Bloomberg analysts: Bitcoin may replicate the trend following the launch of gold ETFs, undergoing a "painful pullback" and a "patience-testing recovery"

Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said Bitcoin ETFs are likely to follow gold’s volatility trajectory, experiencing "stunning rallies" and "painful pullbacks" that will test investors’ patience. Balchunas noted that both gold and Bitcoin are non-yield-bearing stores of value that generate no cash flow. Their demand, driven by market sentiment, can lead to both "price surges" and prolonged stagnation. As such, Bitcoin ETFs may follow the same playbook: stunning gains, painful pullbacks, and a recovery that could test investors’ patience.

One hour ago, a founding investor of Lido deposited 4.3 million LDO tokens they have held for five years into Kraken.

According to monitoring by Chinese crypto analytics platform Yu Jing, an initial institutional investor in Lido transferred 4.3 million LDO tokens (valued at $1.61 million) to Kraken one hour ago, after holding the assets for five and a half years.
