Talk about a click bait title as there are no insiders in crypto unless you're launching your own meme coin that you own 80% of lol That being said today we are going to look at some factors that crypto is waiting for in order to really pull off a massive bull run. To be fair though crypto has seen a rather large run already in the last two years and my prediction of max $114,000 has held true.
However, that prediction might now soon change as we are starting to see a number of things start to take shape. But not only that what sectors of crypto are set to benefit from these moves?

The Memes
Meme coins are the wild west of crypto, filled with scams, rug pulls and well once in a while a cool project that people get behind. Meme coins are highlight sought after for this reason plus they are normally cheap under 1 cent or under $1 they are not meant to be multi thousand dollar tokens just by the way they are setup.
The meme coin sector will only continue on. With about 1% of them sticking around or less for a given longer period of time think of Doge, Shiba and Pepe as some examples of that while others will be short lived, days, hours or seconds in rug pull cases.
The big reason people also love them is because of the stories that come out of people investing $1,000 and turning it into $100,000 or more. It's the get rich quick that everyone always falls for no matter how much try tell them not to.
AI
AI is hot and it's only getting bigger. While personally there's a lot of it I don't like and I don't think it works well at all there are other aspects where it does work and works very well.
The biggest part of which AI will be involved with crypto is via Agents which I've covered many times in the past. Pretty much giving the AI tasks and then it figures out how to acomplish those tasks on it's own. It could have input from the user but it would be minimal.
ETFs
The ETF sector is going to grow and with it we will get a number of new crypto token listings for ETFs and also a lot of new access to capital. ETFs however don't mean you own and hold it while you should you can't really trade in your ETF for a real bitcoin sent to you for example. The same thing goes with gold ETFs where you buy the gold asset but you don't actully hold the asset yourself.
The main thing however are the big ones like XRP(ripple), litecoin, solana etc all have pending lawsuits against them still thus the chances of listing are lower.
Stablecoins
While boring AF to us crypto people it actully holds a ton of value in terms of what it brings to the crypto sector. It gives options for defi and other investment means in the FIAT world but faster and traded 24/7 unlike current markets.
It also opens up one of the easiest and cheapest ways to move money from one person to another within the same country or even outside of it.
This has opened up a world of new transaction but also now can be applied to buying things, paying bills and so on. Thus all leading to more options for every day people to become a Banker themselves and earn those nice rewards while also having instant fast access to money anywhere.
Regulation
Since about 2017 maybe a bit sooner there's been a huge call for regulations on bitcoin and crypto so that companies could start building on it without issues or fear of getting sued for doing something they didn't even know was wrong or there was no law for in the first place.
While personally I hate the idea of regulation as I'm a OG crypto user from back in 2011 I do understand the value in it as it allows for anyone to get involved, start a business and not constantly worry about the SEC taking you to court over things that make no sense.
Thus clear regulation and framework should open this up in a huge way allowing for massive development, VC funds and more to enter the space in a way we haven't seen yet.
