It’s becoming more difficult for Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, to predict the future of Bitcoin (BTC). However, during Galaxy Digital’s fourth-quarter earnings call, the billionaire said that he expected Bitcoin would outperform his earlier 2022 price estimates due to the growing public interest and industry innovation.
There was fierce competition between Ethereum and Bitcoin for first and second place in the market capitalization rankings. Many are already wondering whether Ethereum may overtake Bitcoin and become the most valuable cryptocurrency globally. However, the biggest altcoin has surpassed its archrival in price supremacy.

Santiment and IntoTheBlock, two of the most popular blockchain analytics services, have uncovered significant changes in Bitcoin whales’ holding strategy. An unprecedented 12 percent rise in the number of Bitcoin addresses containing between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC has occurred during the last seven days. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began on February 24th, according to Santiment data, the pace at which Bitcoin has accumulated has surged dramatically.
As a result of Western nations’ harsh financial restrictions against Russian businesspeople and officials, Bitcoin has accumulated rapidly. Santiment’s research suggests that smaller investors will follow the purchasing ambitions of whales. As a result, there is a great probability that the price of Bitcoin will rise shortly.
