Quantum computing has become the latest all-purpose explanation for Bitcoin’s recent drawdown, but NYDIG says the numbers don’t back the narrative. In a Feb. 17 research note, NYDIG research head Greg Cipolaro argues that “quantum fears” are loud, but not a primary driver of the sell-off when you look at search behavior, cross-asset correlations, and broader risk positioning. Quantum Panic Didn’t Sink Bitcoin NYDIG frames “Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers” as the theoretical endgame risk investors keep circling. The problem is that market behavior doesn’t look like a repricing of an imminent existential threat. First, Cipolaro points to Google Trends. Search interest for “quantum computing bitcoin” did rise, he wrote, but the timing matters. “Search interest for ‘quantum computing bitcoin’ has risen, but notably this occurred alongside bitcoin’s rally to new all-time highs, not ahead of sustained weakness,” the note said. “In other words, heightened searches about quantum risk coincided with price strength rather than weakness. If the market were repricing bitcoin on an imminent technological threat, we would expect search intensity to lead or amplify downside risk, not accompany a period of gains.” Related Reading: Is Jane Street Manipulating Bitcoin? The Viral Theory Explained Second, NYDIG looks at how Bitcoin traded versus publicly listed quantum computing equities, specifically IONQ, QBTS, RGTI, and QUBT. If investors were rotating out of Bitcoin because quantum advances were “catching up,” you would expect quantum-linked stocks to diverge positively as Bitcoin falls. NYDIG says it saw the opposite. Bitcoin was positively correlated with those equities, and those correlations strengthened during the drawdown, suggesting a shared driver rather than a direct quantum-to-Bitcoin causality. NYDIG’s conclusion is blunt on that point. “The data provides no evidence that quantum computing is the proximate cause of bitcoin’s weakness, even if it is the dominant risk narrative at the moment,” Cipolaro wrote. “The more plausible explanation is a broader macro repricing of risk across long-duration, expectation-driven assets. Bitcoin’s recent drawdown appears more consistent with shifts in overall risk appetite than with any discrete technological catalyst.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Bearish Momentum Losing Steam? Analyst Flags Key Metric The mechanism NYDIG highlights is familiar to anyone watching liquidity regimes. Quantum computing firms, it argues, are long-duration, expectation-driven assets with minimal revenues and high EV/revenue multiples. Bitcoin, while structurally different, often trades as a long-duration bet on future adoption and monetary dynamics. When risk appetite contracts, both can get hit together. Meanwhile, NYDIG flags a divergence in derivatives markets that, in its view, better captures the current tape than quantum headlines. The 1-month annualized basis on CME has “persistently traded above” Deribit, which NYDIG uses as a proxy for onshore US institutional positioning versus offshore positioning. Structurally higher CME basis implies US desks have remained more constructive, while the sharper decline in Deribit’s 1-month basis points to rising caution offshore and reduced appetite for leveraged long exposure.

As the first two spot SUI exchange-traded funds (ETFs) debut in the US, some analysts have suggested that the cryptocurrency could be preparing for a massive recovery after bouncing from a crucial support level. Related Reading: BNB Chain’s AI Agent Ecosystem Surges As Crypto Markets Bleed SUI’s Institutional Momentum Expands On Wednesday, Grayscale and Canary Capital debuted the first two spot SUI ETFs, offering direct, regulated exposure to the cryptocurrency while allowing investors to benefit from staking rewards. Notably, Grayscale expanded its lineup of crypto-based products by converting its Grayscale SUI Trust into a spot ETF, which is now live on NYSE Arca under the GSUI ticker. According to the announcement, the fund is designed to “provide investors with exposure to SUI and its staking activity through an ETP, offering a convenient way to gain exposure to a network designed for scalable, real-world applications, and the next generation of digital experiences.” Krista Lynch, Senior Vice President, ETF Capital Markets, at Grayscale, affirmed that “GSUI’s launch on NYSE Arca marks an important milestone in expanding the range of exchange-traded products tied to the Sui ecosystem, including exposure to potential staking rewards.” Meanwhile, Canary Capital launched the first US spot ETF for the cryptocurrency on Nasdaq under the SUIS ticker. The Canary Capital Staked SUI ETF “brings that exposure into a regulated, exchange-traded structure, providing investors access to SUI and its staking reward potential,” stated Steven McClurg, CEO at Canary Capital. “Canary continues to deliver on its strategy to translate emerging blockchain networks into accessible, exchange-traded investment vehicles, and we’re pleased to add SUIS in the category,” he continued. The Sui Foundation highlighted that the latest launches added to a series of institutional milestones in the ecosystem, including multiple Sui-linked investment products and strategic initiatives from firms like 21Shares, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton. SUI Preparing For Major Price Recovery? Amid the spot ETFs’ debut, SUI’s price continued its sideways movement under the $1.00 barrier, trading between $0.93 and $0.98 throughout the day. Ali Martinez suggested that the cryptocurrency could be preparing for a move to higher levels, noting it recently retested a key support level. As Martinex explained, SUI tested and bounced from a two-year rising support line after the early February market crash. This ascending trendline has previously triggered major rallies. According to the chart, the last two times the cryptocurrency hit this support line, it jumped 365% and 850% rallied respectively, with the latest sending its price toward its $5.35 all-time high (ATH) in the following months. To the analyst, if SUI holds the $0.80 area, “history suggests upside could follow. And this time, fundamentals are lining up too.” He pointed out that the growing institutional exposure and the technical structure alignment could set up a base “for something much bigger.” Related Reading: Crypto Funds Bleed $173M As Outflows Extend To Fourth Week – Report Similarly, market observer Bitcoinsensus highlighted SUI’s macro structure, which signals a potential leg up toward new highs. Per the post, the altcoin “has been moving up in a very technical structure” since its launch, repeating a 5-wave up followed by a 3-wave correction. The chart shows that the price is likely near the end of the C-wave of its corrective move, suggesting a new impulsive 5-wave structure could develop in the coming months. “If this trend continues, we could see SUI reach prices above 10$ per coin,” the analyst concluded.
