The central issue is Price Discovery.
Many still believe Bitcoin’s price is determined on-chain, based on its fixed supply of 21 million coins. That framework depended on one critical assumption: that Bitcoin’s scarcity directly constrained tradable supply.
That assumption once held.
It no longer does.
Today, price is set by the marginal buyer, not by total supply, and the marginal buyer now operates overwhelmingly in derivatives markets, not in spot, on-chain transactions.
Once supply can be synthetically expanded at the margin, scarcity ceases to be the primary determinant of price. The asset begins to trade as a derivatives-led market, rather than as a pure supply-and-demand commodity.
This structural shift is precisely what has occurred in Bitcoin.
Yet, this is not a failure of Bitcoin. It is a sign of financial maturation. The same transition occurred in gold, silver, oil, and eventually equities, where derivatives volumes came to dwarf physical settlement.
To remain profitable, you must recognise that Bitcoin is no longer trading under its original market structure.
The Broken Assumptions
Bitcoin’s original valuation framework rested on two core premises
1. A finite supply capped at 21 million coins
2. An inability to be rehypothecated at scale
Those premises weakened once layered financial instruments became dominant, including
● Cash-settled futures
● Perpetual swaps
● Options
● ETFs
● Prime broker lending
● Wrapped Bitcoin
● Total return swaps
From that point onward, on-chain scarcity stopped determining the marginal price.
Bitcoin did not lose its hard cap. What it lost was scarcity at the margin.
The Key Metric Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR)
This shift is best explained through a single concept Synthetic Float Ratio (SFR).
When total synthetic claims on Bitcoin exceed the freely tradable spot float, price discovery migrates away from spot markets and into leveraged derivatives.
At that stage, Bitcoin begins to trade like every other fully financialised asset.
Why Institutions Can Trade Against Bitcoin
At this point, Bitcoin struggles to attract incremental long-term institutional capital, not because institutions reject Bitcoin, but because they no longer need to own it.
Why buy and hold the asset when exposure can be manufactured synthetically?
This enables the standard derivatives-market playbook:
1. Expand synthetic exposure
2. Short into rallies
3. Force liquidations
4. Cover at lower prices
5. Repeat
Institutions are not creating Bitcoin though, they are creating claims on Bitcoin. A single BTC can simultaneously support:
● An ETF unit
● A futures contract
● A perpetual swap
● An options delta
● A broker loan
● A structured note
That is multiple claims on the same underlying asset.
The Conclusion
This is no longer pure price discovery.
It is a fractional-reserve pricing system, where derivatives not physical scarcity determine the marginal price.
Bitcoin has not failed. But it is no longer the market that many people believe they are trading in.

Frica extremă a dominat sentimentul, cu Indicele Fricii și Avidității la 12.
Analiștii văd 70,000 de dolari ca fiind următorul nivel cheie pentru Bitcoin.
Recuperare pe termen scurt posibilă dacă BTC se menține la 72,000–74,000 de dolari și influxurile de spot reîncep.

Futures traders drastically reduced their activity as Bitcoin’s weakness extends and new year-to-date lows become a daily occurrence. Cointelegraph reviews traders’ BTC price expectations.
Bitcoin’s struggle to hold above $70,000 carried on into Wednesday, raising concerns that the a drop into the $60,000 range could be the next stop. The sell-off was accompanied by futures market liquidations, a $55 billion drop in $BTC open interest (OI) over the past 30 days, and rising Bitcoin inflows to exchanges.
The price weakness has analysts debating whether crypto-specific factors or larger macro-economic issues are the driving factor behind the sell-off and what it may mean for BTC’s short-term future.
Key takeaways:
Around 744,000 BTC in open interest exited major exchanges in 30 days, equal to roughly $55 billion at current prices.BTC futures cumulative volume delta (CVD) fell by $40 billion over the past 6-months.Crypto exchange reserves have risen by 34,000 BTC since mid-January, increasing the near-term supply risk.
BTC open interest collapse points to large-scale deleveraging
CryptoQuant data noted that Bitcoin’s 30-day open interest change shows a sharp contraction across exchanges, reflecting widespread position closures, not just freshly opened short positions.
On Binance, the net open interest fell by 276,869 BTC over the past month. Bybit recorded the largest decline at 330,828 BTC, while OKX saw a reduction of 136,732 BTC on Tuesday.
In total, roughly 744,000 BTC worth of open positions were closed, equivalent to more than $55 billion at current prices. This drop in open positions coincided with Bitcoin’s drop below $75,000, indicating deleveraging as a driving factor, not just spot selling.

Onchain analyst Boris highlighted that the cumulative volume delta (CVD) data shows market sell orders continue to dominate, particularly on Binance, where derivatives CVD sits near -$38 billion over the past six months.
Other exchanges show varying dynamics: Bybit’s CVD flattened near $100 million after a sharp December liquidation wave, while HTX stabilized at -$200 million in CVD as the price consolidates near $74,000.

Increased exchange flows add pressure as analysts watch key levels
Meanwhile, Bitcoin inflows to exchanges surged in January, totaling roughly 756,000 BTC, led by Binance and Coinbase. Since early February, inflows have exceeded 137,000 BTC, underscoring traders’ repositioning and not necessarily leaving the market.
On the supply side, analyst Axel Adler Jr. noted that exchange reserves have risen from 2.718 million BTC to 2.752 million BTC since Jan. 19. The analyst warned that continued growth above 2.76 million BTC could increase selling pressure. The analyst believed that a complete capitulation is yet to take place, which may happen at lower price levels.

Market analyst Scient said Bitcoin is unlikely to form a bottom in a single day or week. Durable market bottoms may develop through two to three months of consolidation near the major support zones, with higher time frame indicators. Scient noted that whether this structure forms in the high $60,000 range or the low $50,000 level remains unclear.
Bitcoin Trader Mark Cullen continues to see potential downside toward $50,000 in a broader macro scenario, but expects a short-term reversion toward the local point of control ($89,000 to $86,000) after BTC swept weekly lows below $74,000 on Tuesday.

Chiar astăzi, curba randamentelor din SUA s-a înăsprit cel mai mult în 4 ani.
Diferența dintre randamentele pe 2 ani și cele pe 10 ani a crescut la aproximativ 0.71%, cel mai ridicat nivel din ianuarie 2022.
Permite-mi să-ți arăt de ce acest lucru este foarte bearish pentru piețe.
Când randamentele pe 10 ani cresc mult mai repede decât cele pe 2 ani, provoacă o înăsprire a pieței de tip bear.
Acest lucru se întâmplă când investitorii devin îngrijorați de inflație, politica fiscală și chiar de datorie.
Și cum afectează asta piața?
Când se întâmplă asta, investitorii se îndepărtează de activele riscante.
Dolarul devine mai puternic, mai puțină lichiditate curge în acțiuni, iar investitorii se îndreaptă spre activele de refugiu.

Insiders are dumping shares at a rate we haven’t seen since 2021.
The sell-to-buy ratio has officially reached 4:1.
Nearly 1,000 executives cashed out in a single month.
Look at the last time the ratio hit this level (late 2021).
It happened just before a big drop that brought prices down for everything.
What’s really worrying isn't how much is being sold, but that absolutely no one is willing to buy.
The only reason insiders put their own money in is because they see value.
Today, that confidence is GONE.
They’re using this chance to sell while there are still buyers, protecting their own money.
They know the real numbers, the order books and the margins, that the public can't see.
And they’re choosing cash over equity.
The signal is obvious. They’re expecting a BIG crash.
Remember, I publicly called the last 3 major market tops and bottoms before they happened.
When I make a new move in the market, I’ll say it here like I always do.
Many people will regret not following me sooner

Familia Trump nu a terminat cu meme-urile. Grupul media al președintelui SUA, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), a anunțat inițiativa sa „Digital Token Initiative” în această săptămână.
Acționarii TMTG, conform comunicatului, vor fi în curând eligibili să primească un token digital legat de platforma Truth Social axată pe MAGA. Aceste tokenuri nu pot fi transferate, schimbate pe bani sau tranzacționate pe Polymarket—încă.
Totuși, comercianții de pe Polymarket pariază pe o șansă de 27% ca Trump să lanseze o criptomonedă completă înainte ca anul să se încheie.

Ianuarie a început anul cu noi integrații majore în ecosistemul TRON. Pune-te la curent cu tot ce trebuie să știi.
Wirex lansează infrastructura de plată nativă TRON pentru plăți agentice
@wirexapp, o platformă globală de plăți digitale cu expertiză în infrastructura stablecoin, a anunțat astăzi o colaborare strategică cu TRON DAO pentru a livra un strat de plată care permite transferuri de valoare instantanee, autonome și globale pe blockchain, nativ pe rețeaua TRON.
Construită complet pe blockchain, noua infrastructură de plată Wirex TRON oferă o bază pentru plăți agentice, unde agenții digitali și aplicațiile pot plăti, câștiga și tranzacționa autonom.

I've been trading for a decade, and I know exactly how it works.
It starts when paper says one thing.
And the real world says another.
🇺🇸 COMEX: ~$78/oz
Now look at physical.
🇨🇳 China: ~$95/oz (+$17)
🇯🇵 Japan: ~$90+/oz (+$12)
🇦🇪 UAE: ~$90+/oz (+$12)
🇮🇳 India: ~$88+/oz (+$10)
Same day.
Same metal.
A $10 to $17 gap.
And in a normal market, this can't last, arbitrage closes it fast, in milliseconds.
But it's not closing.
That one fact explains a lot.
It means the market isn't clearing clean.
Paper is printing a price that physical can't match.
THIS IS NOT GOOD AT ALL.
Now connect the dots.
CME just hiked maintenance margins.
Silver maintenance goes 11% → 15%.
Let me explain this in simple words.
A margin hike is a forced decision day.
If you're on leverage, you only have 2 choices:
1) Add cash fast
2) Cut size fast
Most people cut size.
And when a lot of people cut size at the same time, it does 3 things:
1) Liquidity gets thin
Books get empty.
Small sells move price more than they should.
2) Forced selling shows up
Stops get clipped.
Longs get liquidated.
Then selling feeds on itself.
3) The gap gets worse
Physical stays bid.
Paper gets pushed down.
Two prices get even wider.
So the exchange says "risk control".
But the effect is simple.
Less leverage.
More pressure.
More chaos.
And thin liquidity opens a new window for banks to push price around again.
Just like we've seen before.
Watch the flows.
I've studied macro for 10 years and I called almost every major market top, including the October BTC ATH.
Follow and turn notifications on.
I'll post the warning BEFORE it hits the headlines.

Web3 is basically the Wild West right now. Most people think "hacking" is some complex movie stuff, but honestly? It’s usually just us being lazy with smart contracts or falling for history spoofing. I’ve been digging into the 2026 Binance updates, and there are three specific tools you need to stop ignoring if you want to keep your capital safe.
The "Lens" (Spotting Dirty Contracts) 🔍
Every time you connect to a new DeFi site stop and use the Lens icon.
The Reality Scammers hide "Blacklist" or "Mint" functions in the code. If you sign that transaction, they can literally freeze your tokens.What I do I run the AI scan every single time. If it shows "Red Flags" I don't care how high the APY is I walk away. The AI simulates the trade before you actually lose money. Use it.
Killing the "Poisoning" Scams (The Warning Sign) ⚠️
Scammers are sending $0 transactions to people's wallets just to "poison" their history. They want you to accidentally copy their address because it looks 99% like yours.
The Alert The new Similarity Alert is a lifesaver. It checks the first and last digits against your usual contacts. If that Warning Sign pops up, it means you're about to send money to a ghost.My Tip Seriously, just stop copying from your history. Use the Address Book, give your wallets nicknames, and send from there. It takes 5 seconds and saves your entire portfolio.
Spending Crypto Directly (The Card Icon) 💳
I’m done with the P2P headache and those 2% bank withdrawal fees.
The Logic: The Web3 Card icon is for "Direct-to-Merchant" payments. Since it’s 2026, you can just pay for your flights or coffee directly from your self-custody USDT.Why it helps: It keeps your bank from flagging "suspicious crypto activity" and ensures you get 1:1 value without the "wear and tear" of cashing out.
One Last Thing Ditch the Seed Phrase
If you're still guarding a piece of paper with 12 words, you're at a disadvantage. Move to MPC (Multi-Party Computation). It splits your key so there’s no single point of failure. If you lose your phone, you can still recover your funds through the cloud and your recovery password.
Have you guys tried the MPC setup yet, or are you still stuck on old-school seed phrases? Let me know below so we can keep the community SAFU. 👇
