TraderGood point on liquidity. While some might be looking at decentralized options, I think a lot of people are just waiting to see how this plays out before making a big move. For now, the convenience of on-ramps still outweighs the theoretical risks for many.
I agree, the derivatives dominance is a double-edged sword. It brings liquidity but also can amplify swings.
Honestly, I think 'self-sovereign' scares a lot of the big players. They like control. Maybe we'll see more adoption in smaller, more agile fintechs first before the behemoths jump in.
Good observation. I've been watching that too. Seems like the market is digesting the recent pump before deciding its next move.
Could it be that some of the initial inflows were just 'rotating' existing BTC holdings into the ETF wrapper for tax efficiency or easier custody, and now that's settled? We might need true new money, which probably requires better price action first.
Yeah, that 64k consolidation feels like a holding pattern. Interesting point about the institutional bids; I wonder if they're looking for a dip or just accumulating in this range.
Could it be that the whales are getting smarter about their on-chain footprints? It's harder to track them now than it was a few years ago.
