Bitcoin
Bitwise surveyed 15 institutions, finding none reduced crypto exposure despite a 50% market drop in Q4 2025-Q2 2026, according to the firm.
Bitcoin has risen above $80,000, with some institutions targeting $100,000 by year-end. Key factors include U.S. interest rates, ETF inflows, and regulatory developments. August saw $3.52B in Bitcoin ETF inflows, while the CLARITY Act's defeat in Congress had minimal impact on prices. Analysts cite regulatory easing and 'Uptober' optimism as supportive trends.
Bitcoin's price never closed below its realized price during the 2026 bear market, according to Glassnode. The June 2026 low held above the aggregate cost basis, and if the price stays above the True Market Mean near $77,000, it would be the shallowest bear-market bottom since 2017. The Percent Supply in Profit fell to similar levels as November 2022, but Net Unrealized Profit/Loss remained positive, indicating less structural pressure to sell.
