Bitcoin now world’s eighth largest asset, NCI up over 90% this year, and Solana’s market cap surpasses $100 billion
Last week was another strong one for crypto assets, with the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ (NCI™) maintaining its positive momentum and experiencing an upswing of 12.0%. While Ethereum (ETH) saw a mild 2.0% correction after a strong upward push following the US elections, Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL) kept rising, gaining 13.2% and 15.7%, respectively. Most notably, XRP was up 80%, contributing 1.3% to the overall NCI™ performance in the week. The NCI™ has risen 31.4% since the November 5 US elections, returning 91.9% in 2024 and outperforming all other asset classes by a significant margin.
Bitcoin ends the week near $90k, becoming the world’s eighth most valuable asset
BTC’s momentum continued last week, pushing it to a weekly high of $93,476 on Wednesday and a weekly close of $89,630, the highest in all of its history. BTC latest close put it just 12% away from $100,000. Notably, BTC surpassed silver in total market value and became the eighth most valuable asset in the world, amassing $1.8 trillion in market capitalization, ~10% of gold’s.
Strong weekly inflows could turn the tide for US ETH ETFs, signaling a shift in momentum
The recent positive price action and the outlook for a more friendly regulatory environment for digital assets ignited a new wave of inflows into US spot ETH ETFs. While their adoption is still lackluster compared to the remarkable success of US spot BTC ETFs, ETH products saw $670 million in inflows in the past two weeks and $515 million just last week, bringing net flows of all products combined to positive territory for the first time since their launch in late July. This momentum shift might indicate a reversal of the negative trend experienced by spot ETH products since launch, taking place just one week after the State of Michigan’s state pension fund disclosed allocating over $10 million to ETH ETFs.
Solana tops $100 billion, solidifying its strong position in smart contracts
After reaching a cycle low in 2022 following the FTX debacle, Solana’s native token has closed the first week in its history with a valuation above $100 billion, showcasing the rebirth of the Solana ecosystem, the increasing market interest for high-speed programmable platforms, and establishing Solana as a major contender in the smart contract race led so far by Ethereum. SOL now possesses an important allocation in the NCI, which showcases the index’s ability to dynamically represent emerging theses in the crypto market, providing investors with diversified exposure that properly tracks and represents the digital asset space over the long haul.
From Hashdex
In his latest Notes from the CIO, Samir Kerbage covers the three most important takeaways from last week’s US elections.
Bitcoin is running out. Literally, out of a total 21 million coins, 3.7 million are lost forever. That leaves only 16.3 million in circulation and just 1 million left to be mined. Imagine 60 million millionaires worldwide fighting for Bitcoin: each could only get 0.28 BTC. The question is simple: do you own any Bitcoin?
Perps explained: How Hyperliquid and dYdX are powering the next phase of crypto trading
