Last week and Monday, the cryptocurrency market crash led to a loss of $230 billion in value. This decline caused the prices of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to drop to levels not seen in months. However, according to FalconX’s latest report, institutional investors viewed this decline as a buying opportunity.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Attract Attention

FalconX’s head of research, David Lawant, noted that interest in Bitcoin is high. Bitcoin’s trading volume is nearly three times that of its rival Ethereum. Institutions are taking advantage of the market decline to buy Bitcoin and Ethereum. Hedge funds, venture capital funds, and individual investors are net buyers.

The sharp decline in US stock markets on Monday also affected the cryptocurrency markets. The Dow Jones Index fell by 2.6%, the S&P 500 by 3%, and the Nasdaq Composite Index by 3.4%. The root causes of these declines are disappointing employment data and decreasing production activities in the US. These developments increased recession fears, prompting investors to sell.

Cryptocurrencies Recover

Following the sharp decline on Monday, Bitcoin recovered 13% of its losses, reaching $56,400. According to FalconX’s data, institutional investors saw this decline as an opportunity to increase their market positions. David Lawant stated that despite short-term fluctuations, institutional investors believe the cryptocurrency markets have a positive outlook in the medium and long term.

Bitcoin’s price dropping to $49,577 raised the possibility of the dreaded “death cross,” which scares investors. This phenomenon in technical analysis occurs when the short-term average falls below the long-term average, usually indicating a negative market outlook. However, it is observed that institutional purchases continue despite such technical signals.

How Do Institutional Investors View the Future?

FalconX’s data shows that last week, institutional investors’ buy/sell ratios fell below 50%, meaning sales exceeded purchases. However, this week, institutional investors have largely become buyers. David Lawant emphasizes that this trend became evident during the recent market correction.

The interest of institutional investors in cryptocurrency markets indicates that this asset class could strengthen further in the future. Despite short-term fluctuations and technical analysis signals, long-term positive expectations suggest that investors will continue their dip-buying strategies.
