Bitcoin is set to soar to new heights, with Standard Chartered predicting that it could even reach $100,000 by the end of 2024. That's a massive 268% increase from current levels. But why, you ask? Well, the crypto winter is finally over and there are several factors contributing to this potential surge. One of these factors is bank turmoil, coupled with bitcoin halving and the end of Fed rate hikes. While there are still some sources of uncertainty, Standard Chartered believes that the pathway to the USD 100,000 level is becoming clearer.Now, speaking of uncertainty, people are flocking to money market funds to protect their money amidst concerns about bank safety and turmoil. In fact, since the start of March, $286 billion has flowed into money-market funds - the biggest month since the depths of COVID. With their higher yields, these funds are becoming an increasingly attractive option, especially since the Federal Reserve has been aggressively raising rates. While money-market funds aren't guaranteed, they do invest in the safest and most liquid instruments. Plus, similar accounts offered by banks are even safer, offering FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor.So, if you're considering investing your money in money markets, what are your options? Well, Bankrate has compiled a list of the 8 highest-yielding money-market accounts as of Friday, March 24. With the shift towards safe investments that offer better returns, it's looking like an ideal time to capitalize on these attractive yields.Overall, with bitcoin predicted to soar and money markets offering enticing yields, it's a good time to keep an eye on these trends and take advantage of the possibilities they offer.Hey there! Today we're going to talk about the potential future of Bitcoin. According to Standard Chartered's Geoff Kendrick, Bitcoin has the potential to reach USD 100,000 by the end of 2024. Kendrick believes that the much-touted 'crypto winter' is finally over and one of the reasons for the bullish outlook is caused by Silicon Valley Bank's collapse last month. The turmoil caused by the collapse quickly spread worries of a banking contagion, which led investors to consider Bitcoin as a decentralized, trustless, and scarce digital asset. Bitcoin's status as a branded safe-haven asset, its perceived relative store of value, and a means of remittance have also been crucial factors in its rise. With key rivals to bitcoin losing ground, Kendrick states in the note that bitcoin's share of the total crypto market cap could rise to the 50%-60% range, up from 45% today and from 40% before the SVB collapse.
