The cryptocurrency market has faced a correction over the previous week, with the global market cap falling to $1.62 trillion, dropping 2.2% in the last 24 hours. However, many analysts anticipate the market to gain momentum during the holiday season.
Researchers and investors expect the crypto market to enter a bull run in 2024, fueled by the possibility of a spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF (Exchange Traded Fund) and BTC’s next halving. The expectation of a bull run might prompt investors to buy more assets in the last week of December, leading to price surges. With that, here are our top 3 cryptocurrencies to watch closely this holiday season.
Top 3 cryptocurrency projects to watch this holiday season
Bitcoin (BTC):
Bitcoin (BTC) is the current market leader, and there is a possibility that the original cryptocurrency’s prices will surge later this month. Investors may increase their investments in the asset, given that a spot BTC ETF might see the light of day early next year.
