Markets are rising rapidly but cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, are hanging on despite favorable factors such as interest rate cuts and economic stimuli.
Some altcoins like SPX 6900 and Solana Liquid Derivative have had explosive growth, while Ethereum is struggling to regain its previous high.
The S&P 500 index has reached a new all-time high, but Bitcoin is still hovering around its moving averages.
Many investors have expected a bull market, but lower interest rates and liquidity releases have not had the desired effect on cryptocurrencies.
Andrew Kang and other investors believe that crypto is lagging behind because lower interest rates only indirectly affect cryptocurrencies and liquidity does not necessarily go to the crypto sector.
The Chinese government recently sold 7,000 ETH and has 524,000 ETH remaining which, if sold, could worsen Ethereum's current struggles.
The U.S. elections could also affect crypto regulations and the launch of XRP ETF, with some predicting a five-fold growth of Solana in case of Donald Trump's victory.
Assuming the global economy and all major markets don't collapse, Bitcoin is expected to catch up with the rest of the markets and could significantly outperform them in 2025.
Investors should always consider all possible factors and make informed decisions knowing the risks involved.
