Bitcoin could find support near $30,000 even if institutional investors unwind their accumulated exposure, CryptoQuant’s chief executive argues.The scenario would require reversing roughly $58 billion in net inflows to US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and selling the 1.3 million BTC publicly traded companies have accumulated. Yet CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju believes Bitcoin’s on-chain investor cost basis would still support prices about three times McGlone’s $10,000 crash forecast.“Even if all of it leaves, on-chain cost basis still puts the floor near $30k,” Ju wrote on X on Oct. 16, responding to Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone.The scale of that…

On Dec. 18, 2020, with Christmas a week away and Donald Trump preparing to leave the White House, Steven Mnuchin’s Treasury Department announced a plan that would require crypto exchanges and other financial institutions to collect more information about transactions involving wallets people controlled themselves.The public was given just 15 days to comment, with most of that period falling over Christmas and New Year’s, and the government said the urgency was justified by ‘national security concerns’ and the growing use of cryptocurrencies in financial crime.Six years later, President Donald Trump’s second administration formally withdrew the proposal, ending a regulatory proceeding…
