Still, this leg of crypto -rally is more likely in the early stages than towards the end, said Jeff Dorman, CIO of the digital asset investment company Arca.
In a Monday Investor note, he quoted crypto analyst Will Clement’s observation on earlier major peaks such as March 2024’s spot Bitcoin Etf-related top and Dec 2024/January 2025 madness surrounded by the Trump election/inauguration when open interest in altcoin derivatives flipped by BTC
“The current rally is nowhere near it,” Dorman said.
Volumes on both centralized and decentralized exchanges rose 23% week-over-weeks, but are still not close to the levels of other broadmarket rallies in the past, Dorman added.
Looking at the big picture, Bitcoin is propelled higher by excessive superb debt and investors seeking refuge from Monetary Inflation, said Eric Demuth, CEO of Europe-based Crypto Exchange Bitpanda.
He said BTC rose to € 200,000 ($ 233,000)is “definitely an option” but the underlying adoption of the asset is more important than price targets.
“What happens when Bitcoin becomes permanently embedded in the portfolios of larger investors, in the reserves in sovereign states and in the infrastructure of global banks?”, He said. “Because that’s exactly what’s happening right now.”
In the next few years, Dermuth expects Bitcoin’s market value to gradually converge to Gold’s, which currently sits over $ 22 trillion, nine times larger than BTC.
