Bitcoin has become the most profitable asset at the end of 2024

The most profitable way to invest Br100 thousand in bitcoin cryptocurrency at the beginning of 2024 was to invest it 2.5 times. This is stated in a study by FinExpertiza, which is at the disposal of "Izvestia".

Crypto has a place: bitcoin was prescribed further growth above $120 thousand.

Which allowed him to exceed the round mark of $100k for the first time in history.

In second place in terms of attractiveness is gold, which rose in price one and a half times during the year against the background of geopolitical shocks. Due to the high key deposits also entered the top 3 best assets of the outgoing year, yielding about 20%.

Cryptocurrencies - the most high-risk asset, which at the same time can bring significant profits, emphasized analyst of FG "Finam" Alexander Potavin. The cost of bitcoin jumped one and a half times immediately after the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. elections and reached a maximum of $108 thousand. It is quite possible that this was only the first wave of growth in the value of the coin, so BTC is an attractive asset for long-term investments.

The continued growth of the crypto market largely depends on whether Trump will fulfill his promises to create a US reserve in cryptocurrency, added Fedor Naumov, head of analytics at PFL Advisors. Right now, $200,000 worth of BTC seized in court cases is lying on the states' balance sheet. The authorities plan to keep them, but purchases of cryptocurrency from the market are not expected yet.

If the scenario is favorable for the crypto, it is possible to reach the peaks of $180-200 thousand for bitcoin, predicts Fedor Naumov. In this case, investments in BTC may again double by the end of 2025.
