What A Week!

We’ve previously spoken about idiosyncratic factors in Bitcoin’s favour that could break its correlation to equities – the post-halving impact on supply, the ETF effect on demand, and a positive regulatory environment.

But wow, what a week – Bybit’s exchange hack, record outflows in the Spot Bitcoin ETFs, and the 90% plus drops in a multitude of Solana memecoins launched by high-ranking officials across different nations would have been enough to damage bullish sentiment without risk-on sentiment tanking across all assets. 

Still, there have been some more signs of the pro-crypto regulatory environments – BlackRock announced they are adding a 1% to 2% allocation to the $48 billion iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (ticker IBIT) in its target allocation portfolios that allow for alternatives. That news came amidst the dropping of several cases against crypto firms.
