Bitcoin’s Short-Term Holders: Panic, BTC Exodus & ETFs Defy Logic 🚀

by

In the vast, sun-scorched desert of crypto markets, the short-term holders have thrown in the towel like weary farmers during a drought. Per CryptoQuant’s parched reports, a deluge of 62,500 BTC-enough to drown a small village-has fled to exchanges, bleeding red ink as their offering to the gods of volatility.

Another ballet of capitulation 🩸

Earlier today, Bitcoin’s price slithered below $90,000-a level untouched since May-plummeting to an intraday low of $89,368. The market, a fickle lover, left many clutching their pearls and questioning life choices.

Diamond hands? 💸

Eric Balchunas, the oracle of ETFs, whispers that fear is overrated. “Resilient,” he declares, as if BTC holders are the stubborn donkeys of finance. His evidence? A daily $7 billion influx into ETFs, a steady stream of money flowing like water through a camel’s throat in the Sahara.

Balchunas likens this tremor to the “Tariff Tantrum” of yore-a market wobble during the U.S.-China trade war that birthed record ETF inflows in Q1. Back then, investors threw cash at chaos like it was a sale at the local bazaar.

So, in his grand narrative, today’s dip is but a pebble in the river of history. The ETFs, he insists, are the true titans, unshaken by the flicker of a crypto flame. Meanwhile, short-term holders? They’re just the ants scrambling under a stomping giant 🦖.
