The latest report released by Grayscale indicates that Bitcoin's hedging properties as 'digital gold' have recently been challenged, with its price behavior closer to that of high-risk assets such as tech stocks. The report analyzes that this high correlation with the software sector partly stems from market concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence and the capital flows brought by Bitcoin ETFs, indicating that it is becoming more deeply integrated into the traditional financial system. Bitcoin rebounded from $60,000 to $69,000; although spot trading volume has increased, it remains low, showing reduced selling pressure and cautious buyers, with the market exhibiting characteristics of capital exchange. Derivative positions are leaning towards defense, with ETF trading volume surging to $45.5 billion but accompanied by capital outflows, indicating low risk appetite. On-chain data reflects a warming of fundamental activities, but net capital inflow is negative and unrealized losses dominate the supply. The key to the continued market recovery lies in the repair of spot demand to stabilize prices above recent lows.
This shift has far-reaching implications for the crypto market, especially for BTC. In the short term, Bitcoin's price may be more susceptible to stock market fluctuations and macro sentiment, exacerbating market volatility. However, in the long run, this reflects its ongoing evolution as an emerging asset class, with increased institutional participation laying a broader acceptance foundation. Although it will take time to completely replace gold's monetary status, in the wave of global economic digitization, Bitcoin's narrative as a store of value is still gradually developing.
