- Bitcoin' price weakness is attributed to multiple overlapping headwinds rather than a single catalyst, per NYDIG research head Greg Cipolaro.
- AI investment momentum draws capital away from crypto, as AI stocks outperform and investors rotate from Bitcoin.
- Tech IPOs such as SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are expected to be large, prompting institutions to raise cash and trim crypto holdings ahead of the offerings.
