Bitcoin is falling for several reasons, including macroeconomic and geopolitical factors, compounded by institutional investors exiting through ETFs.
As I write this, Bitcoin is below 80k, and here's why.
Investors exiting through ETFs Several interconnected factors drove the sharp rise in selling acrossspot Bitcoin ETFs. Rising U.S. bond yields pushed institutional capital toward safer assets, reducing appetite for non yielding instruments like Bitcoin. At the same time, expectations around prolonged higher interest rates pressured all risk assets, including equities and digitalcurrencies. Many funds responded by rebalancing portfolios and reducing exposure to volatile assets. Profit booking also played a major role in the selloff. Bitcoin had delivered strong gains earlier in the year, encouraging traders to lock in returns as momentum slowed. Hedge funds and tactical investors, who form a significant portion of ETF holders, reacted quickly to price resistance levels. Their rapid exits amplified overall Bitcoin ETF outflows and increased short term volatility. Regulatory uncertainty further contributed to cautious behavior. Ongoing discussions around crypto regulation and compliance requirements created hesitation among large investors. Until clearer policy signals emerge, many institutions prefer to remain on the sidelines. This wait and watch approach directly impacted ETF inflows during the week.
PANIC SELL If institutional investors leave the market, smaller investors will follow suit. They will want to protect themselves by liquidating their positions, and we have seen outflows from Bitcoin in recent hours.
Announcement of a new FED chairman Why does this affect the market? This new president will take office around May, so for the market, the Fed's interest rates will still be bullish, meaning the dollar will remain strong. Therefore, for the time being, they will not allow themselves to remain in the market.
Geopolitics I've been talking about geopolitics and its consequences for a while now. A few hours ago, explosions were heard in Iran, and the latter is promising a harsh response, which smells like war, and the markets don't like minor tensions.
China has just banned Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies According to some sources, China has once again banned BTC and cryptocurrencies, even though it was one of the biggest Bitcoin adopters in the world, ranking second, which is causing investors to have doubts. Information to be verified.
Being a Binance Angel is not a title. It’s responsibility. Here’s why l chose this path and what it really takes @Binance Angels
Why I became a Binance Angel In 2022 I attended my first offline training with Binance Crypto Academy (BCA) . That same year, I heard about the very first Binance meetup in Togo I had no transport. I hitchhiked just to be there
That day, I met people who introduced themselves as Binance Angels . Their impact, their mindset their service to the community inspired me deeply. I applied in 2022 In 2024 I was selected Two years of patience and persistence.
Why I’m proud to be a Binance Angel Being a Binance Angel gave me more than a role it gave me two families 🤍 The francophone Binance Africa Community 🤍 The global Binance Angel family I’m proud because I help people understand the ecosystem and use Binance safety. I also learn everyday from other Angels cultures and real-life experiences
What makes the Binance Angel Program unique What makes this program special is simple: people come first The human aspect matters. No favoritism. No shortcuts. Your work speaks for you. It’s a global program, open to anyone willing to learn, help, and grow. And yes a little secret 🤫 It opens real doors in the web3 ecosystem
What makes a good Binance Angel From my perspective, a good Angel is built on: ✅ integrity respecting the values and rules of ✅ Availability being there for the community ✅ Pedagogy guiding beginners and protecting them from scams ✅ Community spirit putting we before me Without the community, there is no Angel
What takes to be a good Angel Let's be honest, it takes real effort ⏳ Time to listen and support 📏 Discipline to enforce rules fairly 🧘♂️ Patience sometimes you explain one thing for an hour 🔁 Consistency even when emotions are tested
Requirements to be a good Binance Angel To be effective, you need 📚 Strong knowledge of the Crypto 🎤 Clear communication skills 📜 Strict respect of rules 🤝 A true spirit of service Remember: this is Volunteering If you're not ready to serve you're not ready
The Binance Angel Program is about people, not positions
The crypto market is currently going through a downturn. The question is not just 'why is it dropping?' but especially: 👉 is this just a simple correction or a trap before a broader bullish move? Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has experienced drops and some rebounds, moving within a range. But why isn't BTC taking off despite the long-term fundamentals?
The role of the yen and the carry trade
Do you know about the Japanese carry trade? For over 30 years, interest rates in Japan were close to 0%, even negative.
#FedHoldsRates For those who are surprised by the decision of #PowellSpeech I do not understand, in fact, the dollar is weak; reducing the rates means weakening it even more, and that will not be good. Then inflation is at 2.7%, so it is not too alarming to change the rates, and economic growth is not so bad. So with all that, why will #FED not maintain the rates?? And leave #trump its policy is too strange
#Trump2024 has recently stated that the American economy is doing well and that the dollar has no issues, but is that true ????
Dollar Index The dollar has been in free fall since the dollar weakened, so a decrease in interest rates currently will only lead the dollar into an unprecedented decline, and I have already mentioned here its correlation with the yen, and if the Japanese economy continues to fall, we risk seeing an even weaker dollar, which will worry investors
The idea that banks will disappear with blockchain technology is a major topic of debate, but the current trend in 2026 shows a transformation rather than a total extinction. Here is the current state of the situation: 1. Disintermediation through DeFi Decentralized finance (DeFi) now allows for loans, borrowing, and asset exchanges without going through a traditional bank. Smart contracts replace the banker to verify collateral and

@CZ about banks in the future at Devos and here's what I can add about it
The idea that banks will disappear with blockchain technology is a major topic of debate, but the current trend in 2026 shows a transformation rather than a total extinction
I am preparing an article on this topic right now, you will tell me what you really think
Will banks disappear??? See you later to read my article
Banks are not going to change, it's true, they are simply going to adapt to this technology

💛 At Davos, @CZ said something that really makes you think: “Banks won’t disappear, but their role will change as digital finance becomes part of our everyday lives” Soon, visiting a branch will be the exception, not the rule, Money will move with you, instantly and seamlessly 🌍
Three Big Opportunities: Tokenization, Payments, AI
@CZ declared this to Devos: Three Big Opportunities: Tokenization, Payments, AI The crypto market is evolving.
The focus is shifting from speculation to real-world utility. Three sectors stand out as long-term opportunities: Tokenization Payments AI Let’s break them down. Tokenization (RWA)
Tokenization is a process that involves creating a digital token on a blockchain to represent a real asset (Real World Asset – RWA). These assets can be stocks, bonds, or real estate.
@Dusk you have waited to hear about this latest one?? It’s a layer1 that allows the issuance, negotiation, and settlement of real assets (RWA) worldwide in full compliance with EU regulations such as MiFID II, Mica, and the DLT pilot regime.
You will have more information on their square account
I had the chance to be a speaker at their AMA with @Binance Square Official where they answered our various questions..
This AMA allowed for more information about the project $DUSK I will write an article to present this wonderful project it will not be an investment advice
