Bitcoin Rose on Rumors in 2023. How to Predict What Comes Next.

Bitcoin may be a relatively new technology. It can still follow some pretty old market maxims.Back in October postings on X, formerly known as Twitter, suggested that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission had finally approved the listing of a BlackRock exchange-traded fund that would directly track the price of bitcoin. It was quickly clear that this wasn’t correct. The SEC has delayed decisions on so-called spot ETFs, with some key deadlines now in 2024.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

How the Fintech Rally Could Fizzle in 2024

Financial-technology companies have rallied in 2023 even as rates rose. Some could now face risks from falling rates, as well as stepped-up competition.Higher rates did hit “fintech” stocks in many ways. Not only do growth stocks in general often trade at lower multiples during periods of rising rates, but fintechs in particular had benefited from near-zero rates for funding loans and encouraging risk-taking by trading customers.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
