Bitcoin Woes: Institutional Investors Cash Out While Altcoins Party!

Ah! The digital asset firm proclaims that these outflows signal a stabilization-a delicate ballet after weeks of tumultuous pirouettes and somersaults.

As the second week of February unfurled its dramatic petals, our dear XRP entered a phase so critical, one might call it a financial cliffhanger. After a rather turbulent start to 2026, the digital darling is attempting to cement its bottom-no, not that kind, you naughty reader!-following a sharp retracement. Traders, those ever-divided souls, are split between a recovery and a deeper slide. Oh, the suspense!
Once the United States’ most faithful creditor, Beijing has watched its holdings retreat from a 2013 peak of $1.3 trillion to about $682.6 billion by late 2025-the lowest echo of the crisis-haunted era since 2008. Now China sits behind Japan and the United Kingdom as the third-largest foreign holder of U.S. debt, a position earned through time and now contested by prudence.

So, Bitcoin decided to take a little tumble-down almost 2.5% in the last 24 hours, because why not? It just couldn’t hold onto that sweet $71,000 high it reached after a dramatic week-long rollercoaster ride.

Bitcoin has once again found the thresholds of price discovery and stumbles below the ghostly line of 70k. Momentum? It wobbles, like a man who senses the step before taking it.

According to Markus Thielen, the brain behind 10x Research, these market makers were busy being “short gamma” between $60,000 and $75,000. If that sounds like financial gibberish, think of it as standing on a ladder that’s missing a few rungs. As Bitcoin tumbled, these ladder-standers had to sell Bitcoin in the spot and futures markets to keep their balance, which, of course, only made the ladder wobble more. It’s like trying to stop a sneeze by yelling “DON’T SNEEZE!”-it just makes things worse.

Yet, merely gazing at the price action is akin to staring at a potato and wondering about the meaning of life. The essence of a market bottom is not simply that prices cease their descent into the abyss; it is about the narrative pivoting from mere survival to gallant expansion! Once liquidity prances back into the scene (thanks to the Fed’s inevitable pivot and ETF inflows), it does not merely frolic back into the same tired old coins.
This report, as grand as a tale spun by an old storyteller, frames quantum computing as a long-term engineering conundrum, suggesting that Bitcoin has plenty of time to don its metaphorical armor well before quantum machines can muster enough power to pose a real threat. So, grab your popcorn; this show is just getting started.
Robert Kiyosaki responded to questions about his previous statements regarding buying Bitcoin. He explained that concentrating on specific dates misses the bigger picture – the actual value of the asset itself.
