Bitcoin’s New Role: Between the Halving and Wall Street
For years, the story was simple:
Halving → supply drops → price spikes → euphoria → crash.
But 2024–2025 changed the game. Not destroyed — just complicated it.
🧩 What has really changed?
First — institutions entered.
Spot BTC ETFs opened the market to funds, portfolio managers, and pension schemes, not just individual traders.
➡️ Price now reacts to real capital flows, not only crypto narratives.
Second — halving still matters, but it’s no longer the only driver.
Supply continues to shrink, but ETF flows, interest rates, and global liquidity now compete with it.
➡️ Important, yes. But no longer the main driver.
Third — Wall Street has a voice.
Fed tightening → Bitcoin feels it.
Markets risk-on → Bitcoin moves with them.
➡️ BTC behaves increasingly as a macro asset, not just a rebel.
⚠️ Inconvenient truths
❗ ETFs aren’t a “buy button.” Exits put real, fast pressure on price.
❗ More integration = less independence.
❗ Not a magical inflation hedge — sometimes BTC acts like a risky asset.
✅ But this is maturity, not failure
▪︎Long-term volatility is easing
▪︎Dips are bought faster
▪︎Market is deeper and more rational
➡️ Less “casino,” more capital market.
🧠 Conclusion
Bitcoin no longer follows halving alone, but Wall Street doesn’t pull all the strings either.
It’s between code and macro, ideology and capital — a more complex, mature market.
