Bitcoin mining transaction could equal the energy consumption of a small country in 2021. Bitcoin’s price outlook: a potential bubble? Cryptocurrencies have few metrics available that allow for forecasting, if only because it is rumored that only few cryptocurrency holders own a large portion of available supply. These large holders - referred to as “whales” - are said to make up of two percent of anonymous ownership accounts, whilst owning roughly 92 percent of BTC. On top of this, most people who use cryptocurrency-related services worldwide are retail clients rather than institutional investors. This means outlooks on whether Bitcoin prices will fall or grow are difficult to measure, as movements from one large whale already having a significant impact on this market.

In March 2024 Bitcoin BTC reached a new all-time high with prices exceeding 73000 USD marking a milestone for the cryptocurrency market This surge was due to the approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds ETFs in the United States allowing investors to access Bitcoin without directly holding it This development increased Bitcoin’s credibility and brought fresh demand from institutional investors echoing previous price surges in 2021 when Tesla announced its 15 billion investment in Bitcoin and Coinbase was listed on the Nasdaq By the end of 2022 Bitcoin prices dropped sharply to 15000 USD following the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange FTX and its bankruptcy which caused a loss of confidence in the market By August 2024 Bitcoin rebounded to approximately 64178 USD but remained volatile due to inflation and interest rate hikes Unlike fiat currency like the US dollar Bitcoin’s supply is finite with 21 million coins as its maximum supply By September 2024 over 92 percent of Bitcoin had been mined Bitcoin’s value is tied to its scarcity and its mining process is regulated through halving events which cut the reward for mining every four years making it harder and more energy-intensive to mine The next halving event in 2024 will reduce the reward to 3125 BTC from its current 625 BTC The final Bitcoin is expected to be mined around 2140 The energy required to mine Bitcoin has led to criticisms about its environmental impact with estimates in 2021 suggesting that one Bitcoin transaction used as much energy as Argentina Bitcoin’s future price is difficult to predict due to the influence of large holders known as whales who own about 92 percent of all Bitcoin These whales can cause dramatic market swings by making large trades and many retail investors still dominate the market While institutional interest has grown it remains a small fraction compared to retail Bitcoin is vulnerable to external factors like regulatory changes and economic crises leading some to believe it is in a speculative bubble However others argue that Bitcoin is still in its early stages of adoption and will grow further as more institutions and governments recognize its potential as a hedge against inflation and a store of value 2024 has also seen the rise of Bitcoin Layer 2 technologies like the Lightning Network which improve scalability by enabling faster and cheaper transactions These innovations are crucial for Bitcoin’s wider adoption especially for day-to-day use and cross-border remittances At the same time central bank digital currencies CBDCs are gaining traction as several governments including China and the European Union have accelerated the development of their own state-controlled digital currencies while Bitcoin remains decentralized offering financial sovereignty for those who prefer independence from government control The rise of CBDCs is expected to increase interest in Bitcoin as a hedge against these centralized currencies Bitcoin’s journey in 2024 highlights its growing institutional acceptance alongside its inherent market volatility While the approval of Bitcoin ETFs has significantly boosted interest the market remains sensitive to events like exchange collapses and regulatory decisions With the limited supply of Bitcoin and improvements in its transaction efficiency it is expected to remain a key player in the financial world for years to come Whether Bitcoin is currently in a speculative bubble or on a sustainable path to greater adoption will ultimately be revealed over time.

Bitcoin's circulating supply has grown steadily since its inception in 2009, reaching over 19 million coins by early 2025. This gradual increase reflects the cryptocurrency's design, which put a limit of 21 million on the total number of bitcoins that can ever exist. This impacts the Bitcoin price somewhat, as its scarcity can lead to volatility on the market. Maximum supply and scarcity Bitcoin is unusual from other cryptocurrencies in that its maximum supply is getting closer. By 2025, more than 90 percent of all possible Bitcoin had been created. That said, Bitcoin's circulating supply is expected to reach its maximum around the year 2140. Meanwhile, mining becomes exponentially more difficult and energy-intensive. Institutional investors In 2025, countries like the United States openly started discussion the possibility of buying bitcoins to hold in reserve. By the time of writing, it was unclear whether this would happen. Nevertheless, institutional investors displayed more interest in the cryptocurrency than before. Certain companies owned several thousands of Bitcoin tokens in 2025, for example. This and the limited number of Bitcoin may further fuel price volatility.

It is estimated that the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies increased in early 2023 after the downfall in November 2022 due to FTX. That value declined in the summer of 2023, however, as international uncertainty grew over a potential recession. Bitcoin's market cap made up the majority of the overall market capitalization. What is market cap? Market capitalization is a financial measure typically used for publicly traded firms, computed by multiplying the share price by the number of outstanding shares. However, cryptocurrency analysts calculate it as the price of the virtual currencies times the number of coins in the market. This gives cryptocurrency investors an idea of the overall market size, and watching the evolution of the measure tells how much money is flowing in or out of each cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency as an investment The price of Bitcoin has been erratic, and most other cryptocurrencies follow its larger price swings. This volatility attracts investors who hope to buy when the price is low and sell at its peak, turning a profit. However, this does little for price stability. As such, few firms accept payment in cryptocurrencies. As of May 21, 2025, the cumulative market cap of cryptocurrencies reached a value of *******.

Bitcoin Depository Market Outlook

The global Bitcoin depository market size was valued at $1.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $5.8 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4% during the forecast period. The driving factors contributing to this growth include the increasing adoption of cryptocurrencies, growing security concerns regarding cryptocurrency storage, and rising investments in blockchain technology.

One of the primary growth factors of the Bitcoin depository market is the rapid expansion and acceptance of cryptocurrencies in both institutional and retail sectors. As more individuals and enterprises invest in Bitcoin and other digital currencies, the need for secure storage solutions becomes paramount. Cold and hot storage options provided by depositories offer varying levels of security, catering to different user requirements and enhancing overall market demand. Additionally, the volatility and security risks associated with cryptocurrencies have led to an increasing reliance on depositories that offer robust security protocols.

Another significant growth driver is the technological advancements in blockchain and cybersecurity. As blockchain technology becomes more sophisticated, so do the methods for securing digital assets. Innovations such as multi-signature wallets, two-factor authentication, and biometric security measures provide layered security, reducing the risk of theft and hacking. These advancements not only bolster consumer confidence but also attract more users to the market, thereby driving its growth further.

Moreover, regulatory developments across various regions play a crucial role in shaping the Bitcoin depository market. Governments and regulatory bodies are increasingly recognizing the importance of cryptocurrencies and are working towards creating frameworks that provide legal clarity and security for investors. This regulatory support is instrumental in fostering a safer and more secure environment for cryptocurrency storage, thereby encouraging more users to adopt these services. Enhanced regulatory measures also reduce the risk of fraud and other malpractices, contributing to the overall growth of the market.

Regionally, the Bitcoin depository market exhibits diverse growth patterns. North America, with its advanced technological infrastructure and high adoption rate of cryptocurrencies, leads the market. The region's strong presence of major market players and favorable regulatory environment further stimulate market growth. Meanwhile, the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness the highest growth rate, driven by increasing investments in blockchain technology and rising awareness about cryptocurrency security. European markets also show significant potential, aided by progressive regulatory frameworks and high adoption rates among financial institutions and enterprises.

Type Analysis

The Bitcoin depository market can be segmented by type into cold storage and hot storage. Cold storage refers to offline storage solutions that are not connected to the internet, thereby providing a higher level of security against hacking and cyber threats. This type is particularly favored by long-term investors and institutions that prioritize security over accessibility. Cold storage methods include hardware wallets, paper wallets, and physical vaults, all designed to minimize exposure to online threats.

Hot storage, on the other hand, involves online wallets and other internet-connected storage solutions that offer easier access to digital assets. While being more convenient for frequent transactions, hot storage solutions are generally considered less secure than cold storage due to their vulnerability to hacking and phishing attacks. However, advancements in encryption and security protocols are continuously enhancing the safety of hot storage solutions, making them increasingly popular among retail investors and traders.

In recent years, hybrid solutions combining cold and hot storage have emerged, offering a balanced approach to security and accessibility. These solutions allow users to store the majority of their assets in cold storage while keeping a smaller portion in hot storage for immediate transactions. This dual approach caters to the needs of both long-term holders and active traders, driving the demand for versatile storage options.

The choice between cold and hot storage often depends on the user's risk tolerance, investment strategy, and the volume of assets. As the market evolves, it is ex

Analysis of ‘Crypto Fear and Greed Index’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/adelsondias/crypto-fear-and-greed-index on 13 February 2022.

Crypto Fear and Greed Index

Each day, the website https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/ publishes this index based on analysis of emotions and sentiments from different sources crunched into one simple number: The Fear & Greed Index for Bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies.

Why Measure Fear and Greed?

The crypto market behaviour is very emotional. People tend to get greedy when the market is rising which results in FOMO (Fear of missing out). Also, people often sell their coins in irrational reaction of seeing red numbers. With our Fear and Greed Index, we try to save you from your own emotional overreactions. There are two simple assumptions:

• Extreme fear can be a sign that investors are too worried. That could be a buying opportunity.
• When Investors are getting too greedy, that means the market is due for a correction.

Therefore, we analyze the current sentiment of the Bitcoin market and crunch the numbers into a simple meter from 0 to 100. Zero means "Extreme Fear", while 100 means "Extreme Greed". See below for further information on our data sources.

Data Sources

We are gathering data from the five following sources. Each data point is valued the same as the day before in order to visualize a meaningful progress in sentiment change of the crypto market.

First of all, the current index is for bitcoin only (we offer separate indices for large alt coins soon), because a big part of it is the volatility of the coin price.

But let’s list all the different factors we’re including in the current index:

Volatility (25 %)

We’re measuring the current volatility and max. drawdowns of bitcoin and compare it with the corresponding average values of the last 30 days and 90 days. We argue that an unusual rise in volatility is a sign of a fearful market.

Market Momentum/Volume (25%)

Also, we’re measuring the current volume and market momentum (again in comparison with the last 30/90 day average values) and put those two values together. Generally, when we see high buying volumes in a positive market on a daily basis, we conclude that the market acts overly greedy / too bullish.

Social Media (15%)

While our reddit sentiment analysis is still not in the live index (we’re still experimenting some market-related key words in the text processing algorithm), our twitter analysis is running. There, we gather and count posts on various hashtags for each coin (publicly, we show only those for Bitcoin) and check how fast and how many interactions they receive in certain time frames). A unusual high interaction rate results in a grown public interest in the coin and in our eyes, corresponds to a greedy market behaviour.

Surveys (15%) currently paused

Together with strawpoll.com (disclaimer: we own this site, too), quite a large public polling platform, we’re conducting weekly crypto polls and ask people how they see the market. Usually, we’re seeing 2,000 - 3,000 votes on each poll, so we do get a picture of the sentiment of a group of crypto investors. We don’t give those results too much attention, but it was quite useful in the beginning of our studies. You can see some recent results here.

Dominance (10%)

The dominance of a coin resembles the market cap share of the whole crypto market. Especially for Bitcoin, we think that a rise in Bitcoin dominance is caused by a fear of (and thus a reduction of) too speculative alt-coin investments, since Bitcoin is becoming more and more the safe haven of crypto. On the other side, when Bitcoin dominance shrinks, people are getting more greedy by investing in more risky alt-coins, dreaming of their chance in next big bull run. Anyhow, analyzing the dominance for a coin other than Bitcoin, you could argue the other way round, since more interest in an alt-coin may conclude a bullish/greedy behaviour for that specific coin.

Trends (10%)

We pull Google Trends data for various Bitcoin related search queries and crunch those numbers, especially the change of search volumes as well as recommended other currently popular searches. For example, if you check Google Trends for "Bitcoin", you can’t get much information from the search volume. But currently, you can see that there is currently a +1,550% rise of the query „bitcoin price manipulation“ in the box of related search queries (as of 05/29/2018). This is clearly a sign of fear in the market, and we use that for our index.

Context

Blockchain technology, first implemented by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2009 as a core component of Bitcoin, is a distributed, public ledger recording transactions. Its usage allows secure peer-to-peer communication by linking blocks containing hash pointers to a previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency (cryptocurrency) which leverages the Blockchain to store transactions in a distributed manner in order to mitigate against flaws in the financial industry.

Nearly ten years after its inception, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies experienced an explosion in popular awareness. The value of Bitcoin, on the other hand, has experienced more volatility. Meanwhile, as use cases of Bitcoin and Blockchain grow, mature, and expand, hype and controversy have swirled.

Analysis of ‘Bitcoin Prices Dataset’ provided by Analyst-2 (analyst-2.ai), based on source dataset retrieved from https://www.kaggle.com/yasserh/bitcoin-prices-dataset on 13 February 2022.

--- Dataset description provided by original source is as follows ---

Context

Bitcoin is the longest running and most well known cryptocurrency, first released as open source in 2009 by the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto. Bitcoin serves as a decentralized medium of digital exchange, with transactions verified and recorded in a public distributed ledger (the blockchain) without the need for a trusted record keeping authority or central intermediary. Transaction blocks contain a SHA-256 cryptographic hash of previous transaction blocks, and are thus "chained" together, serving as an immutable record of all transactions that have ever occurred. As with any currency/commodity on the market, bitcoin trading and financial instruments soon followed public adoption of bitcoin and continue to grow. Included here is historical bitcoin market data at 1-min intervals for select bitcoin exchanges where trading takes place. Happy (data) mining!

Set of order book snapshots of the now closed down trading platform BTC-e for the Bitcoin/USD market. The snapshots are taken every 10 seconds and contain 20 levels per side of the book. Both prices and volumes are included for each level. The data covers the years 2015 and 2016. Data comes in two versions: parsed data as a multivariate time series per side of the book. That is, one file for each side of the book which contains 20 rows, where the first row is the series of the first level of prices or volumes and the last row is the series of the 20th level. This applies both to asks and bids. The other version of the data is unparsed and contains the 20 levels per side paired with the volumes and a timestamp string.

The Cryptocurrency Exchanges industry shifted from being in the red to the black in recent years. Initially, cryptocurrency exchanges generated little revenue, as the concept of cryptocurrency was still in its infancy. Many local exchanges recorded operating losses and relied on external funding or capital sources. Nonetheless, the cryptocurrency boom, spurred by rising adoption and increased visibility on social media platforms, including posts from Elon Musk, turned things around in the two years through 2021-22. This boom was a milestone for the industry as demand for cryptocurrencies reached new peaks and raised awareness of cryptocurrencies as an asset class. Corporations like Tesla, Square and MicroStrategy began buying Bitcoin, stirring institutional interest in cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency exchange revenue is expected to grow at an annualised 2.2% over the five years through 2024-25 to $470.2 million. This includes an anticipated 11.0% spike in 2024-25 attributable to higher acceptance of cryptocurrencies and a more transparent regulatory framework. The Cryptocurrency Exchanges industry faces significant challenges like regulatory uncertainties, market volatility and cybersecurity threats. In recent years, multiple scandals have been detrimental to cryptocurrency exchanges and reduced investors’ confidence in them and cryptocurrencies. This includes the notorious FTX scandal, where the company’s founder misused clients’ funds to purchase luxury properties in the Bahamas and make huge political donations. This has elevated the Australian Government’s commitment to regulate the crypto industry in order to safeguard retail investors. Nonetheless, regulator crackdowns and uncertainty have weighed on industry revenue as investors become wary of potential risks. Beyond the controversies, advancements in blockchain technology, widespread acceptance of digital currencies and a growing range of products are set to contribute to the performance of cryptocurrency exchanges. The Federal Government will continue developing regulatory frameworks poised to enhance industry stability and credibility, drawing in more investors. This will benefit Australian crypto exchanges in the long run, as it helps foster trust. Cryptocurrency exchange revenue is forecast to continue growing strongly at an annualised 3.5% through 2029-30, to $557.1 million.

The global user base of cryptocurrencies increased by nearly 190 percent between 2018 and 2020, only to accelerate further in 2022. This is according to calculations from various sources, based on information from trading platforms and on-chain wallets. Increasing demographics might initially be attributed to a rise in the number of accounts and improvements in identification. In 2021, however, crypto adoption continued as companies like Tesla and Mastercard announced their interest in cryptocurrency. Consumers in Africa, Asia, and South America were most likely to be an owner of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, in 2022.

How many of these users have Bitcoin?

User figures for individual cryptocurrencies are unavailable. Bitcoin, for instance, was created not to be tracked by banks and governments. What comes closest is the trading volume of Bitcoin against domestic fiat currencies. The source assumed, however, that UK residents were the most likely to make Bitcoin transactions with British pounds. This assumption might not be accurate for popular fiat currencies worldwide. On top of that, coins such as Tether or Binance Coin - referred to as "stablecoins" - are often used to buy and sell Bitcoin. Those coins were not included in that particular statistic.

Wallet usage declined

Total crypto wallet downloads were significantly lower in 2022 than in 2021. The number of downloads of Coinbase, Blockchain.com, and MetaMask, among others, declined as the market hit a "crypto winter" over the year. The crypto market also suffered bad press when FTX - one of the largest crypto exchanges based on market share - collapsed in November 2022. Binance, on the other hand, regained some of the market share it had lost between September and October 2022, growing by 0.8 percentage points in November.

Bitcoin (abbreviation: BTC) is a protocol which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. In order to add to the ledger, a user must prove they control an entry in the ledger. The protocol specifies that the entry indicates an amount of a token, bitcoin with a minuscule b. The user can update the ledger, assigning some of their bitcoin to another entry in the ledger. Because the token has characteristics of money, it can be thought of as a digital currency.
