Bitcoin’s Market Potential May Surpass Gold Amid Iran War: Bitwise

boss

More than 87% of Argentinians surveyed in a January Coinbase poll said they view crypto and blockchain technology as a way to strengthen their financial independence — a sign that the role of Bitcoin in the global economy may already be shifting well beyond what markets have priced in. Related Reading Bitcoin’s Dual Role Draws New Attention Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, made that case publicly this week. He said Bitcoin could one day command a total addressable market larger than gold’s $34 trillion valuation — but only…

Bitcoin’s ‘quantum scare’ priced in, Bernstein says, but 3–5 year window to upgrade

boss

Bernstein says recent Bitcoin volatility already reflects “real but manageable” quantum‑attack risk, giving developers roughly 3–5 years to roll out a post‑quantum migration path anchored around BIP‑360. Summary Bernstein says recent Bitcoin volatility has already reflected growing fears over quantum attacks, calling the risk “real but manageable” rather than existential in the near term. The firm estimates developers have roughly 3–5 years to roll out a post‑quantum migration path, flagging BIP‑360 as a key soft‑fork proposal to cut current exposure. Advances in zero‑knowledge proofs and post‑quantum cryptography, plus pressure from…

Bitcoin’s 50% Drawdown ‘Priced In’ Quantum Computing Threat: Bernstein

boss

Bernstein said Monday that Bitcoin’s selloff has already priced in much of the market’s fear around quantum computing, arguing that the threat is real but still manageable rather than an immediate existential risk. Bitcoin’s (BTC) near 50% drawdown from its $126,198 all-time high in October 2025 is proof that the market has “priced in” several risks tied to a quantum breakthrough, partly thanks to technological progress on zero-knowledge privacy and quantum-proof cryptography that “counterbalance” the AI and quantum acceleration, Bernstein said in a Monday note shared with Cointelegraph. The note…

Coinbase’s COINSOV index blends Bitcoin’s bite with gold’s ballast

boss

Coinbase Asset Management and MarketVector’s COINSOV index uses inverse volatility weights to blend Bitcoin and gold, targeting better risk‑adjusted ‘store‑of‑value’ returns than static mixes. Summary COINSOV dynamically tilts between Bitcoin and gold each quarter based on realized volatility, aiming to capture Bitcoin’s upside while keeping drawdowns closer to gold. MarketVector’s backtests from 2017–2025 show the index beating simple Bitcoin‑gold splits and several benchmarks on a risk‑adjusted basis, with smaller maximum drawdowns than a 50/50 mix. The index holds Bitcoin and Pax Gold (PAXG), letting institutions track the blend onchain while…

Bitcoin’s $55,000 Bear Market Bottom Possible In Late 2026: Analysts

boss

New BTC price analysis predicted that the bear market would bottom out later in the year, before beginning a “two-year accumulation phase.” Bitcoin (BTC) should find a floor near $55,000 in the second half of 2026, a new prediction says. Key points: Bitcoin’s MVRV Z-score metric still needs to match old bear-market bottoms to signal trend change, says CryptoQuant. That should result in a trip to $55,000 in late 2026 before a market rebound. Going forward, the next cycle top is expected in the second half of 2029. Bitcoin MVRV…

boss

The latest Finestel report on February 2026 shows Bitcoin’s plunge toward $60,000 was one of crypto’s deepest capitulation events yet, but disciplined asset managers cushioned most of the damage by rotating into stablecoins, cutting leverage, and selectively buying the rebound. Summary itcoin dropped roughly 12–13% in February, breaking key supports and briefly tumbling toward $60,000 as total crypto market cap fell to about $2.4 trillion. On‑chain data shows one of the largest loss‑making capitulations on record, while spot Bitcoin ETFs only saw renewed inflows as BTC reclaimed the high‑$60,000s. The…

Bitcoin’s Rally To $72K Highlights Improving Market Structure

boss

Key points: Bitcoin is showing signs of bottoming out, but some analysts believe a final shakeout below $60,000 is still possible over the next few months. Several major altcoins are showing early signs of buying, but the bulls have a lot of work to do before a trend change is signalled. Bitcoin (BTC) rose above the $72,000 level on Tuesday following the announcement of a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. Although the bulls could not achieve a close above $72,000, a positive sign is that the buyers have…
