Bernstein Increases Year-End Bitcoin Price Target to $90,000
Analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein raised their Bitcoin price target for the end of the year from $80,000 to $90,000 due to improving market conditions. Analysts predict that Bitcoin could rise as high as $150,000 at the 2024 – 2025 cycle peak, and they expect the upcoming halving event to have less impact on miners compared to previous years. Factors such as strong ETF inflows, low miner leverage, and high network transaction fees contribute to the halving event having a relatively mild impact relative to miners’ revenues.

USA Sues Apple
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a sweeping antitrust lawsuit against tech giant Apple, alleging that the company’s app market rules and monopoly illegally stifle competition and stifle innovation. The March 21 complaint, backed by 16 state attorneys general, alleged that Apple had established a monopoly in the smartphone market and was using that monopoly to “coerce developers” into using its payment system, thus trying to lock both developers and users into its platform. The U.S. Department of Justice alleged that Apple’s App Store guidelines and developer agreements contain a set of variable rules and restrictions that allow the company to charge higher fees, stifle innovation, deliver a less secure or inferior user experience, and stifle competitive alternatives.
