Economist Peter Schiff, known for his skepticism towards Bitcoin (BTC), recently raised concerns about ETF investors facing potential losses.
In a recent statement, Schiff highlighted that while institutional investors are selling Bitcoin in the spot market, retail investors are purchasing it through ETFs.
He sarcastically credited Bitcoin whales for positioning ETF investors as potential “bag holders,” a term referring to those left with declining assets.
Schiff’s remarks follow ongoing market stress, compounded by potential large sell-offs from Mt. Gox.
He previously noted significant losses among Bitcoin ETF buyers, foreseeing more challenges if Bitcoin falls below $38,000.
Despite recent market downturns, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs reported significant inflows, indicating a potential rebound amid Schiff’s predictions of continued bearish sentiment for Bitcoin.
Veteran Bloomberg Intelligence strategist Mike McGlone has reiterated his bearish stance on Bitcoin, adding Dogecoin (DOGE) to the list of assets showing signs of weakness.
Bitcoin’s recent dip below $100,000 might feel discouraging, especially after soaring to $109,000 earlier this year.
Bitcoin’s ownership landscape has shifted, with two institutions—BlackRock and MicroStrategy—now jointly holding more BTC than Bitcoin’s mysterious creator, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin (BTC) managed to surge past the price mark of $89,000, as investors flock to the cryptocurrency amidst traditional market turbulence and increasing political uncertainties.
