Bitcoin's Price Pullback and Institutional Interest in Bitcoin-based Products

June 19 (Cointime) - Bitcoin's price has fallen by over 16% since reaching a high of $31,000 two months ago, disappointing directional traders who had bet on its rise. However, the cryptocurrency is still up almost 60% year-to-date, outperforming the Nasdaq's 38% increase. The weakening of the dollar and the decreasing volatility of the bond market may be positive for Bitcoin, as any decline in the dollar is beneficial for the cryptocurrency. Despite the SEC's anti-crypto stance, BlackRock's application for a spot-based Bitcoin ETF indicates that institutional demand for Bitcoin-based products remains strong.

Blofin CEO Matt Hu believes that the SEC lawsuit may not have a significant impact on BTC and ETH holders, but it could result in all altcoins being recognized as securities and subject to securities regulations. This could lead to more offshore and decentralized trading of altcoins, with liquidity becoming more concentrated in mainstream cryptos like BTC and ETH. The recent breakout in Bitcoin's dominance rate suggests that investors may be shifting their focus away from altcoins and towards Bitcoin. The DeFi Investor, a pseudonymous analyst, also believes that Bitcoin may continue to outperform altcoins.

  • FASB's fair value accounting standard for Bitcoin officially takes effect today

    On December 16th, according to The Bitcoin Historian, an editor at Bitcoin Magazine, the fair value accounting standards for Bitcoin by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) officially took effect. Previously, companies could only measure their held Bitcoin assets by historical cost and could not reflect their market value growth. The new standard allows companies to use fair value measurement methods to more accurately reflect the actual value of their Bitcoin assets, which will reduce accounting barriers for companies to include Bitcoin on their balance sheets. MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor previously stated that FASB has officially passed fair value accounting rules for Bitcoin, which will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. This improvement will encourage companies to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset.
