Crypto Market = Stock Market

No special dates today—people are gearing up for New Year’s and Christmas. How’s your mood?

Now, let’s get straight to the important stuff, because we value your time, and time is Moni.

What’s up?

With the arrival of institutional players, the crypto market is starting to resemble... institutional markets 🙂.

It seems there won’t be a “Santa Claus Rally” that crypto enthusiasts were hoping for. The big players have gone on vacation, buying gifts for their loved ones and preparing for Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

The more institutional money enters crypto, the more stable it becomes. It will be harder to lose 99% of your deposit, but also harder to make massive gains. That’s the reality we have to accept.

We genuinely feel that the next six months to a year will be critical for many of us.

Another thing: don’t expect the kind of bull market we saw in 2021. There are too many altcoins, and the supply is too high to replicate the highs of 2021. The highs of 2017, however, are quite possible.

This makes it important to find the coins that are most likely to deliver returns and grow while others stagnate—and it’s becoming harder to identify them now.

If we’re talking about lower-risk options...

Take $ETH, for instance. It still looks like a solid choice—historically, it performs well in Q1, and money continues to flow into ETFs.

Keep an eye on narratives like DeFi, AI, meme coins, and any new trends emerging in the market.

But don’t assume your portfolio will automatically grow just because there’s an alt season. Nope 🙂. 

Only a very limited number of coins will rise, and your job is to identify them. 

Also, here are some key updates:

- Join the Sahara project waitlist. They’ve raised $43 million from Binance Labs, Polychain Capital, Pantera, and others. This is an AI project aimed at making AI accessible to everyone.

Meanwhile, stay active on their Discord. Testnets are coming, and there might be some opportunities to grab.

- Pixel Bobs holders: don’t forget to claim your rewards—only three days left.

- Tether is launching its own AI project in Q1 2025 and has invested $775 million in the Rumble platform.

- Wormhole will launch its DAO in Q1 2025.
