Which is why we’re so happy to wrap up 2023 on a sunnier note! In the last few months, prices have spiked as we all got more and more fired up about the prospect of the SEC <i>finally</i> approving one of Wall Street’s “spot” bitcoin ETF applications. (Could it really happen <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">in January</a>?) Meanwhile, NFTs began bouncing back, crypto <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">had some big days in court</a>, and the Bitcoin Whitepaper celebrated its fifteenth birthday.

After experiencing <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">historically low volatility</a> for much of 2023, prices began <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ramping up sharply this fall</a> (shout out to “Uptober”!) as optimism grew that the SEC might soon approve one of Wall Street’s “spot” BTC ETF applications.</p><h1><strong>$100 billion </strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Estimate of how big the <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">market for spot BTC ETFs</a> could become, according to Bloomberg Intelligence. Other estimates we saw this year ranged from $3 billion on the first day of trading to $55 billion over five years. As the chief strategy officer at ETF provider Roundhill Investments told Reuters, “the analogy that I’m looking at is to gold,” adding that the arrival of spot ETFs had <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">been transformational</a> for the gold market.</p><h1><strong>$2.5 billion</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Amount of revenue <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">earned by BTC miners</a> in the fourth quarter of 2023, the highest figure since early 2022, according to Coin Metrics.

Many of the world’s largest financial institutions see the tokenization of real-world assets — including real estate, currencies, and financial instruments — as a <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">multi trillion-dollar opportunity</a>. As a Bernstein analyst put it this summer, “We forecast ~$5 trillion of real-world financial assets will be tokenized on blockchains over the next 5 years.”</p><h1><strong>$78 million</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Amount of money <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">raised</a> in Q4 by the crypto community to support the election of bipartisan, pro-innovation candidates in 2024.

This year, Coinbase announced <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">efforts</a> to help mobilize crypto advocates ahead of the 2024 election by <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">making it simple to call</a> their elected representatives.</p><h1><strong>$2.5 million</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Approximate sales price for two Van Gogh paintings rendered as NFTs on the Tezos blockchain by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">as NFTs began to bounce back</a> alongside the broader crypto market this November. And it wasn’t just NFTs of Impressionist masterpieces: An image of Ethereum cofounder Vitalik Buterin dressed as a jester went for nearly $400,000, while an <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NFT pet rock</a> sold for more than $200,000. </p><h1><strong>165% </strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Percentage bitcoin increased in 2023, as of Wednesday afternoon. After sinking below $16,000 last year, the leading cryptocurrency by market capitalization roared back in 2023 – and <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">many analysts predict</a> even bigger things for 2024. As an October report from Morgan Stanley put it, “Historically, most of bitcoin’s gains come directly after a <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">‘halving’</a> event [expected next spring] that occurs every four years.”</p><h1><strong>119%</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">The increase in volume of staked ETH so far this year, per a <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Glassnode</a> report released Tuesday, resulting in more than 34.638 million ETH being “locked into the staking protocol.” In April, Ethereum completed its transition to a proof-of-stake consensus model with its <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Shapella upgrade</a>, which gave users who staked their ETH to help secure and validate transactions on the blockchain the ability to withdraw their funds.</p><h1><strong>82% </strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Amount Ripple’s XRP token gained this year. XRP (which is used on the Ripple payment network) got a <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">major boost</a> in July when a federal court in New York ruled that XRP itself is not a security <i>and </i>that XRP at issue sold through exchanges were not securities transactions. In 2020, the SEC had sued Ripple, alleging that it had broken securities laws when it sold XRP. In October of this year, a judge <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ruled</a> that the agency can’t appeal the decision.</p><h1><strong>78</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Minimum <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">number of games</a> with blockchain elements on the Epic Games Store as of November, according to Decrypt: “While many of these games are unreleased or in early access, their listings are reflective of Epic Games’ more open approach to hosting titles with crypto or AI elements compared to rival PC game launcher Steam.”</p><h1><strong>51% </strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Share of millennial and Gen Z adults who say they’re likely to support pro-crypto political candidates in 2024, according to Coinbase’s latest <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">State of Crypto report</a>, which was released in October. We’d suggest listening to them, given that they account for 40% of the US voting-age population today and are on their way to becoming a majority by 2028.</p><h1><strong>42</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Number of countries that, per a PwC <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">report</a> released this week, “engaged in myriad initiatives to develop crypto-focused regulations and legislation, from holding discussions to passing laws” in 2023. Among the 42 countries identified in the report, more than 20 of them were categorized as having passed “comprehensive crypto regulatory frameworks.”</p><h1><strong>15</strong></h1><p style="margin:16px 0px 0px; line-height:1.6; word-break:break-word">Age of <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Satoshi Nakamoto</a>’s Bitcoin Whitepaper as of <a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">October 31</a>. Next month, on January 3, Bitcoin will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the first transaction ever recorded on the network. The message inscribed in the “<a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Genesis Block</a>” referenced a newspaper headline about the Great Recession, a key factor in Bitcoin’s creation: “The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks.”</p><a href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><div class="desktop_hide" style="display:none;
