WAGMI Digest - February 16th, 2024

Hello Everyone,


This week's focus is on the remarkable inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. These significant investments have not only propelled Bitcoin's price over the $50,000 mark, a milestone not reached in two years, but have also re-established Bitcoin as a trillion-dollar asset. 


Alongside Bitcoin's rise, Ethereum is also drawing attention, with its price climbing as investors eagerly anticipate comparable ETF inflows. Many are seeking to get ahead of a potential upsurge in its value. We are closely watching these developments, as the sustained inflows into Bitcoin and the optimistic outlook for Ethereum indicate that the current upward trend in the crypto market may only be the start of a broader wave of growth and acceptance.


Bitcoin Price: $51,845.54 (+9.02% past 7 days)

Ethereum Price: $2,770.96 (+11.35% past 7 days)

Solana Price: $108.78 (+3.23% past 7 days)

*as of 3:10pm EST 2/9/24


Bitcoin's Bullish Market Trend Amidst Decreased Selling Pressure


Bitcoin is currently on a strong upward trend, indicating potential for significant further growth. This trend is being shaped by several important factors in the market.



  • Rising Bitcoin Price and ETF Influence: Bitcoin's value has significantly risen, reaching $52,000 recently – a high not seen since December 2021. This increase is partly due to massive investments in Bitcoin ETFs (approximately $4 billion in net inflows), indicating strong institutional support.


  • Change in Bitcoin Ownership Patterns: Data shows that short-term Bitcoin holders are selling less, reducing the pressure to sell in the market. In contrast, long-term holders, who typically hold onto their Bitcoin for more than six months, seem inclined to retain their investments, which could support further increases in Bitcoin's price.


  • Strong Institutional Investment: Large investors, typically holding more than 100 BTC, are actively buying Bitcoin. This includes major financial players and ETF issuers, suggesting that institutional investment is playing a significant role in driving Bitcoin's current bullish trend.



Significance for WAGMI:

The combination of decreased selling from short-term holders and robust buying from institutional investors is creating a favorable environment for Bitcoin's price growth. This market behavior indicates a shift away from reliance on retail investors, pointing towards a maturing market where Bitcoin's value is less influenced by short-term trends and more by sustained institutional interest. If long-term holders continue to hold their positions, this could further propel Bitcoin's value beyond the current levels.



Surge in Bitcoin ETF Inflows and Ethereum's Price Momentum


The cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant growth, led by the surge in Bitcoin ETF inflows and Ethereum's rising price.



  • Remarkable Growth in Bitcoin ETF Inflows: The inflows into Bitcoin ETFs in just the last four days (43k BTC Inflows) have outpaced the total inflows of the first 20 days of trading (42k BTC Inflows). This remarkable trend highlights increasing investor confidence in Bitcoin as a mainstream investment asset.


  • Ethereum's Price Uptick Amidst ETF Buzz: Ethereum is witnessing a notable price increase, fueled by investor optimism about the potential launch of Ethereum ETFs. This surge in interest reflects the market's anticipation of similar inflows boosting Ethereum's value, prompting investors to get ahead of this expected trend.



Significance to WAGMI:

The substantial inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum's price appreciation mark key indicators of the cryptocurrency market's maturation. This trend aligns with WAGMI's investment strategy of capitalizing on emerging trends in blockchain adoption and digital asset acceptance. The enthusiasm for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs reinforces our diversified investment approach in the digital asset market, anticipating continued growth and evolution. The increasing institutional interest in major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum suggests a broader market adoption and validation of these assets, presenting promising opportunities for strategic investment and market expansion.


Have a great weekend! We'll be back next week with more key updates from the crypto world.


Best regards,

The WAGMI Team
