BEARISH 📉 : NYDIG dismisses quantum fears as cause for Bitcoin decline

NYDIG's research suggests that fears of quantum computing do not account for Bitcoin's recent price decline. Key points include:

  • Search trends for "quantum computing bitcoin" increased, but these coincided with Bitcoin reaching new highs, not signaling a sell-off.
  • Bitcoin showed positive correlation with quantum computing stocks like IONQ, QBTS, RGTI, and QUBT. This indicates a shared market driver rather than quantum-specific concerns.
  • The broader market repricing risk across long-duration, expectation-driven assets is a more plausible explanation for Bitcoin's downturn.
  • Liquidity regimes affect both Bitcoin and quantum stocks, as they are seen as long-duration bets heavily influenced by risk appetite shifts.
  • Divergence in derivatives markets shows US institutional desks remain more optimistic, while offshore traders exhibit caution, reducing leveraged long positions.

At present, Bitcoin trades at $66,886.
