Bitcoin Price Drops to be Used as Buying Opportunity: deVere CEO

The Bitcoin price drop will be used as a key buying opportunity by savvy investors, predicts the CEO of one of the world’s largest independent financial advisory and fintech organisations.

The observation from Nigel Green, the chief executive and founder of deVere Group, which has $12bn under advisement, comes as the price of the cryptocurrency plummeted 11% on Thursday.

Earlier this month it valued at $42,000. On Friday at 12 noon (CET) one Bitcoin was valued at $31,400.

Mr Green says: “Bitcoin bashers and crypto cynics have been revelling in this week’s price drop.

“However, for many savvy investors, falling prices will be used as a key buying opportunity.  They know the long-term trajectory of digital currencies – like stock markets – is upwards.

“They will be, sensibly, treating the volatility in cryptocurrency markets as they would in traditional markets.  By topping up their portfolios when prices are lower and/or taking advantage of lower entry points, they can often considerably strengthen their position. The crypto market is no different.”

He continues: “I believe we can expect further pull-back in the price in Bitcoin in the near-term, which too will be used proactively by traders.

“But make no mistake, in the long-term, prices are going in one direction: up.

“Why? Because of the digitalisation of economies and every aspect of our lives, including our financial lives, that shows that there will be an increasing demand for digital, global, borderless money – characteristics that are inherent to the likes of Bitcoin.

“Also, due to the consistently surging interest from institutional investors, multinational companies, household name investors and government agencies.

“This was evidenced, once again, last year with the decision by PayPal, one of the biggest payment companies in the world, to allow customers to buy, sell and hold Bitcoin.”

Last week, the deVere boss championed greater regulatory scrutiny of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin as they play an increasingly normalised role for investors.

He noted: “There is sustained and growing interest in the likes of Bitcoin from both retail and institutional investors. They are now increasingly handling the assets as they would any other asset in the portfolio –for example, sometimes profit-taking, sometimes reinvesting, using the volatility to their advantage, and using these alternatives to help with all-important diversification.

“These mainstream, normalised investor strategies demonstrate that cryptocurrencies must come into the regulatory tent and be held to the same standards as the rest of the financial system.”

Mr Green concludes: “Volatility in the crypto market, as in all financial markets, is not necessarily a bad thing for investors and can be capitalised for their long-term financial gain. Harnessed effectively, it can be a very powerful strategy.”

Bitcoin Tests $66,000 Amidst Volatility Forecast

Published

on

bitcoin to Nigerian Naira - Investors King

As Bitcoin surged to a $66,000 price level during Asian trading hours, cryptocurrency markets brace for heightened volatility, with market observers predicting turbulent times ahead.

The cryptocurrency’s price volatility has been a subject of much discussion, particularly in light of recent events.

Semir Gabeljic, Director of Capital Formation at Pythagoras Investments, who highlighted the ongoing volatility cited a recent drawdown of 10% fueled by spot Bitcoin ETF outflows from GBTC, totaling approximately $300 million on March 20.

Gabeljic emphasized that such drawdowns typically occur in the lead-up to Bitcoin halving events, signaling a potential for increased volatility in the near future.

Meanwhile, the CoinDesk 20 (CD20), which tracks the world’s most liquid digital assets, experienced a minor dip of 0.5%.

However, amidst this overall market movement, CoinDesk’s Digitization Index (DTZ) saw a notable uptick, led by protocols like Ethereum Name Service (ENS), which rose by 2.7% during Asia trading hours.

Singapore-based trading firm QCP Capital noted the current consolidation in the market, with Bitcoin and Ethereum trading within a relatively tight range.

They suggested that the market might see a pause in activity over the weekend following the volatility leading up to the previous weekend’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.

Also, QCP Capital highlighted the continued outflows from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), expecting a fourth consecutive day of BTC spot exchange-traded fund net outflows.

The firm also pointed out a widening discount on Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust (ETHE) and the market’s diminishing expectations for the approval of a spot Ethereum ETF.

With Bitcoin’s test of $66,000 and ongoing market dynamics, cryptocurrency investors and analysts remain vigilant, anticipating further fluctuations in the days to come.

Binance CEO Forecasts Bitcoin Surge Beyond $80,000 on Institutional Inflows

Published

Binance Chief Executive Officer Richard Teng has set his sights on Bitcoin surging beyond the $80,000 price level on the back of rising institutional investments into crypto-backed exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Speaking at an event in Bangkok on Sunday, Teng highlighted the significant impact of the launch of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States earlier this year.

He noted that this development has attracted a considerable influx of institutional investors, propelling fresh funds into the cryptocurrency market.

Teng expressed confidence in Bitcoin’s upward trajectory, emphasizing that “we’re just getting started.”

Initially estimating Bitcoin to reach around $80,000 by the end of the year, Teng now believes that the cryptocurrency’s price will surpass this milestone.

He attributed this bullish outlook to a combination of decreasing supply and sustained demand within the market.

However, he cautioned that the rally wouldn’t be without its fluctuations, suggesting that the market’s ups and downs would ultimately benefit its overall health.

Bitcoin has already surged by an impressive 56% this year, reaching a record high of nearly $73,798 last week.

Despite concerns among some investors about a potential bubble, Teng remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future trajectory.

Teng’s forecast comes in the wake of his appointment as CEO of Binance, succeeding co-founder Changpeng Zhao in November following the company’s $4.3 billion settlement with US authorities.

With relentless inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs since their approval in January, Teng expects further institutional adoption in the near term, with more endowments and family offices anticipated to increase their allocations into Bitcoin ETFs.

Bitcoin Retreats from Record Highs Amid Debate Over Market Speculation

Published

The cryptocurrency retreated from its recent record highs, igniting a debate over the speculative fervor gripping global markets.

In Asian trading on Friday, Bitcoin plummeted by as much as 5.6%, shedding its gains from the previous day when it reached a new pinnacle of nearly $73,798.

Despite recovering slightly to trade at $67,300, the retreat has triggered concerns about the sustainability of the crypto bull run.

The moderation in Bitcoin’s surge, alongside a similar trend in other top cryptocurrencies like Ether, BNB, and Solana, reflects a broader shift in investor sentiment.

With both Bitcoin’s ascent and the performance of the top 100 tokens hovering around 60% for the year, market participants are reevaluating their risk appetites amidst a backdrop of escalating inflationary pressures.

In a Bloomberg Television interview, Bank of America Corp.’s Chief Investment Strategist Michael Hartnett sounded alarms, likening the market’s euphoria to the characteristics of a bubble, particularly evident in the technology sector’s “Magnificent Seven” stocks and the soaring highs of cryptocurrencies.

The debate over market speculation is gaining traction on Wall Street, with questions looming about the vulnerability of various asset classes to a potential pullback.

Proponents of Bitcoin point to fundamental supports, such as significant net inflows into US exchange-traded funds and an impending reduction in token supply growth.

However, Bitcoin’s stumble coincided with a surge in US yields and the dollar following a report revealing a spike in producer prices, exacerbating concerns about the Federal Reserve’s ongoing efforts to rein in inflation.

Also, data from Coinglass indicates a rise in caution within the derivatives market, with a notable increase in liquidated bullish crypto wagers and a slump in funding rates for Bitcoin perpetual futures, favored by speculators.
