Matt Hogan, the senior investment manager at Bitwise, highlighted the stark contrast between the sentiments of professional investors and retail investors. He emphasized that professional investors are ‘extremely bullish’, whereas retail investors’ sentiments are at their worst in recent years. Jeff Dorman, the investment manager at Arca, also confirmed this, stating that ‘never in the history of the crypto industry has there been such a volume of positive news, yet the market’s response to this news is insignificant and unexpected.’ However, Dorman believes that this is mostly a phenomenon limited to social media networks, and in the traditional financial world, acceptance of digital currencies is increasing. According to Bitwise’s prediction, capital inflow into BTC investment funds in 2025 will surpass that of the previous year, expecting Bitcoin’s price to reach $200,000 by year-end. Currently, Bitcoin is still struggling to break through the $100,000 level, trading around $98,196. Some analysts attribute retail investors’ negative sentiments to their heavy investment in meme coins that have experienced significant drops. WIF has lost over 85% of its value, while BONK has dropped by 70%. You can track the live prices of all tokens and cryptocurrencies on the momentary price page.
