Renowned crypto analytics firm, Block Scholes, delivers a surprising revelation, highlighting the detachment of Bitcoin’s fate from U.S. stock market sentiment.
Here’s the breakdown.
Data from Block Scholes indicates a sharp decline in the 90-day rolling correlation between Bitcoin’s spot price and the Nasdaq and S&P 500 indices. This correlation has plummeted to near zero, reaching its lowest level in two years since July 2021.
Block Scholes’ research analyst, Andrew Melville, associates this decline with the recovery of both Bitcoin and U.S. stocks from losses incurred during the previous tightening cycle. The increasing independence of Bitcoin from U.S. stocks offers a fresh perspective on market dynamics and signifies the growing maturity of the cryptocurrency space.
The decoupling of Bitcoin from traditional stock market trends implies that the price movements of Bitcoin may no longer be closely tied to the performance of U.S. stocks. This newfound independence presents an opportunity for investors seeking to diversify their portfolios across different asset classes.
By incorporating Bitcoin, investors can potentially mitigate risks and enhance their overall investment strategy.
Attention now turns to the highly anticipated Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) filings. Industry giants such as BlackRock, Fidelity, WisdomTree, VanEck, and Invesco have reignited optimism in the crypto market. Since BlackRock’s filing on June 15, Bitcoin has generated an impressive 25% return, regardless of the range-bound activity observed in U.S. stock indices.
Ilan Solot, co-head of digital assets at Marex Solutions, breaks down the ETF narrative into three significant parts: frontrunning the launch, post-launch flows, and the validation of cryptocurrency as an asset class.
Solot emphasizes the crucial role of investment product flow in the coming months as a litmus test for cryptocurrency’s acceptance as a legitimate asset class. Market watchers are keeping a close eye on these developments.
Bitcoin ETFs have witnessed substantial inflows globally, with 13,822 BTC recorded in June, gaining momentum after the BlackRock announcement. This trend extends across jurisdictions, with Canadian and European spot ETPs, as well as U.S. futures ETFs, experiencing robust inflows.
This international interest in Bitcoin ETFs further validates the growing acceptance and adoption of cryptocurrencies on a global scale.
