🚀 Bitcoin Breaks Above $71,500 — But Smart Money Is Watching Closely
The crypto market is heating up again.
As Michael Saylor and MicroStrategy continue accumulating Bitcoin, BTC has pushed past the $71,500 level, regaining strong momentum and attracting attention across the market.
But here’s what makes this move interesting.
Funding rates have dropped to their lowest levels in three years. This suggests that the market has likely flushed out excessive leverage — the kind that often leads to sudden liquidations and unstable price movements.
Instead of speculation, analysts are seeing something healthier.
Real spot demand is now driving the rally.
When price growth is supported by actual buying rather than heavy leverage in derivatives, the trend tends to be more stable and the risk of sudden flash crashes becomes lower.
But the story doesn’t stop with Bitcoin.
Infrastructure tokens are quietly outperforming the broader market.
According to a recent Money That Worked analysis, Bitcoin delivered around +133% over the past 2.5 years, while the WhiteBIT exchange token (WBT) generated an impressive +757% return.
What is driving that performance?
A deflationary token model with regular burns, strong ecosystem utility, and inclusion in the S&P Dow Jones indices have helped the asset reach new all-time highs even during periods of market panic and mass liquidations.
Bitcoin remains the king of crypto.
But sometimes the biggest gains come from the infrastructure building the ecosystem behind it.
The real question is: are you only watching BTC, or also paying attention to the projects powering the crypto economy?
