Bitcoin dropped from $126,210 to $67,500.
A 46% crash in four months.

Trillions in market cap gone.

Everyone has a theory about what caused it. Macro. ETFs. Whales. Metals. Tech correlation. Geopolitics. Leverage.

But here's the truth: It wasn't just one thing.
It was a perfect storm of forces that all converged at once. And when they did, Bitcoin didn't stand a chance.

Let me break down EVERY major factor what caused the spark, what fueled the fire, and which one mattered most.
The Full List of Crash Causes
Here are all the reasons analysts, traders, and institutions have cited for the crash:
Massive deleveraging triggered liquidation cascades in futures and optionsSpot #BitcoinETFs saw heavy net outflows as institutions reduced riskHigh interest rates and sticky inflation pushed markets into risk-off modeBitcoin failed as "digital gold," badly lagging traditional safe havensCorporate treasury holders faced margin calls and sold aggressivelyHong Kong hedge funds and Yen carry trades collapsed, forcing liquidationsCrypto moved in lockstep with falling tech and AI stocks after weak earningsGeopolitical tensions, tariff threats, and policy uncertainty scared investorsNegative Coinbase premium signaled persistent U.S. institutional sellingWhale transfers and large outflows added steady downward pressureProfit-taking accelerated after Bitcoin's parabolic 2025 run peaked

Every single one of these played a role.
But they didn't all matter equally.
Let me show you which was THE trigger and which were just amplifiers.
My Take: Deleveraging Was the Spark, Everything Else Was Fuel

Here's what I believe happened:
The core driver was forced deleveraging and liquidation cascades.
Once leverage snapped, everything else ETF outflows, whale selling, correlation with tech became fuel, not the spark.
Leverage was the match. The rest was gasoline.
Let me explain why.
Factor #1: Deleveraging & Liquidation Cascades (THE SPARK - 35%)
This is where it all started.
What Happened
Bitcoin hit $126K in October 2025. Euphoria was at peak levels. And what do traders do during euphoria?

They leverage up.
50x leverage became common. 100x wasn't rare. Everyone was long, everyone was confident, and everyone assumed "$150K by year-end."

Then Bitcoin started dropping.
At first, it was manageable. A pullback to $100K? Normal. Healthy even.
But then $100K broke. Then $90K. Then $84K.

And that's when the death spiral began.

How the Cascade Works
Here's the mechanics of a liquidation cascade:
Step 1: Small Drop
BTC drops 5% from $100K to $95K. No big deal, right?

Wrong. At 20x leverage, a 5% move liquidates your position. Suddenly, thousands of highly leveraged longs get force-closed.

Step 2: Forced Selling
When you get liquidated, the exchange sells your position AT MARKET. This adds selling pressure, pushing price down further.

Step 3: More Liquidations
Price drops to $88K. Now the 10x leverage positions get liquidated. More forced selling. Price drops to $78K.

Step 4: Panic
At this point, even traders who weren't liquidated start panic-selling to avoid getting liquidated. More selling. Price crashes to $67K.

Step 5: Capitulation
Even low-leverage positions (3x-5x) start getting liquidated. Total wipeout.
The Numbers
$5.42 billion in liquidations since January 29Open interest dropped to 9-month lowsFunding rates flipped massively negative (shorts paying longs)
This wasn't organic selling. This was forced selling.

And forced selling doesn't care about fundamentals, narratives, or support levels. It just hunts liquidity.
Why This Was THE Spark
Every other factor on the list ETF outflows, whale selling, macro requires voluntary action.
Someone decides to sell. Someone chooses to reduce risk.
Leverage doesn't give you a choice. When your position hits liquidation price, it sells automatically. No emotions. No hesitation. Just pure, mechanical selling pressure.
That's why deleveraging was the spark. It created unavoidable, cascading sell pressure that triggered everything else.
Factor #2: Spot ETF Outflows (FUEL - 15%)
Once the leverage cascade started, institutions pulled the plug.
What Happened
U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw:
$817 million in outflows in a single day (one of the largest since launch)$1.33 billion in outflows the week before the crash (largest since February 2025)Sustained net negative flows throughout January-February
BlackRock's IBIT, Fidelity's FBTC, Grayscale's GBTC all bleeding capital.
Why It Mattered
ETFs were supposed to be the "diamond hands" of the market. Institutional buyers with long time horizons.
When they started selling, it sent a clear message: Smart money is exiting.
Retail saw this and panicked. "If BlackRock is selling, why am I holding?"
But It Was Fuel, Not Spark
ETF outflows didn't START the crash. They happened DURING the crash.
Institutions saw Bitcoin dropping (from leverage cascade), reassessed risk, and reduced exposure.
The outflows amplified the move down. But they didn't trigger it.
Factor #3: Macro Environment - High Rates & Inflation (FUEL - 12%)
The macroeconomic backdrop was terrible for risk assets.
What Happened
Kevin Warsh nominated as Fed chair (hawkish, tighter policy expected)Inflation staying sticky (2.9%-3.1% range, not falling to 2% target)Interest rates staying higher for longer (no rate cuts in sight)Dollar strength crushing risk assets (inverse relationship with BTC)
Why It Mattered
Bitcoin thrives in loose monetary conditions. When money is cheap and flowing, speculative assets pump.
But in tight conditions? Risk-off. Capital flees to safety.
The Liquidity Problem
High rates = expensive borrowing = less leverage = less speculation = lower prices.
It's not a coincidence that Bitcoin's biggest bull runs happened during:
2020-2021: Zero rates, massive QE2024-2025: Rate cut expectations, liquidity returning
And the crashes happened during:
2022: Aggressive rate hikes2026: Hawkish Fed, no cuts
But Again, It Was Fuel

Macro conditions don't change overnight. Rates were already high in December. Inflation was already sticky.
These created the environment for a crash. But they didn't pull the trigger.
The leverage cascade did.
Factor #4: Tech Stock Correlation (FUEL - 10%)

Bitcoin moved in perfect lockstep with falling tech and AI stocks.
What Happened
Nasdaq down 12% from January highsAI stocks bleeding after disappointing earnings (NVDA, TSLA, etc.)Tech sector rotation into defensive playsBitcoin correlation with QQQ hit 0.85+ (almost perfect)
Why It Mattered
Bitcoin is treated as a risk-on asset, not a safe haven.
When tech falls, Bitcoin falls. When AI hype cools, crypto cools.
Institutional portfolios that hold both tech and crypto? They sell both at the same time during risk-off.
The "Digital Gold" Failure
Bitcoin was supposed to decouple. It was supposed to be an inflation hedge, a safe haven, uncorrelated.
Instead, it moved exactly like a leveraged tech stock.
But It Was Fuel
Tech stocks didn't crash Bitcoin. They crashed together WITH Bitcoin—both driven by the same underlying force (risk-off deleveraging).
Correlation isn't causation. They're symptoms of the same disease, not cause-and-effect.
Factor #5: Whale Selling & Large Transfers (FUEL - 8%)
Big holders started moving Bitcoin to exchanges.
What Happened

Large whale addresses transferred tens of thousands of BTC to exchangesExchange inflows spiked during the crashKnown corporate holders and early adopters reduced positions
Why It Mattered
When whales move Bitcoin to exchanges, it signals intent to sell.
And when they sell, it's not $1,000 market orders. It's millions. Tens of millions. Hundreds of millions.
That kind of selling creates instant downward pressure.
But It Was Fuel
Whales didn't wake up one day and randomly decide to sell.
They saw:

Price dropping (leverage cascade)ETFs exiting (institutional fear)Macro deteriorating (risk-off)
And they reacted.
Their selling accelerated the crash. But it didn't start it.
Factor #6: Profit-Taking After $126K Peak (FUEL - 7%)
Bitcoin had a parabolic 2025 run. It was due for profit-taking.
What Happened
$BTC went from $40K (early 2025) to $126K (October 2025).
That's a 215% gain in 10 months.
Everyone who bought below $100K was massively in profit. And profits eventually get taken.
Why It Mattered
When Bitcoin is up 3x in a year, weak hands start selling.
"I'm up 200%. Time to lock in gains."
This creates natural resistance at highs and selling pressure on any weakness.
But It Was Fuel
Profit-taking is gradual. It doesn't cause 46% crashes in 4 months.
It creates topping patterns, consolidation, slow bleeds.
The crash wasn't slow. It was violent. That's leverage, not profit-taking.
Factor #7: "Digital Gold" Narrative Failure (FUEL - 5%)
Bitcoin was supposed to be a safe haven. It wasn't.
What Happened
When gold and silver crashed:
Gold fell 20% (from $5,595 to $4,400)Silver fell 38% (worst day since 1980)Bitcoin fell with them (not against them)
Why It Mattered
The entire "Bitcoin is digital gold" narrative died.
If Bitcoin can't act as a safe haven when traditional safe havens fail, what's the point?
Investors lost faith in the store-of-value thesis.
But It Was Fuel
The metals crash happened in late January. Bitcoin was already falling before that.
The metals crash accelerated Bitcoin's decline (contagion, forced selling). But it didn't cause the initial drop.
Factor #8: Geopolitical Uncertainty (FUEL - 5%)
Trade tensions, policy uncertainty, and geopolitical risk scared investors.
What Happened

Tariff threats escalatingGovernment shutdown concernsMiddle East tensionsChina-U.S. relations deteriorating
Why It Mattered
Geopolitical uncertainty = volatility.
And volatility scares institutional capital away.
"We can't hold risky assets when the world is unstable."
But It Was Fuel
Geopolitics is always uncertain. It's a constant background factor.
It creates the CONDITIONS for crashes, but it doesn't TRIGGER them.
Factor #9: Hong Kong Hedge Funds & Yen Carry Trades (FUEL - 3%)
Niche but impactful: leveraged funds unwinding positions.
What Happened
Hong Kong-based hedge funds that were long Bitcoin (via carry trades funded in Yen) faced margin calls when:
Bitcoin price droppedYen strengthened (carry trade unwind)
They were forced to liquidate Bitcoin holdings.
Why It Mattered
These are institutional-sized positions. When they unwind, it's not retail-level selling.
But It Was Fuel
This was a small, specific subset of the market. Important? Yes. But not the primary driver.
Putting It All Together: The Timeline

Here's how the crash actually unfolded:
October 2025: Bitcoin hits $126K ATH. Leverage at peak levels. Everyone's bullish.
November 2025: First correction to $103K. Some leverage clears, but most hold on.
December 2025: Consolidation around $100K. Leverage builds back up.
January 2026: Macro shifts (hawkish Fed fears). Price drops to $84K. Warning signs.
Late January 2026: Metals crash. Contagion spreads. Bitcoin drops to $78K.
February 1, 2026: Cascade begins. $5.42 billion liquidated. Price crashes to $75K.
February 5, 2026: Current price $67.5K. Still bleeding.
The pattern:

Leverage builds during euphoriaPrice drops trigger first wave of liquidationsForced selling creates cascadeEverything else (ETFs, whales, macro) reacts and amplifiesPrice collapses
Why Deleveraging Mattered Most
Let me be crystal clear about why leverage was THE spark:
1. It Was Unavoidable
Voluntary selling can be delayed. Institutions can "wait it out." Whales can "diamond hand."
But liquidations? They happen automatically. No choice. No delay.
2. It Was Cascading
One liquidation triggers the next. Creates a feedback loop. Mechanical, relentless selling pressure.
3. It Hunted Liquidity
Leverage doesn't care about support levels or narratives. It just finds liquidity (stop losses, liquidation clusters) and destroys them.
4. It Triggered Everything Else
Once leverage snapped:
ETFs saw the bloodbath and exitedWhales saw weakness and soldMacro fears intensifiedTech correlation kicked in
Deleveraging was the domino that knocked over all the others.
The Uncomfortable Truth
Here's what people don't want to hear:
Bitcoin's crash wasn't about fundamentals.
It wasn't about adoption slowing, or technology failing, or regulation crushing innovation.
It was about leverage destroying over-leveraged traders.
The Bitcoin network? Still running perfectly.

Transactions? Still processing.

Hash rate? Still secure.

Adoption? Still growing.
None of that mattered when $5.42 billion in leveraged positions got liquidated.
Because when leverage unwinds, narratives stop mattering and price just hunts liquidity.
What This Means Going Forward
If deleveraging was the primary cause, what does that mean for the future?
Good News:
Leverage has been flushed. Open interest at 9-month lows. The overleveraged longs are gone.No more cascade fuel. You can't liquidate positions that don't exist anymore.Foundation is cleaner. The next move up (when it happens) will be on healthier footing.
Bad News:
It can happen again. As soon as price rallies, leverage will build back up. And the cycle repeats.Macro is still bad. Even without leverage cascade, high rates and risk-off sentiment cap upside.Confidence is shaken. Many retail traders got wrecked. They won't come back quickly.
The Bottom Line
Bitcoin crashed 46% because:
35% - Deleveraging cascade (THE SPARK)

15% - ETF outflows

12% - Macro (rates/inflation)

10% - Tech correlation

8% - Whale selling

7% - Profit-taking

5% - Digital gold failure

5% - Geopolitics

3% - Carry trade unwinds

The spark was leverage. Everything else was fuel.
And once that spark lit, the whole thing went up in flames.
What's your take was it leverage, macro, or something else that caused the crash? Which factor do you think mattered most? Let me know below.

To win in these "Extreme Fear" conditions, you have to stop thinking like a trader and start thinking like a Business Owner.
When a store has a 30% off sale, people run into the store. In crypto, when there is a 30% sale, people run away.
The market is flushing out the final retail traders. Here is your general "Survivor's Strategy" for this environment. Here is the general strategy to win when the market is bleeding:
1. The "Rule of 3" (Capital Preservation)
• Divide your money: Never put 100% of your cash into the market at once. Divide your "buy" money into three equal parts.
• Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA) is the most effective way to recover after a loss because it fixes the biggest mistake traders make: trying to time the perfect bottom.
• Slow Entry: Buy the first part now, the second if it drops another 10%, and the third only if it drops 20%. This ensures you never "run out of bullets" before the bottom is hit.
2. Follow the "Fear Index," Not the News:
• The Cheat Code: When the Fear & Greed Index is between 5 and 15 (where we are now), the risk of a further massive crash is much lower than the chance of a big bounce.
• The Mindset: Buy when you feel "sick" to your stomach. If you feel excited to buy, it’s probably too late.
3. Exit the "Trash," Enter the "Kings"
• Flight to Quality: In a crash, small/new coins (like ZAMA i.e seed coins) can drop 90% and never come back. Large coins (BTC$BTC , ETH$ETH , SOL$SOL ) almost always recover.
• The Strategy: During a panic, move your money out of "risky" small coins and into the "Kings." Once the market stabilizes, you can move back into small coins for higher profits.
4. Use "Fixed" Stop-Losses, Not "Mental" Ones
• Automatic Discipline: Decide your "exit price" before you buy. Set the order in the exchange and do not touch it.
• Why? Your brain will try to convince you to "hold a little longer" when the price is falling. An automatic stop-loss removes the emotion that causes big losses.
5. The "Zoom Out" Test
• Look at the Weekly Chart: When you are panicking on the 5-minute chart, look at the 1-week chart. You will see that these "scary" drops are just tiny blips in a long-term uptrend.
• The Goal: Your job today is not to make 100% profit. Your job today is survival. If you survive the crash with your capital intact, you win the bull market.
• "Safe Portfolio" setup (e.g., 50% BTC, 30% SOL, 20% Cash) that you can use to stay calm during these volatile times.
6.The "Whale Entry" Rule
• Whales don't buy when the price is going up; they buy when people are crying.
• One another method is not to invest in risky coins instead buy those coins who are running against the flow of market.
The market is currently "raiding" liquidity. The goal of the big players is to make you sell your coins to them at a discount. If you can stay calm, keep 30–50% of your wallet in cash, and focus on high-quality coins (like SOL or BTC), you will come out of this month much stronger.
These are the few effective strategies to apply in these grive conditions, where the investors have always lost trust on the crypto markets, in such times these are the fruit full wayout to mitigate the loss and maximum protect one's money.

The crypto market is entering a new phase as institutional investors are becoming more active through Bitcoin ETFs. These ETFs allow large companies and traditional investors to enter the crypto market without directly holding Bitcoin.
Because of this, Bitcoin is now being seen as a long-term investment rather than just a risky asset. When big institutions invest, market confidence increases and prices often become more stable.
This also affects other cryptocurrencies. When Bitcoin rises due to ETF inflows, many altcoins follow the same trend. However, sudden outflows from ETFs can also cause strong market corrections.
For retail investors, this change means the market is becoming more mature. It is important to understand how institutional money works and how news about ETFs can move prices quickly.
In conclusion, Bitcoin ETFs and institutional adoption are reshaping the crypto market. This trend may decide the future direction of digital assets in the coming years.

As a seasoned crypto trader with years diving into both charts and fundamentals, I've seen cycles come and go, but 2026 marks a real pivot for Bitcoin. We're moving away from those predictable halving pumps to a world dominated by big-money ETF inflows. These funds are churning through over half a billion bucks daily— that's a whopping 12 times the fresh coins miners are digging up each day after the latest supply squeeze, which slashed output by about $40 million per session. Last month, the CoinDesk 20 took a 13.32% hit, and we saw $361.9 million bleed out from BTC-related products, signaling a breather in the momentum fueled by these flows as folks dialed back on risk. The setup feels stuck in a rut, with liquidity on exchanges looking shaky—order book thickness is down 40% from before the last dip, making every swing feel exaggerated. My take? We're eyeing a steady $90K to $1 20K band until some macro sparks like retirement fund integrations or rate slashes kick in. On-chain metrics reveal 11.1 million BTC sitting pretty in the green against 8.9 million underwater, hinting at a possible $60K safety net if those numbers even out, potentially capping the downside for this cycle.
Flow swings have been wild lately. We had a massive $1.7 billion pour-in over just three days mid-January, spearheaded by giants like BlackRock and Fidelity's FBTC, nudging $BTC close to $97K. Then bam—a $272 million exit the next day, though IBIT still pulled in $60 million, showing capital's just shuffling into more efficient spots during this sideways grind. It's not a full-blown panic; more like smart money adjusting sails in choppy waters.
What could bust us out? Keep tabs on 401(k) rollouts and central bank easing (I'd peg that upside scenario at 25% odds), with tells like basis yields topping 8%, ETF hauls exceeding $1 billion weekly, or official pension fund nods. Absent that, expect this range to linger.
Fundamentally, the game's changed—halvings are old news; it's all about these institutional pipes now, where a single hot day can soak up more supply than miners produce in a month. Technically, the thin books mean volatility's baked in, amplifying any flow shifts. We're de-leveraged after the flush, but without consistent buys or policy green lights, it's consolidation city.
Bitcoin Technical Analysis

BTCUSD Daily Chart – Deep Corrective Phase
Diving into the daily timeframe for Bitcoin, we're smack in the middle of a hefty pullback from that October 2025 peak around $126K. Price has sliced through multiple supports, now hovering near $67K after testing as low as $59K overnight. The chart screams correction, with BTC trading well below both the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which are acting as overhead resistance—think around $88K to $90K as the bias-flipping zone. Momentum is downward, but we're eyeing key Fib levels: the 62% retrace sits at about $57.5K, which could serve as a line in the sand if selling intensifies. RSI is dipping into oversold territory near 30, hinting at a potential short-term bounce, but the overall trend remains bearish until we reclaim $72K. A hold above $60K-$65K keeps the long-term bull intact; a break lower opens the door to $50K.

BTCUSD 4-Hour Chart – Fragile Support Test
On the shorter 4-hour view, Bitcoin's showing signs of exhaustion after the recent dive. We've got a series of lower highs and lows, confirming the short-term downtrend, with immediate resistance at $65.9K—breaching that could spark a relief rally toward $67.7K or even $70K. Support clusters around $62.5K to $59.8K, aligning with prior lows and that pivotal $60K psychological mark. The chart hints at a possible bearish wedge breakdown from the late-2025 consolidation, which resolved lower and accelerated the drop. Volume's picking up on the downside, but if we see a spike in buying here, it could form a double bottom around $59K-$60K. Watch for RSI divergence—if it hooks higher while price stabilizes, that'd be a bullish clue in this volatile setup. Overall, fragile but with room for a snap-back if flows turn positive. #BitcoinETFs #BTC #Binance

#MarketRally #CryptoNewss
$BTC $USDC $BNB
The crypto market has been a rollercoaster this month, with Bitcoin experiencing its largest one-day drop since November 2022, plummeting below $60,000 and wiping out $2 trillion in total market value since October's peak.
This rout, fueled by tech stock volatility, precious metals fluctuations, and broader economic uncertainties like Fed rate holds, led to over $800 billion in losses in the last month alone.
Yet, amid the chaos, signs of a rally are emerging. Bitcoin staged a stunning 11% rebound, climbing back above $70,000 in a single day – its biggest daily gain since March 2023.
Ether followed suit, recovering from a 13% dip to hover around $1,854.
This rebound has ignited optimism, with analysts noting Bitcoin's correlation to tech stocks (around 0.5-0.8) as a key driver.
Crypto stocks surged up to 25%, and the total market cap rose 4.5% to $2.45 trillion in 24 hours.
Posts on X echo this sentiment, with users like @anderson_ninna declaring the end of the accumulation phase and the start of "full momentum mode" in crypto.
Even traditional stocks, like Intel soaring to a four-year high on AI infrastructure bets, are fueling cross-market rally talks.
However, caution remains. Bitcoin is down 28% year-to-date, and experts warn of a "sell-the-rally" phase if key levels like $70,000 aren't reclaimed.
With institutional flows from spot ETFs turning negative and miner selling pressures, this could be a short-lived bounce or the spark for a true rally. Traders are eyeing $71,000 as the next resistance, with potential for further gains if risk appetite stabilizes.

📌 What is ARC?🪙💰
ARC generally refers to a cryptocurrency token. In the current crypto ecosystem, “ARC” is associated with an ARC-20 token‍ — a token standard on the Bitcoin blockchain (similar in concept to Ethereum’s ERC-20). ARC-20 tokens are fungible tokens created via the Atomicals Protocol on #BitcoinETFs $BTC . �
Binance Academy
Unlike major tokens like BTC or ETH, ARC is a relatively small-market asset and may not be a major listed token on Binance’s primary exchange order books — for example, it’s not guaranteed to be directly tradable on Binance spot markets. However, the broader category of #ARC -20 tokens has seen support in parts of Binance’s ecosystem.

Institutional flows across crypto exchange-traded funds remain under pressure, with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recording sustained net outflows, while smaller inflows appear selectively in Solana and XRP-linked products.

Key takeaways:
Bitcoin ETFs recorded a net outflow of $434.1 million on Feb. 5Ethereum ETFs saw $80.8 million in net outflows on the same daySolana ETFs posted a modest net inflow of $2.9 millionXRP spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $1.28 million, standing out amid broader weakness
The data underscores continued risk aversion among larger allocators, even as pockets of relative resilience emerge.
Across the major products, flows suggest that institutional capital remains cautious following recent market volatility and forced deleveraging.
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to bleed
Bitcoin ETF flows remain decisively negative. On Feb. 5, total net outflows reached approximately $434 million, with redemptions spread across major issuers including BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, ARK, and Grayscale. The persistent selling pressure follows several weeks of inconsistent inflows, highlighting fragile institutional confidence despite Bitcoin stabilizing near the $65,000 level.
Ethereum ETFs are showing a similar pattern. Net outflows totaled roughly $80.8 million, driven largely by withdrawals from BlackRock and Fidelity products, partially offset by small inflows into select funds. Despite Ethereum’s longer-term structural narrative, short-term positioning remains defensive, with staking-related uncertainty and broader market risk weighing on flows.
Solana and XRP show relative resilience
In contrast, Solana ETFs recorded a net inflow of $2.9 million, with modest buying concentrated in Bitwise and Fidelity products. While small in absolute terms, the inflow stands out against the broader ETF landscape and suggests selective interest in higher-beta assets following recent drawdowns.
XRP-linked spot ETFs also posted net inflows of approximately $1.28 million. Gains were led by the Franklin XRP ETF and the Canary XRP ETF, which more than offset outflows from Grayscale’s XRP Trust. The positive net flow indicates continued investor interest in XRP exposure, even as larger-cap crypto ETFs face sustained redemptions.
Overall, the ETF flow data paints a picture of uneven institutional positioning. While Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs continue to experience heavy outflows, selective inflows into Solana and XRP products suggest that some investors are cautiously rotating rather than fully exiting the space. Until broader sentiment improves and volatility subsides, ETF flows are likely to remain fragmented, reflecting a market still searching for conviction.
#BitcoinETFs

$BTC | $USD1 | $RIVER
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas notes that interest in spot Bitcoin ETFs remains historically strong, despite the recent sharp decline in Bitcoin's price. Balchunas highlights the performance of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), which has seen its assets under management peak at $100 billion before declining to $60 billion. Despite this drop, Balchunas considers $60 billion to be an "extraordinary" figure for an ETF with only around 500 days of history.

If IBIT maintains this level for the next three years, it would solidify its position as the fastest ETF to reach $60 billion. Notably, only about 6% of total assets exited Bitcoin ETFs, with 94% of investors holding onto their positions. This indicates strong long-term investor behavior, even in the face of significant price volatility.
