Overall Market Development
The fourth quarter of 2024 was marked by a revived upside momentum in the digital asset market, with total crypto market capitalization increasing from $2.3 trillion to $3.4 trillion. Riding this wave, Bitcoin reached its new all-time-high to over $108,000, outperforming other assets classes such as Gold and the Nasdaq. Other notable cryptocurrencies also contributed a notable amount of over $500 billion to market capitalization, with DePIN and AI agents showing promising growth and development.

The ABAG portfolio company peaq successfully launched its mainnet, achieving a staggering Fully Diluted Valuation of over $2.8 billion in December 2024. In addition to its notable debut, peaq’s launch has deeper meaning to the whole industry as it solidifies the sector of DePIN, with peaq helping over 50 projects to bring 22 industries onto blockchain. Another noteworthy development was the launch of Panoptic’s decentralized trading platform on Ethereum, which reached a total value locked (TVL) of almost $2 million in the first quarter of 2025.

The regulatory developments remained the central drive for this hike. Key factors include U.S. elections settlement with a pro-crypto president and SEC workforce, and EU’s MiCA implementation advancing institutional interests in crypto. Further notable advancements in the first quarter of 2025 included the establishment of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, designed to safeguard the United States’s national interests by holding a portion of federal funds in Bitcoin, and the creation of the United States Digital Asset Stockpile, a government-managed collection of various digital assets aimed at stabilizing the U.S. position in the global crypto economy.
