Bitcoin & Ether Market Update
Bitcoin and Ether Market Update
Noelle Acheson, author of the Crypto Is Macro Now newsletter, provides insightful analysis on recent Bitcoin and Ether market movements. Key developments include MicroStrategy's significant Bitcoin acquisition and a surprising inflationary shift in Ether.
MicroStrategy's Bitcoin Purchases
MicroStrategy has purchased 5,445 Bitcoin for $150 million since August, further demonstrating the company's ongoing commitment to Bitcoin as a long-term investment. This significant buy-in highlights continued institutional interest in Bitcoin despite market volatility.
Ether's Inflationary Shift
Ether, the native token of the Ethereum network, has unexpectedly transitioned to an inflationary state. This is primarily due to a 9-month low in network revenue. Factors contributing to this include the growing adoption of Layer 2 scaling solutions which reduce transaction fees on the main Ethereum network. This creates a dynamic where the reduction in transaction fees directly impacts the amount of ETH burned, resulting in a net increase of Ether in circulation.
September Effect and Market Sentiment
The "September effect", a historically observed phenomenon of market downturns in September, is also relevant to consider in evaluating current market sentiment. This requires careful consideration when interpreting the current crypto market dynamics.
