Matt Hu of BloFin suggests Bitcoin's market cycles may become less volatile as traditional investors enter the market. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at ₹76,30,233 ($80,317.00). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by BeInCrypto, with live market data added, as of Sun, 25 Oct 2026 14:45:02 UTC.

Why it matters

The entry of traditional investors into Bitcoin could stabilize its market cycles, impacting both short-term traders and long-term holders.

Key takeaways
  • Traditional investors are increasingly entering Bitcoin markets.
  • This could lead to less severe crashes in future market cycles.
  • Current Bitcoin struggles around $80,000 amid ETF demand swings and oil price impacts.

During a recent interview at TOKEN2049 in Singapore, BloFin CEO Matt Hu suggested that Bitcoin's future market cycles might be less severe due to the increasing involvement of traditional investors.

Hu pointed to the changing investor landscape, where institutional and traditional investors are playing a more prominent role in Bitcoin markets. This shift could lead to more stable price movements and less dramatic crashes.

The current market context shows Bitcoin struggling around the $80,000 mark, with ETF demand swings and rising oil prices complicating the interest rate outlook. These factors contribute to the cryptocurrency's recent volatility.

Bitcoin's 24-hour price movement shows a slight decline of 0.45%, with a 7-day drop of 1.94%, currently trading at $80,293. The overall crypto market cap stands at $2.75 trillion, indicating a relatively flat market.

The Fear & Greed Index remains at 54, signaling a neutral sentiment among investors. This data suggests that while Bitcoin is experiencing some turbulence, the broader market is not in a state of extreme fear or greed.
