In a recent video, Nicholas Merten from DataDash raises concerns about Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market, especially regarding Bitcoin ETFs.
While many expected these ETFs to boost Bitcoin’s price to $100,000 or more, Merten points out the opposite is happening, Bitcoin is experiencing net outflows, with more withdrawals than additions. This signals a lack of interest from institutional investors, which could negatively impact future price movements.
-
Institutional money is crucial for maintaining Bitcoin’s supply and demand balance. Merten stresses that it's unclear who will sustain the price without these large players.
-
Major products like the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust and Fidelity's Bitcoin ETFs are seeing significant outflows, dampening hopes of a strong price surge.
Altcoins aren’t faring much better. Merten highlights that coins like Ethereum, Solana, and even newer trends like AI tokens and meme coins are underperforming. He attributes this to a lack of innovation, leading to stagnant prices.
Merten advises caution, urging investors to wait for clear signs of momentum before making moves. Without strong trends, jumping into the market based on hype could lead to losses.
