Recent data suggests that Bitcoin’s price could be on the brink of a surge, fueled by significant foreign exchange (FX) outflows from China totaling a staggering $75 billion. This surge in outflows has historically preceded substantial pumps in the price of Bitcoin, indicating a potential bullish trend in the crypto market.
Last October, China experienced an unprecedented $75 billion in FX outflows, marking the highest monthly outflow since the 2015 currency devaluation. This surge raised concerns about the country’s economic stability and its potential repercussions on global markets. Experts speculate that these outflows could trigger further devaluation of China’s currency, prompting investors to seek refuge in digital assets like Bitcoin.
At the time of the outflows, Bitcoin was trading at around $30,000. Over the subsequent four months, it witnessed an astonishing surge of over 100%, highlighting its status as a favored asset for bypassing China’s stringent capital controls.
Despite official reports indicating stable Chinese FX reserves nearing a four-year high of $3.246 trillion, a comprehensive analysis of FX flows reveals a sharp increase in net outflows from China. March alone witnessed a staggering $39 billion in net outflows, marking the fastest pace since the spike observed in September.
The surge in outflows signifies Chinese investors’ quest for alternative assets amidst economic uncertainties and regulatory pressures. With the US dollar gaining strength across the board and FX market volatility on the rise, Bitcoin has emerged as a preferred hedge against currency devaluation and capital controls.
As China aims to bolster its export competitiveness, currency devaluation advocates could gain traction, similar to the events preceding the 2015 FX devaluation.
With China’s economic landscape in flux, one thing’s for sure: the Bitcoin story is far from over.
