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

  • Wechat scan to share

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.
