Crypto VC Investment Trends vs. Bitcoin Price
Compared to Bitcoin’s price movements, crypto VC fundraising has underperformed, indicating relatively low interest in venture investments compared to the preference for buying and holding Bitcoin. This trend suggests that Bitcoin is increasingly viewed as a distinct asset, separate from the broader crypto market, and as an alternative to gold.

Blockchain Services: The Leading Category in 2024
In 2024, Blockchain Services emerged as the clear leader in terms of funding raised. This category spans a diverse range of subcategories and projects with unique business models, reflecting a growing preference among venture capitalists for innovative solutions that push beyond traditional frameworks.
The Blockchain and CeFi sectors followed closely behind each other, taking second and third places with only a narrow margin between them. Blockchain projects have historically drawn significant investment due to two primary factors: the technical complexity required to build a unique and competitive blockchain and the necessity for these blockchains to establish entire ecosystems of projects around them to maintain market relevance.
CeFi, on the other hand, acts as a bridge between Web3 and traditional finance. Projects in this category often offer more transparent and predictable business models, coupled with user-friendly interfaces and clearer regulatory frameworks. This combination makes CeFi projects particularly attractive to investors. While DeFi currently has approximately 10 million users, CeFi platforms have surpassed 100 million, showcasing their wider accessibility and adoption.

Bitcoin Ahr999 Index
The ahr999 index calculates the ratio of Bitcoin’s price to its 200-days moving average. It suggests that Bitcoin is currently in a fixed investment zone.
However, in past cycles, the index reached values as high as 9 and 23. Could this mean it might surpass 3 or 4 in the current cycle? One thing remains clear: the range between 1.20 and 0.45 is considered an ideal zone for accumulating Bitcoin.

Ethereum Key Milestones and Price Drivers
Ethereum's price performance in 2024 lagged behind Bitcoin, partly due to growing interest in networks like Solana, which captured attention with emerging narratives such as memecoins, AI agents, and prediction markets.
The primary catalyst for Ethereum's price growth was the approval of a spot ETF. However, trading launch paradoxically triggered a price decline, highlighting the classic "buy the rumor, sell the news" effect. Interestingly, Ethereum saw a significant price surge following Donald Trump's re-election victory.
Looking ahead, Ethereum's price trajectory seems tied to its ability to lead in adopting new narratives. Without dominating these trends, its performance appears comparatively subdued.
