Bitcoin Key Events in 2024
The influence of U.S. politics on Bitcoin’s price became increasingly evident in 2024, as reflected in market trends. Key drivers of growth included the launch of Bitcoin ETFs—though the price surge was delayed by a month due to Grayscale's Bitcoin sell-off—and the election victory of pro-crypto candidate Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race.
For Bitcoin's explosive growth to continue, practical steps from the U.S. government will be crucial. If policies and actions align with a pro-Bitcoin stance, further price increases can be anticipated.

Total Value of Stolen Crypto & Number of Hacks
In 2024, the total amount of stolen funds surged by approximately 22% compared to the previous year, reaching $2.2 billion. The number of individual hacking incidents also rose, increasing from 282 in 2023 to 303 in 2024.
DeFi accounted for the largest share of stolen assets in the first quarter of 2024. However, centralized services became the primary targets in Q2 and Q3. Notable hacks on centralized platforms included DMM Bitcoin in May 2024, which resulted in losses of $305 million, and WazirX in July 2024, with losses totaling $234.9 million.
