Asked 1 hour ago

Answer

Bitcoin is experiencing a significant downturn, hitting six- and seven-month lows, with declining ETF demand, institutional outflows, and increased volatility. Despite negative sentiment, some experts remain optimistic about long-term prospects, citing growing institutional involvement and maturing market fundamentals. Stablecoins are gaining traction, but analysts debate their impact on Bitcoin's role. Structural fundamentals are viewed as unchanged, with historical cycles suggesting potential for future recovery.
