Perhaps the latest correction is a sign that cryptocurrencies, specifically the most prominent digital currency, Bitcoin, are coming of age. Despite the insane price targets of over USD 100,000 spread by self-proclaimed crypto gurus via YouTube and Twitter, the digital currency consolidated sharply within hours to around USD 42,000 from the high of USD 68,800. Now came another run-up and the battle for the USD 50,000. According to industry insiders like MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, Bitcoin will always rise.

    Bitcoin Group with milestone

    Bitcoin Group shares were hit hard during the recent sharp correction. After a mid-November high of EUR 56.00, the value of the Herford-based Company plummeted to prices below EUR 40. Currently, the share is on the verge of breaking out above the EUR 42.50 mark again, which should generate another buy signal. If the overall market continues to rise, the next higher resistance at EUR 46 should only be a matter of time.

    Operationally, a milestone was reached with the expansion of the marketplace offering for the approximately 1 million customers on bitcoin.de to include crypto-to-crypto trading. As of now, trading of pure cryptocurrency pairs is also possible on the trading platform operated via the subsidiary, futurum bank AG. Customers can trade Ethereum, Ripple and Dogecoin against bitcoin via Bitcoin.de. Bitcoin Group SE is thus the first German provider to offer crypto-to-crypto trading options on its platform.

    The analysts at GBC AG see the stock as a clear buy candidate with a price target of EUR 120.00. Due to the high scalability of the business model, the experts also expect margin improvements with the increasing revenue and anticipate EBITDA of EUR 18.31 million in 2021 and EUR 20.05 million in 2022. Net income should grow accordingly to EUR 12.40 million in 2021 and EUR 13.63 million in 2022.

    CoinSmart focuses on regulation

    With a market capitalization of EUR 37.78 million, crypto platform CoinSmart is still valued at a manageable level compared to the major players. There are already considerable advantages in terms of impending regulation. The Canadian Company itself is already regulated in its home country, Europe and the United States. It is active in over 40 other countries and sees itself as a full-service provider for digital currencies. In addition to regular crypto trading, CoinSmart also wants to offer credit cards, tokenization of tangible assets, NFTs and, for active traders, derivatives and margin trading.

    The strategy of the management around CEO Justin Hartzmann lies in the fact that a regulated business convinces customers and creates the long-term trust that financial products should stand for. In doing so, the Canadians seem to have struck a chord. The number of customers increased from 26,500 at the end of 2020 to 158,600 at the end of October 2021. In terms of competition, the CEO sees his Company as significantly undervalued compared to its peer group: "CoinSmart is currently valued at just over twice its revenue. For Voyager, this value is more than 10, and for Netcoins, it is around 14. Of course, companies are not easily comparable 1:1 with each other, but we do not consider this discrepancy justified. Unlike our competitors, we have a positive net result and a strong user base with more than 120,000 customers. To catch up with the competition in market valuation alone, our market capitalization would have to multiply," Hartzman said.

    BYD creates new capacity

    Although rival Tesla already makes it possible to pay for your Tesla with Bitcoin and, more recently, even merchandise with the meme coin DOGE, you don't hear anything from the Chinese electric car company in this regard yet. Instead, the "Build Your Dream" Company attracts attention with consistent operational news.

    Due to the strongly increasing sales figures, BYD wants to expand its battery production capacities in China significantly. Thus, a contract was signed with the city government of Fuzhou in the Chinese province of Jiangxi to construct a new battery production facility for e-vehicles. The technology company plans to invest around EUR 1.1 billion in the gigafactory with a capacity of 15 GWh per year in the Fuzhou Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone.

    BYD's share price recovered to EUR 28 after a correction and a setback. The Company is considered one of the most interesting in the electric car market in the long term.


    Cryptocurrencies suffered from sharp price corrections in recent weeks. As a result, the prediction of prices above USD 100,000 for bitcoin is history for the time being. Bitcoin Group, as well as CoinSmart, are poised for a rise. BYD could also turn around after a short setback.

    Germany is at a crossroads: With a planned debt surge of EUR 900 billion for infrastructure and defense, inflation, rising interest rates, and a possible loss of the top credit rating are looming. In this uncertain environment, investors seek protection – but where are the opportunities? Commerzbank offers traditional banking with interest, while Desert Gold is profiting from the precious metals boom. And then there is Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), which aims to protect investors' money from devaluation with Bitcoin as "digital gold" while also profiting from increases in the cryptocurrency price. Three companies, three strategies: Which protects the portfolio better from the debt avalanche, and which stock has potential? An analysis between security, precious metals, and crypto risk.

    The tech industry is at a turning point. Companies that survive today not only combine disruptive innovation with regulatory adaptability but also create ecosystems that merge data, security, and global scalability. Whether in the shadow of geopolitical budget debates, the race for AI monopolies, or the battle for the next payment revolution, the real winners are those who turn uncertainty into growth. Three players are demonstrating this in different ways – one through algorithms that optimize data, another through quantum encryption for financial transactions, and the third through AI clouds that power entire economies. Who are they, and how do they maintain their dominance?

    The earnings season for the full year 2024 is in full swing, with quite a few companies significantly outperforming analyst forecasts. Another topic currently keeping the world in suspense is US President Donald Trump's "America First" policy. As can be seen from the negotiations with Ukraine, the "new sheriff in town" is concerned with securing rare earth deposits. When it comes to the metal tungsten, however, the US government seems to be already one step ahead, and a lesser-known company is likely to emerge as the winner here.
