Among these, a notable surge in interest was observed among crypto market traders and investors globally, orbiting Bitcoin, Solana, Terra, and the US SEC. This primarily seems to be attributed to the key developments noted by the abovementioned entities. Aligning with this, some of the top headlines of the week are:<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin\u2019s Chronicle<\/h2>\n<p>The week kicked off with quite the optimistic sentiment for Bitcoin globally, as the token noted a prompt rise in its dominance following the crypto market rally on New Year\u2019s Day. Furthermore, this chronicle was jacked up with positive sentiments ahead of the spot Bitcoin ETF approval by the US SEC, nearing as of January 10.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, in the interim, Bitcoin S2F model creator <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/bitcoin-price-prediction-for-2024-by-s2f-model-creator-planb\/\">PlanB<\/a> hinted BTC price to hit $55,000 as the halving nears and slated it to reach $1 million by the end of 2025. However, Bitcoin soon backtracked, erasing earlier gains, as the broader crypto market saw over $700 million in liquidation on January 3, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Dennis Porter, CEO of Satoshi Action Fund, revealed U.S. Senator Thom Tillis\u2019s \u201cnoteworthy concerns\u201d about the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/us-senator-raises-concern-over-elizabeth-warren-bitcoin-bill-sec-regulatory-approach\/\">\u2018Bitcoin Ban Bill.<\/a>\u2019 Simultaneously, it spotlighted the importance of a balanced regulatory approach for innovation and addressing illicit finance.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/matrixport-predicts-bitcoin-price-dip-to-36k-amid-sec-potential-rejection-of-btc-spot-etf\/\">Matrixport<\/a> forethought a potential BTC price dip to $36000, as the platform\u2019s anticipation forecasted SEC\u2019s unfavourable stance on spot Bitcoin ETF decisions.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>Simultaneously, 210,010 BTC, worth $9 billion, were <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/over-200k-bitcoin-worth-9-bln-on-move-causes-panic-what-happening\/\">exchanged<\/a> in block #824239 on January 4, showcasing one of the most noteworthy Bitcoin transactions to date. Concerning this, two unknown wallets transferred the aforestated amounts between themselves.<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the colossal market selloffs and transfers amid triggered concerns over SEC\u2019s stand on spot Bitcoin ETF, long-term Bitcoin holders appeared to be unfazed. Besides, Arthur Hayes, Co-founder of BitMEX, hinted toward a potential 40% correction in BTC price post spot Bitcoin ETF approval.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Citigroup Inc. Alumni also unveiled plans to launch <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/citi-alumni-unveil-bitcoin-drs-with-sec-approval-free-rollout\/\">Bitcoin depositary reserves<\/a>, unchained to the US SEC\u2019s constraints.<\/p>\n<h2>Solana Sparks Optimism<\/h2>\n<p>Solana, a prominent blockchain with the native token SOL, also marked a tempest of strides this week, following a significant <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/binance-announces-new-solana-sol-bnb-nfp-sei-other-crypto-margin-pairs\/\">listing<\/a> bonanza. According to a report by CoinGape media, Binance, the world\u2019s largest cryptocurrency exchange, announced plans to build support for SOL cross margin and isolated margin pairs on its platform.<\/p>\n<p><!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 2.0.72.1 --><\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko cracked down on significant <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/coingape.com\/solana-labs-co-founder-addresses-community-concerns-over-ecosystem-security\/\">vulnerabilities<\/a> orbiting the Solana ecosystem.
