He mentioned that these institutions were optimistic when Bitcoin was at $125,000, remained interested at $100,000, and "liked it even more" around $65,000. Bitcoin fell to $59,200 last Friday, marking its lowest point since October 2024, down about 50% from its peak of over $126,000 in October 2025.D'Agostino believes that institutional confidence remains strong, investments in related market infrastructure continue, and Bitcoin ETF holdings are resilient. Currently, Bitcoin ETF exposure is still around $100 billion, even though the price has nearly halved from its peak, with retail interest retracting by about 15%. He also downplayed concerns about large institutional leveraged positions being forced to liquidate, stating that he is not aware of any major institutional Bitcoin holders being in a "severely over-leveraged" state.

Analyst Maartunn cited CryptoQuant data indicating that the current premium in the Bitcoin fund market has reached -5.9%, the lowest level in two years. This means that Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT and GBTC are currently trading at a discount of 5.9% relative to their net asset value (NAV). This suggests that the market demand for exposure to these funds has significantly weakened compared to the value of their underlying holdings.
