Crypto Market Cap Poised For Breakout: Analyst Predict 23% Upside Potential

newsbtcPubblicato 2023-07-03Pubblicato ultima volta 2023-07-04

Introduzione

The crypto market has been on a rollercoaster this year, with prices fluctuating wildly and regulatory pressures causing significant drops. However, recent developments have given investors renewed confidence in the market, leading to a total crypto market cap recovery.
On June 15th, the total crypto market cap hit a low point of $972 billion, following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) regulatory pressure on the industry. But since then, the market has rebounded.
This recovery has been driven partly by the entrance of major financial players into the crypto space. Several applications for a Bitcoin Spot Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) by major financial players such as Blackrock and Fidelity have been filed, indicating that they are interested in betting on cryptocurrencies.
This has helped to rebuild investor confidence in the market, leading to increased investments and a rise in the total crypto market cap.
Crypto Market Cap’s Moment Of Truth
Cryptocurrency investors are closely monitoring the total crypto market cap as it attempts to break through a significant resistance level. According to crypto analyst Rekt Capital, if the market can successfully breach this level, it could pave the way for continued upward momentum and potentially significant gains for the overall market.
At the time of writing, the total crypto market cap is around $1.17 trillion, with Bitcoin making up the lion’s share of this value. However, the market has been trading in a relatively tight range over the past few weeks, with many investors looking for a catalyst to drive prices higher.
Rekt Capital believes that a breakout above the current resistance level could be just the catalyst that the market needs to see a sustained uptrend. Rekt Capital suggests that the market could see gains of between 10% and 23% over time if this breakout occurs.

However, certain conditions must be met for the market to break through these levels. Firstly, there needs to be an improvement in current market conditions, including a relaxation of crypto regulations by regulators globally, particularly in the US. Additionally, there needs to be a resolution of the ongoing Bitcoin Spot ETF applications by major financial players with the SEC.
If these conditions are met, it could lead to an influx of financial players and investors into cryptocurrency. Many investors are looking to cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation, and greater regulatory clarity and the approval of a Bitcoin ETF could make the industry more attractive to traditional investors.
Cryptocurrency Trading Volume Drops To 2020 Levels
Crypto trading volumes have reached their lowest levels since 2020, despite the ongoing rally in June. According to a report by crypto market data provider Kaiko, spot trade volumes have significantly declined in Q2, with Binance registering the strongest drop in trading activity.

This move, aimed at reducing market manipulation, appears to have significantly impacted trading activity on the platform.
However, Binance was not the only exchange to see a significant decline in trading volumes. Other popular exchanges, including Coinbase, Kraken, OKX, and Huobi, also saw volumes decline by over 50% in Q2.

The decline in trading volumes is surprising, given the recent rally in the crypto market. Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market cap, has been bullish in June, reaching a high of over $31,000. Despite this, trading volumes have remained subdued, suggesting that investors are not as active in the market as they have been.

128 Tokens Under Scrutiny in Defillama's Latest Crypto Rankings

Defillama, in collaboration with Forgd, has launched a Universal Token Ratings (UTR) system, assessing 128 tokens on a scale from AAA to CCC. According to the announcement, these dynamic ratings are updated in near real-time based on market performance, even if a project's public disclosures remain unchanged. The system aims to provide a standardized, data-driven method for evaluating crypto assets. Currently, Uniswap (UNI) holds the sole AAA rating. Tokens like Meteora (MET), Curve DAO (CRV), and Dogecoin (DOGE) are among those rated AA. Defillama's research lead stated this initiative is an extension of their mission to provide objective data, giving users a tool to identify promising projects. The UTR model draws parallels to traditional credit rating agencies like Moody's and S&P, which have also begun applying their methodologies to digital assets. Forgd's CEO emphasized that these ratings must be "continuously earned" based on real-time market function, unlike static transparency checklists. The launch targets a time of peak institutional awareness, with the partners believing a bond-like rating standard can bolster trust and accountability in the crypto industry.

Bitcoin Price Approaches $100k Mark: Market Forecasts and Wall Street Views

Bitcoin Price Approaches $100,000: Market Forecasts and Wall Street Views Bitcoin is nearing the $100,000 threshold as traders on prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi weigh various price targets for the coming years. On Polymarket, with nearly $59.7 million in volume for contracts on Bitcoin's price by end-2026, the probability of hitting $85,000 is seen at 69%, while chances for $90,000 fall to 49%. The likelihood drops significantly for higher targets: $100,000 at 29%, $110,000 at 20%, and $120,000 at 13%. Extreme targets of $150,000 and above are given very low odds. This activity is not purely bullish. Traders also price in significant downside risk, with a 67% chance of Bitcoin falling to $70,000, 44% to $65,000, and 29% to $60,000 before year-end. This creates a wide battlefield of expectations rather than a simple optimistic consensus. Similarly, on Kalshi, a $100,000-target market shows traders assign only a 7% chance of reaching that level by October, 22% by December, and 29% by January 2027. Another contract bets a 21% chance Bitcoin crashes to $50,000 before it ever touches $100,000. In contrast, Wall Street firm Bernstein presents a much more bullish long-term outlook. Analyst Gautam Chhugani forecasts Bitcoin reaching approximately $125,000 by year-end, a new high of $150,000 by mid-2027, and a cycle peak around $300,000 by late 2029. This optimism is based on institutional ownership, ETF demand, and Bitcoin's fixed supply amid high sovereign debt. While prediction market speculators anticipate a volatile path with key resistance at $85k, $90k, and $100k and support at $70k and $60k, Bernstein's analysis suggests a significantly higher trajectory in the years ahead.

Moody’s Backs Treasury Department Working Group Amid Quantum Technology Threats That Put Cryptocurrencies on High Alert

The U.S. Treasury Department has established a new working group focused on quantum readiness, aimed at strengthening the cryptographic security of critical infrastructure and the digital economy, including digital assets. This initiative, referenced in relation to a Trump-era executive order, will collaborate with TradFi institutions, public and private sector leaders, and technology providers. Treasury Secretary Yellen emphasized the need for U.S. leadership in securing foundational economic technologies. In support, Moody's Ratings Vice President Cristiano Ventricelli highlighted that while digital assets are seen as strategically important for U.S. financial innovation, advances in quantum computing could eventually undermine the cryptographic security they rely on. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could threaten transaction authorization, asset ownership, and storage mechanisms, potentially eroding market trust. Ventricelli stated that addressing this threat directly is crucial for the credibility of U.S. efforts to expand digital asset markets. Deborah Guild of the Financial Services Sector Coordinating Council and PNC Financial Services echoed this urgency, asserting that Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness is no longer a future concern but a present-day risk management imperative.

Coinbase Exchange, in Partnership with Better, Launches Bitcoin- and USDC-Backed Mortgage

Updated: August 26, 2026 Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase and Better Mortgage have launched a mortgage program with cryptocurrency collateral for Coinbase One subscribers in the US.

Better Mortgage's CTO, Ziggy Jonsson, stated the partnership aims to expand access to homeownership for a generation whose wealth is increasingly held on-chain. The launch follows pre-demand from a waitlist opened in June. Data shows 76% of respondents were already Coinbase One users, and 60% planned to buy a home within six months. Previously, Coinbase introduced trading for stocks like Apple, Nvidia, and Meta on its platform.

FBI Seizes Chinese Hacking Platforms Used in Attacks on US Agencies

On August 26, federal authorities disrupted two interconnected Chinese-state-sponsored hacker platforms, QScan and QTRouter, by seizing their domains. The platforms, operated by the group QTFY, were used to target critical U.S. infrastructure and sensitive networks at agencies including NASA, the Federal Reserve, and several U.S. Departments. The FBI asserts QTFY sold hacking services to Chinese state clients. QScan scanned for and exploited vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices, processing millions of tasks. Compromised devices were then funneled into QTRouter, which masked attack traffic by routing it through these devices and proxy services, making malicious activity appear local. This infrastructure also facilitated financially motivated cybercrime, earning operators millions. This seizure is part of a broader U.S. campaign against state-sponsored Chinese cyber infrastructure, following earlier operations against botnets like Volt Typhoon and the removal of PlugX malware. The U.S. is expanding its approach to foreign cyber threats, including a new program to enable vetted companies to conduct disruption missions. General protective measures for all users include updating software and avoiding suspicious downloads.
