Bitcoin’s brush with all-time high still hasn’t woken up retail investors

October 30, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin Search Volume

Despite its recent price rally, search interest for “Bitcoin” on Google is still generating only a fraction of the traffic that “AI” has over the last week.

Bitcoin is nearing an all-time high, yet analysts say retail investors are showing no more interest than usual.

“Bitcoin is on the verge of breaking all-time highs, and retail interest is still almost non-existent,” crypto analyst Miles Deutscher said in an Oct. 29 post on X.

Bitcoin (BTC) came within spitting distance of notching a new all-time high on Oct. 29, briefly touching $73,562, but has since cooled off to a price of $72,300 at the time of publication, per CoinGecko data.

Crypto exchange volumes reflect Bitcoin traders’ ‘reduced trading appetite’ — Glassnode

September 11, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Glassnode data highlights a “notable decline in trade activity over the last quarter,” but traders are hopeful that Q4 will bring a sharp trend reversal.

Bitcoin (BTC) continued its recovery on Sept. 10, reaching $58,000 to trade 8% above its four-week low of $53,955. Despite this recovery, Bitcoin investors “remain unconvinced” in the short term, according to an analysis from Glassnode.

Investors are interacting less with centralized exchanges (CEXs) with “contracting volumes across the board,” according to a Sept. 10 report published by Glassnode.

The report noted that CEXs remain central indicators of investors’ speculative activity and price discovery in the ever-evolving cryptocurrency market. They evaluated onchain volumes aggregated across CEXs to determine investor activity and speculation appetite.

Advisor holdings in Bitcoin ETFs rise, hedge fund stakes dip — Coinbase

August 17, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Coin Telegraph

Investment advisors are expanding their spot Bitcoin ETF holdings, but Coinbase warns that "large inflows" might not be seen immediately due to the slow summer period in the United States.

Investment advisors have ramped up their stakes in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) during the second quarter of 2024, while hedge fund holdings have seen a slight decline, according to cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase.

It is likely that the rate of investment advisors holding spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs is only going to increase further as “more brokerage houses complete their due diligence on these funds,” according to an Aug. 16 report published by Coinbase.

The proportion of institutional holders labeled as “investment advisors” rose 3% during the second quarter of 2024, now accounting for 9% of total institutional investment. The exchange pointed out that this is just based on firms managing more than $100 million in assets which are required to file the US Securities an Exchange Commission's (SECs) 13-F form.

August 5, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

Crypto traders appear to agree that today’s market rout is far from over.

Bitcoin (BTC) tumbled below $50,000 during the early Asian trading hours on Aug. 5 as risk-off sentiment gripped global markets. Bitcoin is down nearly 31% over the last three days in a “once in a 7-10 yr event” that has left analysts with mixed opinions on whether BTC will recover in the short term.

Bitcoin’s drop below $50,000 has seen more than $500 billion wiped out of the crypto market in just 24 hours, accompanied by the liquidation of many leverage positions.

According to data from Coinglass, approximately $1.08 billion worth of leverage positions have been liquidated across derivatives markets, with long liquidations accounting for 74% of these, at $803.76 million.

Coin Telegraph

Peter Thiel also believes that Bitcoin’s original vision as a cypherpunk, crypto-anarchist, freedom tool hasn’t been fulfilled.

Former PayPal CEO Peter Thiel has raised doubts that Bitcoin’s (BTC) future price can increase “dramatically” from current price levels.

The billionaire — who still owns “some” Bitcoin but not as much as he “should have” — isn’t sure where the next batch of buyers will come from now that Bitcoin has had its “ETF edition.”

“I'm not sure it's going to go up that dramatically from here. We got the ETF edition and I don't know who else buys it,” Thiel, a founder at the Founders Fund told CNBC on June 28.

Bitcoin will protect the wealth that AI creates: Pompliano

AI machines will need to use and store their wealth somewhere, and Bitcoin is the logical choice for that, Anthony Pompliano says.

Bitcoin (BTC) will be the preferred asset to secure wealth created from AI over the next decade, says Bitcoin bull and venture capitalist Anthony Pompliano.

“We are going into this automated world where AI is going to create enormous amounts of wealth, and Bitcoin is going to protect that wealth,” the Pomp Investments founder explained to CNBC in a June 24 interview.

Pompliano dismissed the idea that AI has come in and replaced Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry as the new hot tech trend, explaining that the two technologies will instead work in tandem over the next 10-years.
