3 Catalysts pushing crypto forward in 2024
2024 is starting where 2023 left off. Momentum keeps driving crypto forward, with certain pockets benefitting in particular. Let’s dive into these key narratives and what 2024 may have in store for them.
1- Bitcoin ETF Launch – More than 10 years after the first Bitcoin ETF spot application, it appears we are primed for it to launch this month. Multiple applications from some of the largest asset managers are expected to receive a response regarding their approval as soon as today, January 5.

Will the Bitcoin ETF Finally be Approved? The answer to this question can vary significantly based on the person answering
- In a Bitwise report surveying financial advisors in Q4 showed that only 39% of advisors expected a spot Bitcoin ETF to launch in 2024
- On the other hand, Bloomberg ETF analysts have consistently been point at 90% odds of approval for the ETF, while a senior crypto reporter at TechCrunch pointed to the approval for multiple firms, “expecting something tomorrow” (January 5)
- While traditional finance companies were still skeptical of the Bitcoin ETF approval, people familiar with the matter suggest the approval to be imminent
Is an Approval Priced In? Given the seemingly high odds of approval, is the market move from the ETF already factored in by market participants?
- Following a hypothetical approval announcement, a poll from crypto anon Hsaka suggests that 50% of respondents believe prices will be at least 5% higher within 48 hours, with just 22% voting it would drop by 5% and the remainder voting for it to remain rangebound. Though not extremely bullish, it does show a positive consensus, opening things up for a potential downside surprise
- In a recent interview, Jim Bianco also noted that traders have been front-running the potential inflows from an ETF by investing into Bitcoin proxies such as Coinbase’s stock, MicroStrategy and GBTC, all which outperformed Bitcoin in the last quarter
What’s Next? The next week should be interesting as the final decisions are announced
If the ETF is approved, then the market’s attention is likely to shift to whether it’s an initial “sell the news” event first
The next parameter to watch will be just how much volume these ETFs are able to attract within the first days of trading. If these disappoint, there is potential risk for the market, which has been overly optimistic
Regardless of the outcome, the Bitcoin ETFs are likely to continue being a major catalyst affecting crypto in Q1 of 2024
2- Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade Impact on L2s – After being delayed a few months, Ethereum is on track to deploy its next major upgrade in late Q1 or early Q2. EIP-4844, also known as protodank sharding, is one of the most anticipated changes coming, bringing down transaction costs on layer 2s by 10x or more

Source: IntoTheBlock’s Arbitrum Incentives Program dashboard
Accelerating L2 Growth – The main layer 2s have been seeing sharp growth in prices and key metrics
- Optimism’s OP token is up 180% over the last 90 days, while Arbitrum’s ARB has increased by 130% within the same period
- As we discussed in 2023 On-Chain, the number of transactions on these Ethereum L2s has climbed by more than 90x in the last two years
- The reduction in transaction costs is expected to attract further economic activity into L2s due to reduced friction
Arbitrum’s Moment – Although OP has outperformed over the last three months, Arbitrum metrics are showing signs of progress in 2024
- The total amount of trading volume on Arbitrum surpassed that of Ethereum Mainnet on January 4 for the first time, per DeFi Llama data
- Arbitrum’s incentive program has increased TVL on the L2 by nearly 50%, as shown in ITB’s dashboard
Overall, Ethereum’s transition to L2s has been in motion already, and is set to accelerate following the implementation of the Dencun upgrade. As such, the L2 ecosystem and their tokens are a main area of focus going into 2024.
3- Restaking & Liquid Staking – In terms of new products, EigenLayer’s launch is set to be one of the most anticipated releases of 2024. EigenLayer is an infrastructure layer that will enable “restaking”, or using Ethereum’s existing staked funds in order to validate additional features for applications building on top of it. Its launch is set to bring forth new applications, while benefitting the existing liquid staking protocols.

Impact of Restaking on LSTs – Restaking on EigenlLayer will provide higher yields on top of the existing staking rate
- Users of EigenLayer can deposit liquid staking tokens, such as Lido’s stETH, and earn extra yield from the actively validated services (AVSs) they choose to validate
- Prior to their main launch, EigenLayer has already attracted over $1B in deposits, through their points program
- Over 70% of deposits into EigenLayer have come through liquid staking, pointing to large role these are likely to play as the launch approaches
- Building both restaking and data availability services, EigenLayer is also likely to offer one of the largest airdrops in crypto history, as evidenced by the funds they have managed to attract just off of their points system
Just a week into the year, chatter around restaking has grown as EigenLayer reached its cap of the amount of ETH staked into the product. Liquid staking projects governance tokens such as LDO have also been favored by the market, appreciating by over 10% year to date. Ultimately, the launch of this new primitive is expected to be one of the key narratives shaping crypto throughout the year.
The Hidden Dangers of Telegram Mods on Google Play
The Google Play Store, a hub for millions of apps, has been recently targeted by malicious Telegram clones, jeopardizing the security of thousands. These mods, eerily similar to the original and laden with spyware capabilities, pose a substantial threat to individual and business users alike.
Telegram, an encrypted messaging application, allows and encourages the development of “mods” – modified versions of the original software to enhance user experience. While most mods are developed with user benefits in mind, this openness has inadvertently given cybercriminals an opportunity to exploit unsuspecting users.
Masquerading as “faster” alternatives to the conventional Telegram app, these malignant clones have successfully eluded Google Play’s security measures. They predominantly target Chinese-speaking users, with app descriptions available in traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, and the Uyghur language. A particular subset of these deceptive apps goes by “Paper Airplane,” which entices users with the promise of faster performance, attributing it to a global network of data centers.
The malevolent clones are distinguished from the genuine Telegram app by an embedded module – a powerful spyware that tracks all messenger activities, from collecting contacts to intercepting messages.
The staggering number of downloads – more than 60,000 – highlights the severity of the issue. The Uyghur-targeted version is especially alarming, considering the past surveillance and persecution faced by this ethnic minority by government agencies.
These revelations raise concerns for businesses, especially in light of the growth of mobile spyware and the vast personal and corporate data housed in smartphones. With businesses now leaning heavily on messenger apps for day-to-day communication, such findings serve as a stark reminder of the omnipresent cyber threats.
In response to these findings, Google initiated the removal of these deceptive Telegram clones from its store. Some of these apps had accumulated up to 10,000 downloads before their eventual removal. Nonetheless, concerns persist as not all versions of the malicious apps have been eradicated from the Play store.
Counterfeit apps have long been a staple in the hacker’s toolkit. Recent revelations exposed another scheme where hackers circulated bogus versions of Signal and Telegram through legitimate app stores to implant information-stealing malware. Another spyware-infused version of Telegram, labeled “FlyGram,” was identified on both Google Play and the Samsung Galaxy Store, as was a trojanized version of the Signal app, named Signal Plus Messenger.
Businesses, to safeguard their interests, are being advised to caution employees about the risks of third-party apps, even when sourced from reputed app stores. Users are encouraged to be vigilant, paying attention to details like the developer and negative user reviews, not just the app’s name.
What happened to Grayscale Bitcoin ETF?
Grayscale Investments, a leading crypto investment firm, recently landed a huge victory in its legal tussle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over its proposed Grayscale ETF. A federal appeals court ruled in favor of Grayscale and compelled the SEC to reevaluate its earlier denial of Grayscale’s proposal to convert its Bitcoin Trust, called GBTC, into an ETF. This judgement has sent ripples across the crypto industry, leading to an immediate surge in Bitcoin prices and offering hope for the approval of spot bitcoin ETFs in the U.S.
The legal conflict was initiated when the SEC blocked Grayscale’s attempt to convert its Bitcoin Trust into a Grayscale ETF. Grayscale retaliated by suing the SEC in June 2022, arguing that the SEC had acted arbitrarily in approving ETFs investing in bitcoin futures contracts while rejecting products that aimed to hold bitcoin directly. The three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals sided with Grayscale, ruling that the SEC must review its rejection of Grayscale’s proposal.
The court’s decision signals a monumental step forward for American investors and the wider bitcoin ecosystem. The ruling also raises the prospects of other asset managers winning approval for their products. Following the court’s decision, bitcoin prices rose by more than 5%, exceeding $27,000. This price surge underlines the market’s anticipation and the significant impact such a decision holds.
However, despite this victory for Grayscale, the crypto market isn’t tossing confetti just yet. While some tout this victory as the “next big thing” for the digital currency landscape, the market’s lukewarm response and a mere 7% uptick in Bitcoin’s price post-ruling paint a different story.
The SEC has long been skeptical about approving spot bitcoin ETFs, citing concerns over market manipulation. However, the court’s decision could compel the SEC to reassess its stance, potentially opening the doors for a spot bitcoin ETF in the U.S.
How and why to transfer a web3 domain
Web3 domains are decentralized domains that are registered and controlled by users on the blockchain. Unlike traditional domains, which are governed by centralized authorities and intermediaries, web 3.0 domains offer more security, privacy, and freedom for users. However, there may be situations where you want to transfer your web3 domain to another wallet or person. In this article, we will explain how and why you may want to do that.
How to transfer a web 3 domain
There are two main ways to transfer a web 3 domain: through the Unstoppable Domains website, secondary markets like OpenSea or Rarible or through your own crypto wallet.
Transfer a web3 domain through the Unstoppable Domains
Unstoppable Domains is a platform that allows users to buy, sell, and manage web 3 domains. If you have registered your domain on Unstoppable Domains, you can easily transfer it to another wallet or person through their website. Here are the steps to follow:
- Log in to your Unstoppable Domains account and go to “My Domains”.
- Select the domain that you want to transfer and click on “Manage”.
- Click on “Transfer Domain” and enter the ETH address of the recipient wallet. Make sure that the wallet is connected to a UD account in order to manage the domain. You can also check how to connect a wallet here.
- You will need to check the first three boxes in order to transfer the domain. Please read each of these carefully. If you check the “Clear records upon transfer” option, all data associated with the domain such as crypto addresses and websites will be removed. If you want to keep these records on the domain, do not check this box.
- Press “Transfer Domain”. You will be prompted to sign a transaction in your wallet. Changes will be published to the blockchain, which can take up to 10 minutes.
Transfer a web3.0 domain through secondary markets
Secondary markets are platforms that allow users to buy and sell NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which include web3 domains. Some of the popular secondary markets are OpenSea and Rarible. If you want to sell your domain on these platforms, you can list it for sale and wait for buyers to bid or buy it. If you want to buy a domain from these platforms, you can browse through the available domains and make an offer or purchase it directly.
If you want to transfer your domain directly to another person without listing it for sale, you can also do that through these platforms. Here are the steps to follow:
- Log in to your secondary market account and go to “My Collections”.
- Select the domain that you want to transfer and click on “Transfer”.
- Enter the ETH address of the recipient wallet and click on “Transfer”.
- You will be prompted to sign a transaction in your wallet. Once the transaction is complete, the platform will notify you.
Transfer an ENS domain
To transfer an ENS domain ownership to another user, you need to go to the ENS Domain Manager and log in with the wallet holding your ENS name. Here are the steps to follow:
- Go to app.ens.domains on your web browser.
- On the top left corner of the homepage, click on “CONNECT” to log in with your crypto wallet.
- Once you are logged in, you will see a list of your owned domains. Select the domain you want to transfer.
- Click on the “Transfer” button and enter the Ethereum address of the recipient wallet.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet.
After the transaction is confirmed, the ownership of the domain will be transferred to the recipient’s wallet. Please note that any records or settings associated with the domain, such as linked cryptocurrency addresses or website content, would need to be updated separately by the new owner of the domain. Additionally, depending on the specific blockchain and wallet software being used, there may be transaction fees associated with transferring the domain between wallets.
Transferring a web3.0 domain as an NFT
Web3 domains are decentralized domains that are registered and controlled by users on the blockchain. Once a user has minted a domain to their wallet, they have complete control over that domain. This means that Web3 domains can be transferred, updated, and linked to other services without the involvement of Unstoppable Domains or any other centralized authority.
To transfer a Web3 domain from your own crypto wallet to another person’s wallet without using Unstoppable Domains, you would need to initiate a transfer of the domain’s non-fungible token (NFT) from your wallet to the recipient’s wallet. The exact steps for doing this would depend on the specific blockchain and wallet software you are using. You may need to consult the documentation for your wallet or seek assistance from the wallet’s support team to learn how to transfer NFTs between wallets.
It is important to note that transferring a Web3 domain in this manner would only transfer ownership of the domain itself. Any records or settings associated with the domain, such as linked cryptocurrency addresses or website content, would need to be updated separately by the new owner of the domain. Additionally, depending on the specific blockchain and wallet software being used, there may be transaction fees associated with transferring the domain’s NFT between wallets.
Why you may want to transfer a web3 domain
There are various reasons why you may want to transfer a web 3 domain. Here are some of them:
- Gifting to family and friends: You may want to secure web 3 domains for your loved ones as a gift or as a way of introducing them to the world of web3. You can then transfer the domains to them whenever you want.
- Selling for profit: You may want to sell your web 3 domains for profit if they have increased in value or demand over time. You can list them for sale on secondary markets or arrange a private sale with someone who wants to buy them from you.
- Changing ownership for business reasons: You may want to change the ownership of your web3 domains for business reasons if they are related to your company or brand. For example, if an employee who registered a domain under their personal account leaves the company, you may want to transfer the domain to another employee or to the company’s account.
Conclusion
Web3.0 domains are a new and exciting way of owning and managing your online identity and presence. However, there may be situations where you want or need to transfer them to another wallet or person. In this article, we have explained how and why you may want to do that using two main methods: through the Unstoppable Domains website or through secondary markets, through ENS and owner’s wallet. We hope that this article has been helpful and informative for you.
