Market Review
August proved to be one of the most volatile months for Bitcoin and the broader digital assets market.
A mix of macroeconomic pressures and internal market dynamics caused Bitcoin's price to drop sharply from $65k to $49k within four days, with altcoins suffering even greater losses. A brief recovery rally began on August 6th, supported by trends from the Jackson Hole symposium and rate cut expectations, allowing Bitcoin to close the month at $59k. This marked the largest weekly drop since Bitcoin ETFs were introduced, driven by factors such as ongoing Mt. Gox and Genesis distributions, the unwinding of the Yen carry-trade, rising recession fears, reduced odds of a Trump presidency, and weak market sentiment.
Institutional developments provided a counterbalance to the market's turmoil. Goldman Sachs held over $400M in spot Bitcoin ETFs, and Morgan Stanley announced that wealth advisors could pitch Bitcoin ETFs to select clients. However, the SEC's rejection of Cboe’s filings for Solana ETFs, alongside setbacks like TON's price plunge and blockchain outages following CEO Pavel Durov's arrest, highlighted the ongoing challenges in the market. Despite these hurdles, 60% of the world’s top 25 hedge funds disclosed Bitcoin ETF holdings, indicating sustained institutional interest.
Outlook
As we move into September, we anticipate continued volatility as the crypto market approaches the end of its typically challenging summer season. Market participants are closely watching the anticipated rate cut, which would be the first since the Federal Reserve began its tightening cycle in 2022. This rate cut is significant as it marks the second time Bitcoin will experience a macro rate cut cycle, following the 2019 rate reductions that began preemptively due to global economic concerns, and which continued aggressively in 2020 following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We expect that the positive macro sentiment, coupled with optimistic expectations for 4Q, will create a favorable environment for the crypto market. The significant declines in August have driven many altcoins to record low prices, setting the stage for a potential recovery. As the broader market sentiment improves towards the latter part of September, we anticipate a buildup of positive momentum, particularly in undervalued altcoins.
