Goldman Sachs forecasts a $305 billion revenue boost from AI-related investments by 2025, primarily benefiting semiconductor firms. Despite significant funding, only 7.4% of U.S. companies currently utilize AI, with larger firms leading adoption. While AI roles are growing in IT job postings, overall labor market impacts remain minimal, and productivity gains are notable in specific sectors.
Bitcoin's price has rebounded to $97,785, with ETF inflows reaching a six-week high of $908 million on January 3, signaling renewed institutional interest. Despite this momentum, traders remain cautious, with some predicting potential price drops unless Bitcoin surpasses $99,000. The Coinbase Premium index has also shown signs of recovery, indicating stronger influence from U.S. buyers on Bitcoin's price trajectory.
Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency, has risen 50% this year but lags behind competitors like Bitcoin, which is up 131%. Despite the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs, their performance has been disappointing, and new blockchains are rapidly gaining market share due to superior speed and cost-effectiveness. As Ethereum's first-mover advantage diminishes, investors may want to consider alternatives like Solana or Bitcoin for greater potential returns.
Ethereum's price has surged to approximately $3,936.26, fueled by institutional interest following the approval of Ether-focused ETFs and a supportive political climate in the U.S. Experts predict it could reach $12,000 in the next bull run, bolstered by its transition to proof-of-stake and strong market fundamentals.Meanwhile, PlutoChain ($PLUTO) emerges as a promising Layer-2 solution, enhancing Bitcoin's capabilities with faster block times and Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility, potentially redefining Bitcoin's role in decentralized finance.
Nasdaq is set to announce MicroStrategy's potential inclusion in the Nasdaq-100 index, contingent on its classification as a technology company. If added, ETFs tracking the index, managing $451 billion in assets, would be required to purchase shares, potentially boosting MicroStrategy's stock price significantly. Initial net share purchases could reach around $2.1 billion, reflecting strong demand.
Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs are experiencing unprecedented inflows, with Bitcoin spot ETFs alone attracting $223 million in a single day. Institutional and retail investors are increasingly favoring these funds, particularly spot ETFs, which have outperformed futures-based options. Over recent weeks, these ETFs have collectively garnered over $6 billion, highlighting their growing significance in the financial landscape.
Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen record inflows, with $3.85 billion entering digital asset funds last week, driven by institutional demand. BlackRock's iShares ETFs accounted for $3.2 billion, pushing total crypto assets under management to $56.7 billion. Meanwhile, long-term Bitcoin holders sold 827,783 BTC in 30 days, contributing to Bitcoin's struggle to maintain momentum above $100,000. The U.S. has emerged as the leading market for digital asset investment, with speculation that smaller crypto ETFs may soon be approved following Donald Trump's return to the presidency.
