Bitcoin 2022 bear market correlation hits 98% as ETFs add $220M
New analysis from Timothy Peterson suggests Bitcoin’s 2025 price action is closely mirroring 2022, with a striking 98% monthly correlation and one of the weakest Novembers since 2015. While that backdrop is sobering, risk appetite is improving across equities and crypto, with spot Bitcoin ETFs reportedly seeing around $220 million in weekly inflows and Ether ETFs also attracting capital. If the pattern holds, a more durable recovery may not arrive until well into Q1, but a late-year risk rally remains possible.
Fed rate-cut bets surge: Can Bitcoin finally break $91K to go higher?
Traders now price an 87% chance of a December Fed rate cut as labor data softens, yet Bitcoin has struggled to reclaim $93,000 amid cautious derivatives positioning and subdued ETF inflows (~$70 million last week). Put volumes outpaced calls and futures basis stayed muted, signaling lingering risk aversion after an 18% monthly drawdown. For bulls, holding above $90,000 could be the springboard—especially if liquidity support materializes and risk sentiment continues to stabilize.
Strategy will sell Bitcoin as ‘last resort’ if mNAV drops, capital is unavailable: CEO
CEO Phong Le said the company would consider selling Bitcoin only if its multiple to net asset value falls below one and access to fresh capital dries up—framing any sale as a strictly mathematical, last-resort decision. With $750–$800 million in annual obligations tied to preferred shares, Strategy plans to fund payouts through equity issued at a premium and highlighted a new “BTC Credit” dashboard to demonstrate long-term coverage. Management maintains that even at materially lower BTC prices, obligations remain manageable, underscoring a disciplined treasury approach to a volatile asset.
Nasdaq crypto chief pledges to ‘move as fast as we can’ on tokenized stocks
Nasdaq is prioritizing SEC approval to list tokenized versions of publicly traded stocks, positioning the effort as evolutionary rather than disruptive to existing market structures. The exchange aims to lead responsibly within current rules, as the broader industry debates where value accrues—on mainchains, layer-2s, or traditional rails. With early experiments like Galaxy’s tokenized equity on Solana, tokenized markets are edging toward mainstream consideration, even as skeptics question the near-term benefits for crypto-native ecosystems.
