As 2024 draws to a close, YouHodler is proud to reflect on a year of remarkable growth and innovation. We've empowered our clients with the tools they need to navigate the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency, and our platform has reached new heights. Let's look back at our key achievements in 2024 and what exciting plans we have for 2025.

A Year of Growth: YouHodler's Achievements in 2024

Exceptional Trading Volumes

One of the year's highlights was our exceptional trading volume performance. We consistently surpassed the broader market average by a staggering 25% over the past 18 months. This is a clear testament to our users’s trust in our platform and the effectiveness of our trading tools.

Our Own Unique YHDL Token

This year marked the launch of the $YHDL token, a symbol of YouHodler's vision and success. The token boasts a comprehensive rewards system, allowing users to earn $YHDL through our Loyalty Levels program. This initiative has been met with great enthusiasm from our community.

New Tokens and Investment Opportunities

We significantly expanded our asset offerings in 2024 by adding over 50 new tokens, including 

  • PEPE, 
  • JUP, 
  • NOT, 
  • SHIB, 
  • FLOKI, 
  • ZRO, 
  • JASMY, 
  • HMSTR, 
  • and ONDO.

 This commitment to bringing the most exciting and innovative digital assets to our platform ensures you have access to the best trading opportunities.

Rewarding Loyalty: Airdrops and Bonuses

To show our appreciation for our loyal users, we launched a token airdrop with a prize pool exceeding $80,000. Additionally, a generous 100% trading bonus on deposits (up to $10,000) was introduced to help users maximize their investments and kickstart their YouHodler journey.

Enhanced User Experience

We've made significant strides in creating a seamless and user-friendly crypto trading experience. In 2024, we introduced:

  • Buy Crypto in 30 Seconds: This highly anticipated feature allows users to purchase crypto in just 30 seconds, significantly streamlining the investment process.
  • Apple Pay and Bank Card Options: We expanded payment options to include Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank cards for faster and more convenient crypto purchases.
  • Uma Partnership: We are the first in Europe to become a partner of a global UMA (Universal Money Address) network that is expected to soon become the industry standard for crypto transfers. With this solution, you can send money to anyone else with just a few clicks.

  • Personal IBANs: Our new personal EUR IBANs further simplify transactions by enabling smoother fund transfers and quick payments.

Staying Informed with Market Insights

We understand the importance of staying informed in the dynamic crypto market. This year, we introduced exclusive weekly market overviews from our esteemed Chief of Markets, Ruslan Lienkha. These insightful analyses, featured in leading publications like Reuters, Forbes, and Coindesk, keep our clients abreast of the latest market movements and key events.

Key Market Analytics of 2024

2024 has been a monumental year for the crypto industry, driven by macroeconomic factors, Bitcoin’s halving, and institutional adoption:

  • Macroeconomic Factors and Monetary Policy:
    Persistent inflation kept Federal Reserve rates elevated, with only minor cuts expected by year-end. This pressured high-risk assets like cryptocurrencies but also influenced institutional activity. Bitcoin’s price movements mirrored broader stock market trends, reflecting a strong correlation between risk-on and risk-off sentiment. Optimism surrounding potential rate cuts in the U.S. and Europe fueled periodic capital inflows into crypto, sparking several rallies.
  • Bitcoin Halving and Price Consolidation:
    Anticipation of Bitcoin's halving largely priced in early 2024, reinforcing long-term bullish expectations. Bitcoin consolidated within a range of $60k-$70k for much of the year, breaking past $90k by year-end. The hash rate also saw steady growth, underscoring miner confidence and increasing institutional investment in mining infrastructure.
  • Institutional Adoption and ETFs:
    Approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs marked a turning point, making crypto more accessible to traditional investors. These developments bolstered market credibility, increased liquidity, and contributed to greater price stability.

Competitive Loan Rates and Terms

YouHodler is committed to providing the best value possible. Throughout 2024, we've consistently offered highly competitive loan rates and terms that surpass market averages. We believe crypto-backed loans should be accessible, flexible, and rewarding for all users.

Our Commitment to Industry Leadership

We actively maintain a strong presence and leadership role within key industry associations, demonstrating our commitment to the growth and development of the cryptocurrency sector. Our CEO, Ilya Volkov, has been re-elected to the Board of Directors of the prestigious Crypto Valley Association for the third consecutive year—a testament to his expertise and our trusted reputation in the industry. 

Furthermore, we proudly became a Founding Partner of Italy's first professional cryptocurrency association, AssoCasp. We firmly believe that our success is deeply interconnected with the success of the entire industry. This is why we prioritize collaboration and active participation in professional associations, driving progress and setting high standards for the future.

Team Expansion and Global Reach

Our dedicated team has grown to over 100 talented individuals worldwide, all working diligently to improve our services and support our expanding user base. Additionally, we successfully obtained licenses in 

  • Italy, 
  • Spain, 
  • and Argentina,

 solidifying our position as a global leader and demonstrating our commitment to regulatory compliance.

Looking Ahead: YouHodler in 2025

The future is bright for YouHodler, and we're excited to share a glimpse of what we're working on for the year ahead:

  • Crypto Bundles: We'll be launching intelligently diversified crypto bundles curated by our top experts. These pre-selected bundles will offer a convenient and profitable way for you to diversify your portfolio.
  • Crypto Cards: Our upcoming crypto cards will revolutionize how you manage your crypto finances, further enhancing your crypto experience.
  • YHDL Token Listing and Airdrop: We're preparing for the highly anticipated public listing of the $YHDL token. Additionally, an exclusive $YHDL airdrop will be conducted as a token of appreciation for our loyal users.
