Institutional money has been pouring into Bitcoin at a scale that would have seemed far-fetched just a few years ago. Since the launch of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds, roughly $56 billion has flowed in from asset managers around the world — a shift that Bitmine CEO Tom Lee says is changing how serious investors think about protecting wealth. Related Reading: Ethereum Sets User Record As Price Lags Far Behind Network Growth Gold’s Track Record Under Scrutiny Speaking at the Futu Investment Exhibition, Lee made a pointed case against gold’s long-held reputation as the go-to inflation shield. Historical data, he said, shows gold has failed to keep pace with inflation about 48% of the time over the past 55 years. That’s a striking number for an asset millions of investors hold precisely because they believe it protects purchasing power. Gold prices have also taken a hit recently, dropping over 15% in the past week to trade around $4,493. Bitmine CEO：Bitcoin Beats Inflation 97% of the Time, Far Outperforming Gold Bitmine CEO Tom Lee stated the crypto winter is ending at the Futu Investment Exhibition. He believes Bitcoin is a better inflation hedge than gold, outperforming inflation 97% of the time since its… pic.twitter.com/H5LfaePnRe — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) March 27, 2026 Bitcoin, by contrast, has outperformed inflation 97% of the time since its creation in 2009, according to Lee. He pointed to the asset’s hard cap of 21 million coins as a key reason why. Supply cannot be expanded. No central bank can print more of it. That fixed ceiling, combined with rising demand from institutions, is what Lee says makes Bitcoin a stronger modern hedge than gold. “Many investors hold large amounts of gold for protection, but may be missing exposure to Bitcoin,” Lee said. Wall Street’s Growing Appetite The ETF numbers back up at least part of that argument. Billions of dollars have moved into Bitcoin-focused funds as major asset managers add the cryptocurrency to client portfolios. Reports indicate this trend has pushed Bitcoin further from its early reputation as a speculative bet and closer toward a mainstream financial instrument — the kind typically compared to commodities like gold or oil. Bitcoin was trading near $66,000 at the time of Lee’s remarks, though the price had slipped about 3.35% in the preceding 24 hours. Ethereum Gets A Mention Lee’s presentation didn’t stop at Bitcoin. He also flagged Ethereum as a potential infrastructure layer for Wall Street’s future, saying the blockchain could be used for tokenization, settlement, and broader financial operations. Related Reading: XRP Futures Market Keeps Resetting As Whales Accumulate Amid Mixed Signals Reports note that Lee sees growing connections between crypto networks and traditional finance — particularly as institutions look for faster, programmable ways to move and settle assets. Whether that vision plays out remains to be seen. But the flow of institutional capital into Bitcoin ETFs suggests that at least part of Wall Street is no longer treating crypto as an afterthought.

Bitcoin continues to move within the $66,000 range following the corrective wave that dominated the last trading week. The leading cryptocurrency remains in a bear market that began in October 2025, and has resulted in a 52% decline from the cycle’s all-time high so far. However, recent on-chain data is reflecting some positive developments that support a budding price recovery. Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Capitulate As 22K BTC Flow To Exchanges Bitcoin STH Realized Price Safe With No Market Overheating In their latest QuickTake post, the analytics page CryptoZeno shares that Bitcoin retains a constructive market structure even as intense volatility levels rock the market. This claim is backed by multiple data points, starting with the short-term holder (STH) realized price. For context, Bitcoin’s price continues to hold above this key psychological level, suggesting that many investors in this cohort remain profitable despite the recent price loss. Importantly, this observation suggests there is a decreased immediate selling pressure to support a long-term correction. Interestingly, the 7-day Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is presently valued around 1, presenting another observation that suggests investors are less willing to offload their holdings. While an SOPR of 1 indicates coins are being sold at a profit, a sustained SOPR above 1 during marked consolidations is associated with moderate profit-taking rather than a distribution spree. The 30-day exchange netflow represents the final data point, which has recorded a steady outflow in the past week. Generally, consistent withdrawal from exchanges aligns with accumulation activity, particularly by long-term investors. In particular, CryptoZeno likens the outflow levels to those experienced during early-to-mid bullish phases. Notably, after touching the local low of $60,000 in early February, Bitcoin has witnessed an upward consolidation move, touching as high as $76,000 while also constantly retracing to lows around $65,000. The macro perspective provided by the three metrics mentioned above paints a market with an intact structural support, healthy profit-realization, and a reduced market supply, which collectively suggest the premier cryptocurrency in this consolidation. However, CryptoZeno analysts also warn that the recent loss in price momentum, combined with a falling STH realized price, still puts Bitcoin in a precarious position. Any failure to maintain this support level could trigger selling and cause a short-term dip or sentiment shift.

After declining to around $65,500 on Friday, Bitcoin appears to be recovering slowly this weekend. Having briefly reclaimed the $67,000 level on Saturday, March 28, the premier cryptocurrency seems to be enjoying a brewing bullish momentum. According to the latest on-chain data, the Bitcoin price might be preparing for a broader expansion to the upside over the next few weeks. BTC Net Short Positions Jump 52% In Two Days In a recent post on the social media platform X, popular crypto trader Ali Martinez shared an insight into the general sentiment among the crowd in the world’s largest cryptocurrency market. The crypto analyst revealed that a record number of traders are currently betting against the price of Bitcoin. Related Reading: Binance Users Register Record Gold Futures Trading Activity – What This Means This on-chain observation is based on the Net Short metric, which measures the difference between the number of new short positions opened and the number of existing short positions closed over a given period. Typically, a positive value suggests that more new positions are being opened more than closed, while a negative Net Short metric signals otherwise. According to data highlighted by Martinez, the number of “short” positions being taken by the Bitcoin traders is up by more than 52% over the past two days. This trend has perhaps been influenced by the waning momentum — as evidenced by the fall to $65,500 — of the BTC price in the last few days. Merely looking at this piece of data, it could be concluded that the crowd sentiment is tilting toward the bearish side of the market, implying potential further downside for the premier cryptocurrency. However, historical trends show that the crypto market tends to move in the opposite direction of the crowd. Martinez wrote on X: Historically, when everyone leans too far to one side, the opposite often happens. If BTC starts to climb, all those people betting against it will be forced to buy back in, potentially fueling a powerful “short squeeze” to the upside. Typically, a short squeeze is a phenomenon where the price of a cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, in this case) rises unexpectedly, forcing short traders to try to cover their positions by buying the asset. The forced liquidation of these short positions also adds fuel to the further upward price movement. Bitcoin Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of BTC stands at around $66,880, reflecting a nearly 2% jump in the past 24 hours.

Santiment data shows that bearish sentiment language is flooding social media at peak levels. However, this might actually be a good thing for smart bullish investors, as the sentiment data proposes that what retail traders are saying may be setting up the opposite move in price. Social Media Fear Shows Fading Bullish Language Data from Santiment’s social dominance tracking tool shows a vivid rise in bearish language dominating Bitcoin-related discussions on social media platforms. Terms like “crash,” “dip,” “pullback,” and “bloodbath” are now appearing more frequently across social platforms, and this is a direct reflection of the fear among retail participants. Santiment’s social dominance tracking tool monitors the balance between bullish and bearish language across crypto-related social media in real time. Related Reading: XRP Futures Market Keeps Resetting As Whales Accumulate Amid Mixed Signals At the same time, optimistic phrases tied to rallies, such as “buy,” “accumulation,” or “mooning,” have faded into the background. As bearish as this may sound, history shows that this imbalance between fear and greed has always been associated with turning points for crypto prices. As of late March 2026, Santiment’s chart shows that fearful language is once again heating up, with the metric flagging the current moment as a zone comparable to prior “Buy” signals marked throughout the past 13 months. Each of those prior signals, which are shown in the chart image below and visible across February, April, August, October, and November 2025, preceded meaningful upside moves in Bitcoin’s price action. On the other hand, every major Santiment-marked “Sell” signal where bullish language peaked corresponded with local price tops. The most prominent of these occurred in late November 2025 and again in mid-January 2026, both of which were followed by price crashes. Crypto Sentiment On Social Media. Source: Santiment On X Bitcoin Network Activity Tells A More Complicated Story Price alone, however, may not be enough to confirm a durable bottom. CryptoQuant data on Bitcoin active addresses introduces an important caveat: network participation has declined by more than 30% from its August 2025 peak. During the height of Bitcoin’s bull run in August 2025, active addresses reached 938,609 on a single day, with the 30-day moving average sitting above 743,000. However, daily active addresses have fallen to 655,908 in late March, with the 7-day moving average now around 613,000 and the 30-day average at 636,000. Bitcoin Active Addresses. Source: CryptoQuant This cooling in activity means that fewer participants are actively transacting on the Bitcoin blockchain network. This is another reflection of the lack of bullish price action, lack of investor engagement, and a prolonged consolidation phase.

The XRP price has exhibited a seller-dominated market over the past few days, underscoring the continued dominance of the bears in recent weeks. A broader look at the altcoin’s performance shows what looks like a consolidatory range since early February. As this plays out, a market analyst has recently painted a bearish outlook for the XRP price, predicting a potential 30% decline in the near-term. XRP Breaking Out Of A Symmetrical Triangle In a recent post on the X platform, crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared a not-so-optimistic outlook for the XRP price. Martinez hypothesizes that the cryptocurrency could soon see a significant downturn of up to 30% in the coming weeks. Related Reading: Not Binance: Bitcoin Analyst Who Bought At $1 Revealed What Really Caused The October 10 Crash This bearish projection is based on the formation of a symmetrical triangle on the 4-hour timeframe of the XRP price chart. For context, a symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern where price forms a series of lower highs and higher lows, with the price narrowing into a triangle shape. Typically, the price within this triangle compresses and moves towards its apex of the triangle. Eventually, the asset’s price would be forced to either break above the upper boundary of the triangle ( in what is called a breakout) or fall below the triangle’s lower boundary, forming a breakdown. Sharp Increase In Volatility When this breakout of the symmetrical triangle occurs, it often leads to a sharp expansion in volatility. This is because market participants expect strong moves in the direction of the breakout or breakdown, hence they increasingly bet in line with the move. It is, however, worth noting that not all breakouts are “true breakouts.” As such, it is common practice to wait for a confirmation of the breakout or breakdown — the latter in the current scenario — by watching either for a retest of the trendline or for the closure of at least two bearish candles under the lower trendline. As Martinez highlighted, the XRP price seems to break below the triangle’s lower boundary, implying potential downside volatility in the near term. The price target after the breakdown from the chart pattern is often derived from the height (base) of the triangle. The crypto analyst calculated a potential 30% downward move from the current price point, putting the target at around $0.93. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that the figures obtained are theoretical and may be subject to change depending on broader contingent market conditions. XRP Price At A Glance As of this writing, the price of XRP stands at around $1.34, reflecting a mere 0.6% increase in the last 24 hours.

Long traders in XRP futures market have been repeatedly wiped out in recent weeks, even as large holders quietly add to their positions. Liquidations on Binance topped $2.5 million on March 18, followed by another $2.45 million four days later, and $2.15 million on March 26 — three sharp resets in less than two weeks that point to an unstable futures environment despite rising whale activity. Related Reading: UK Slaps Sanctions On $20B Crypto Black Market Tied To Southeast Asia Scam Rings Whale Buying Hits Longest Streak In Months Large holders have been accumulating XRP steadily since late February. According to data tracked by CryptoQuant, whale inflows are now averaging $9 million per day on a 30-day moving average, and that buying streak has held without interruption since Feb. 27 — the longest sustained accumulation run since a similar period between April and July last year. That earlier stretch ended with XRP hitting an all-time high of $3.65 in mid-July 2025. The current buying activity stands in sharp contrast to the price chart, which has moved in the opposite direction. XRP has dropped 13.63% over the past 10 days after breaking down from a bullish pattern traders had been watching closely. Based on reports from CryptoQuant analysts, the altcoin could slide further to test support at $1.27, with a deeper fall toward the yearly low of $1.11 still possible if selling pressure continues. Open interest on Binance jumped close to 15% in the 24 hours ending March 26 — its highest single-day rise since early March — signaling that traders are adding new positions even as the market keeps punishing longs. The repeated liquidation spikes suggest that fresh money coming into the futures market is taking on more risk than conditions can currently support. Risk-Adjusted Returns Turn Slightly Positive One data point in XRP’s favor is its Sharpe Ratio, which measures how much return an asset delivers relative to its risk. After spending most of the period between October 2024 and February 2025 near or below zero, the ratio edged positive to 0.0267 as of March 26. Analyst Arab Chain, writing on CryptoQuant, called the movement a sign of gradual rebalancing, adding that a drop back into negative territory would signal renewed volatility. A 30-day average daily return of 0.00063 supports the shift, though the number is modest. Data shows gains remain small while volatility has stayed relatively flat — not a strong breakout signal, but a slight improvement from where things stood just a month ago. Related Reading: Ethereum Sets User Record As Price Lags Far Behind Network Growth Spot Market And Futures Sending Different Messages The gap between what onchain data shows and what the price chart is doing is the clearest tension in XRP’s current setup.
