TYMIO founder Georgii Verbitskii predicts Bitcoin will reach $180,000 by the end of 2025, expecting it to hit $100,000 by the end of 2024 and potentially $120,000 early in 2024. He attributed the anticipated price rise to ongoing supply-side issues that may maintain high volatility in the market. Meanwhile, Alexey Pertsev, developer of the Tornado Cash mixing protocol, will remain in pre-trial detention as he awaits trial, raising concerns among developers of privacy technologies. This decision follows heightened regulatory scrutiny over Tornado Cash, which saw a resurgence in usage. Additionally, turnover at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is escalating post-election, with Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga announcing his resignation effective January 17, shortly before President-elect Donald Trump takes office. SEC Chair Gary Gensler also resigned, emphasizing his commitment to ensuring a robust capital markets environment during his tenure, which included over 100 enforcement actions against crypto companies.
