The index options – listed derivatives offering a quick and inexpensive way to amplify exposure to bitcoin – on a bitcoin index would give institutional investors and traders an alternative way to hedge their exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

    Wall Street Will Capitulate to Bitcoin, Predicts Anthony Pompliano

    Speaking on “The Big Money Show,” Pompliano emphasized that traditional finance players are overthinking the simplicity of the cryptocurrency, which in his opinion will ultimately lead to a massive shift of capital into Bitcoin.As the price of the major cryptocurrency hovers around the crucial $68,000 mark, with potential for growth toward $70,200, Pompliano highlighted the core principles that make Bitcoin a standout investment. Its fixed supply of 21 million coins and resistance to government monetary policies are among the key factors driving long-term value. As Pompliano underscores, the success of the major cryptocurrency lies in its simplicity, contrasting sharply with Wall Street’s need for complex financial products, such as options, leverage and paper Bitcoin like ETFs and futures.As Bitcoin continues to test the $68,000 level, the market is closely watching for signs of a breakout toward $70,000 per BTC.The epic prediction by Pompliano adds further weight to the growing belief that Bitcoin is poised for another surge, particularly as institutional investors begin to realize its long-term potential.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Bitcoin (BTC) Whale Buying Shows Something Big Coming

    “Never in the history of Bitcoin have whales been buying BTC this aggressive,” Francois wrote.This highlights that the current accumulation of Bitcoin by whales has surpassed records previously set on the market. Experts say this kind of purchase by these large holders signals renewed confidence in Bitcoin’s future price appreciation.Notably, whales go on a “shopping spree” for an asset when there are indications of positive price movement or an advantage to gain. This could result from an expected positive event, such as the likelihood of the price hitting a new level.Notably, many traditional investors are beginning to embrace digital assets through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which have helped boost the number of whales on the market.Since BTC whales usually have market insights beyond retail investors, some experts consider their accumulation strategic. Like chess players, it appears that Bitcoin whales are strategically accumulating the asset and might turbocharge the Uptober run in the push for a new Bitcoin ATH.This article was originally published on U.Today More

    Saylor’s tweet resonated as many in the Bitcoin and broader crypto community shared this sentiment. His message was seemingly a warning to crypto holders: those who hesitated to buy or accumulate more may soon find themselves wishing they had acted sooner.

The largest cryptocurrency is currently down 8.07% from its all-time high of almost $74,000 attained in March.Saylor is estimated to own about $1 billion in Bitcoin; about four years ago, the executive chairman of the largest public corporate holder of Bitcoin revealed in a tweet that he possessed 17,732 Bitcoin and had not sold any of the digital tokens.MicroStrategy shares have risen nearly 1,000% after the company began purchasing Bitcoin.

    ‘Diamond Hands’ Bitcoin Investor Sells BTC After 5 Years of HODLing

    However, in the last month, they sold 500 BTC for about $32.13 million. After these transactions, the investor currently holds 301 BTC, equivalent to roughly $20.42 million, resulting in a total profit of $44.28 million.Meanwhile, the price of the major cryptocurrency continues to circle around the crucial $68,000 level. With no sellers in sight, the consensus opinion at this stage is that if the price holds there and the growth continues toward $70,200, it could mark the beginning of a new wave of growth.This logic is based on the fact that BTC has reached the target of $68,550, which is the final target from a technical point of view, with $52,500 as the starting point and key support currently at $65,800. On the one hand, consolidation below this level in the longer term would open the door to levels as low as $63,000 and $55,800 per BTC. On the other hand, as long as we are closer to $70,200, the tug-of-war rope is on the bulls’ side.From this point of view, if the price of Bitcoin remains in a sort of equilibrium, the actions of the so-called “diamond hand” whale are fully understandable and rational, as they are just adjusting the risk to the current not-so-clear picture, still saving most of the holdings as the bullish bias remains the main one.This article was originally published on U.Today More
