According to the latest research report released by asset management firm Bitwise, Bitcoin (BTC) is entering a new market phase. The report points out that unlike the early days dominated by high leverage and speculative sentiment, today's Bitcoin market is gradually being reshaped by institutional funds and regulatory frameworks, significantly reducing extreme price volatility. Bitwise believes that institutional access, compliance, and the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs are replacing the previous narratives centered around halving events and short-term speculation. This structural shift is gradually removing the label of "high-risk speculative asset" from Bitcoin and moving it into a de-risking process. The report specifically highlights that over the past decade, Bitcoin's rolling volatility has continuously decreased, and by 2025, its annual volatility is expected to be even lower than NVIDIA, a comparison that has garnered widespread attention in the market.

Ahead of the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision announcement today, the crypto market has seen attention-grabbing whale movements. A large on-chain trader held approximately $717 million in crypto long positions at a key macro juncture, sparking market vigilance for short-term volatility. Despite current unrealized losses reaching $54 million, the whale has not reduced its position, demonstrating strong confidence in macro event-driven market trends. From the position structure, this whale primarily allocates mainstream crypto assets through Hyperliquid exchange, including about 203,000 ETH, 1,000 BTC, and over 300,000 SOL, showing a clear macro liquidity betting strategy. These assets are typically highly sensitive to interest rate policies and risk appetite changes, and diversified holdings also reduce risks associated with single-coin volatility.

After the Bank of Japan raised its benchmark interest rate to a nearly 30-year high, Bitcoin prices did not fall but instead rose, reaching as high as $88,000 on Friday, sparking widespread market attention. Data from Cointelegraph Markets and TradingView show that Bitcoin increased approximately 2.5% compared to the opening price on that day and moved in tandem with US stock index futures. This reaction is notably different from previous rate hike cycles, where risk assets typically came under pressure. The Bank of Japan raised its interest rate to about 0.75%, officially ending its long-standing "super-low interest rate" policy. Against the backdrop of major global central banks generally leaning towards easing, Japan's tightening stance stands out. In theory, rate hikes usually suppress risk assets like cryptocurrencies, but the market has evidently already priced in this expectation, instead choosing to believe that "bad news is fully priced in."

Bitcoin valuation is resetting, and the NVT Golden Cross indicator shows that market value is discounted relative to on-chain activity.

Recently, the price trend of Curve DAO (CRV) has once again attracted market attention. According to Coinalyze data, the open interest of CRV has increased by approximately 6.6% in the past 24 hours, which usually indicates that speculative funds are accelerating their entry. However, in contrast to the rising activity in derivatives, CRV's price has fallen by 2.63% during the same period, with a nearly 10% decline over the past week, indicating that the bullish and bearish sentiments are widening. From the overall environment, the crypto market sentiment remains weak. Bitcoin (BTC) encountered resistance around $90,000 and retreated, which also exerted some pressure on the DeFi sector. Against this backdrop, is CRV already entering a more risky phase? This has become a focus for many traders.

Lookonchain monitoring data shows that two wallets associated with the crypto financial services platform Matrixport deposited a total of 4,000 Bitcoins into mainstream CEXs today. Based on current prices, the value is approximately $348 million. This large BTC transfer quickly attracted market attention and is seen as a potential important funding signal. From historical experience, when institutions or large platforms transfer Bitcoin to centralized exchanges, it is usually interpreted by the market as two possibilities: one is to prepare for liquidity management or custody adjustments, and the other is to reserve chips for subsequent trading or risk hedging. Therefore, such on-chain activities often influence market sentiment in the short term, especially when Bitcoin prices are at critical technical levels.
