CryptoQuant’s omniscient analyst Maartunn (who, according to reports, has a near‑perfect memory of every ad on a vending machine) has posted on X that the metric measuring the top ten depot inflows against the total exchange inflow has finally decided to let the whales bite back.
The latest dip is a combination of several “fun” macroeconomic hits: rising oil prices, a disappointingly weak U.S. jobs report, and, of course, a wave of liquidations across the crypto derivatives market that hit like a tsunami. Traders, apparently a tad bit too confident with their leverage, were forced to pay the piper, sending prices lower. The whole scene screams: “Risk-off, folks. Time to panic!”
Behold, the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium, that fickle barometer of Yankee ambition, has swung from the depths of February’s despair to the heights of October’s delirium. CryptoQuant, those soothsayers of the blockchain, proclaim this shift with the gravity of a priest foretelling the apocalypse. Yet, what did it yield? A fleeting kiss with $74,000, a brush with the 50-day moving average, and then-poof!-vanished like a ghost at dawn.
As an analyst, I’ve been following Burnett’s predictions for Bitcoin, and his latest forecast is quite striking. He now believes Bitcoin could reach around $11 million per coin by 2036, assuming it gains a significant portion of the world’s financial wealth. This is an update to his previous forecast from last year, where he predicted $10 million by 2035. Importantly, he argues that the factors supporting that initial prediction haven’t disappeared – in fact, they’ve become even more compelling over the past year.
In a move that can only be described as textbook “fakeout,” Bitcoin made a valiant attempt to break above a key resistance range, only to retreat faster than a cat on a hot tin roof. Traders, however, seem unfazed. This “fakeout” – where Bitcoin escapes a range only to reverse direction immediately – is a well-known feature of the market. And, in true Bitcoin fashion, it came and went like a brief and fleeting moment of hope.
In a note printed for the public in the modern salon called X, the analyst Ali Martinez contemplates Bitcoin’s supports and resistances with the patience of a man who has learned to listen to memories. The UTXO Realized Price Distribution speaks of the portion of supply last exchanged at every price along BTC’s long journey, a ledger of where the coins have lingered and how the market has remembered them.
While this may sound like something only the “traditional” finance crowd has to worry about, this liquidity headache could have ripples that reach even the most glamorous of markets-Bitcoin and crypto. Oh, the drama!
This fund, with its steadfast adherence to propriety, holds physical DOT tokens, with Coinbase as its custodian. Unlike those futures-based products, which are but a shadow of the real thing, TDOT follows the actual performance of the asset. It may even stake a portion of its holdings, a feature that sets it apart from the more conventional, and one might say, less adventurous crypto fund structures.
As a researcher tracking this company, I found it interesting that in February 2026, they used 2,000 Bitcoin as collateral in some hedging deals. This meant their publicly reported Bitcoin holdings went down from 11,542 to 9,542 BTC.
According to their research, Arkham reviewed Tesla’s first Bitcoin purchase, which occurred in 2021. The company invested $1.5 billion in Bitcoin at the time, making them one of the first major companies to hold it as part of their company assets.
