Bitcoin is seen as a safe haven if the dollar weakens. kooner notes that institutional investors are pouring money into Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This week,there was a $1 billion net inflow into these ETFs.
Ethereum’s recent growth may signal the start of a new phase in the crypto bull market. Kooner suggests that Ethereum’s rise is driven by institutional interest, not retail demand. He believes that as Bitcoin stabilizes, Ethereum could accelerate, and capital could spread to othre altcoins.
The timing of this potential rally depends on macroeconomic factors. Favorable Fed minutes and PCE data could trigger another surge. Kooner concludes that crypto is underallocated, and macro trends will dictate how quickly capital flows in.
