Bitcoin To Surge To $70k As Traders Look Forward To the 'Year of the Dragon', Sui and KangaMoon To Lead the Altcoin Rally

Kangamoon

East Asia is preparing to celebrate the start of the Year of the Dragon in the next few weeks. Crypto traders are excited, anticipating a major rally for Bitcoin as the year is considered one of the luckiest and most prosperous animals in the Chinese Zodiac. Ahead of the celebration, Markus Thielen has forecasted that Bitcoin could peak above $70k before the year ends. Meanwhile, two altcoins, Sui (SUI) and KangaMoon (KANG), are gearing up to lead the altcoin market rally in 2024. Markus Thielen Forecasts a Surge To $70,000 for Bitcoin (BTC) Markus Thielen, a famous crypto analyst at 10X Research, predicts that the Bitcoin (BTC) price will rise to $70,000 by the end of the year. This implies a 65% increase over the current $42,500 - $43,000 range, where the Bitcoin price has remained unchanged for more than a week. Thielen depends on his positive projections on strengthening macro conditions, the U.S. elections, monetary tailwinds, and growing demand for spot Bitcoin ETFs. His claims are bolstered by the increasing attitude in the cryptocurrency industry. On February 10, East Asia will begin the Year of the Wood Dragon. Crypto traders anticipate that the crypto market will suffer the same fate as one of the Chinese Zodiac's luckiest and most affluent animals. As the Bitcoin price increases, the altcoin market is expected to surge in 2024. Sui (SUI) TVL Sets New ATH, Price To Follow With the broader crypto market looking bullish, Sui (SUI) is one of the top altcoins that could take advantage. Over the past few months, the Sui network has grown at an incredible rate, with its total value locked (TVL) increasing by more than 1,000%. According to DeFiLlama data, Sui has a TVL of more than $515 million, making it the ninth-largest DeFi project. The growth of the Sui network can be linked to the rapid development of dApps with real-world use cases. With the network continuing to grow, experts expect the Sui coin to soar in 2024. Year-to-date (YTD), Sui has gained more than 100% to trade at the $1.5 range. However, as the network growth continues, a 30% surge to take SUI to a new ATH is expected, making it one of the top altcoins to buy. KangaMoon (KANG) To Dominate the 2024 Altcoin Market Rally In the upcoming altcoin market rally, KangaMoon (KANG) has been picked by experts as one of the top altcoins to watch. Built around an exciting new concept, the KANG token has been predicted to record a parabolic 100x price surge before the year ends. The DeFi project has attracted this kind of prediction because of its unique Social Finance (Social-Fi) network in the works. The platform also combines elements of play-to-earn, NFTs, and meme coins. This Social-Fi ecosystem aims to become the ultimate hub for meme coin enthusiasts. KangaMoon was designed to encourage interaction among meme coin enthusiasts and reward them for their participation. As the players participate in weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges and special giveaways, they will earn KANG tokens and other rewards. The greater the participation, the more rewards a user stands to earn. The real-world application of KangaMoon has drawn a ton of interest to the project and is why market experts anticipate its launch. Given the 100x predictions, KANG is considered very cheap, as it is only priced at $0.0075 per coin. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the Kangamoon (KANG) Presale Today!

DRDGOLD declares 17th consecutive interim dividend as higher gold price boosts first-half revenue

DRDGOLD Ltd

DRDGOLD Ltd CEO Niël Pretorius takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the company's first-half highlights, including a 12% increase in revenue, largely supported by a firmer gold price, and its 17th year of an interim dividend. Gold production was 7% lower on the back of a 13% drop in throughput, the result of delays in the commissioning of two high-volume sites due to community issues and delays in obtaining regulatory approvals respectively. Pretorius said the company made up tonnes from a number of legacy and clean-up sites. Pretorius also announced significant advancements in sustainability and efficiency, including the completion of a new solar plant by March end, followed by a battery storage system in October, to enhance cost savings and supply consistency.

HANetf founder and co-CEO talks about new junior uranium miners ETF, Future of Defence and Bitcoin

HANetf Holdings Limited

HANetf founder and Co-CEO Hector McNeil joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with news that the company is launching the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners UCITS ETF under the ticker 'URNJ' on the London Stock Exchange and on the Deutsche Börse this Friday. The ETF, which focuses on small and medium-sized uranium companies, is highly anticipated, having generated significant interest on social media. Sprott, the sponsor of this product in the US, has seen its version gather around $400 million in assets in less than a year. McNeil explained the demand for this ETF is driven by a recognition of nuclear power's role in providing a consistent clean energy source and a supply squeeze exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. URNM, HANetf's broader uranium miners product, was the top-performing thematic ETF in Europe last year with a 45% return. McNeil also highlighted the Future of Defence UCITS ETF (NATO), which benefits from current geopolitical tensions. This ETF is unique as it includes companies affiliated with NATO members or affiliates, aiming to capitalize on increased defence spending commitments among NATO countries. Also under the spotlight was the ETC Group Physical Bitcoin ETF (BTCE), the most traded crypto spot ETF in Europe, boasting $1.3 billion in assets. This product underscores the growing acceptance and demand for cryptocurrency investment options in Europe, despite scepticism surrounding the digital asset class. McNeil told Proactive he recently attended the largest annual ETF conference in Miami Beach, which focused significantly on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency ETFs, reflecting the industry's evolution and its bullish outlook towards a future valued at $50 trillion in the next decade.
