Peer-to-peer Bitcoin markets are evolving, and the key isn’t new tech, it’s old trust. Chris Seedor explains how social reputation networks make peer-to-peer (P2P) trading viable again, just like in traditional markets. 🔶 Social graphs replace centralized intermediaries 🔶 Lightning enables instant, trust-minimized settlement 🔶 Market will thrive on P2P Bitcoin deals, no exchanges needed As ETFs soak up supply and fewer coins circulate, robust peer-to-peer markets will become essential infrastructure. 🎥 Catch our conversation with Chris here YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eJPrJXi6 Spotify: https://lnkd.in/eHT3N_nS Apple:  https://lnkd.in/eeV5MSXn #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Finance #Innovation #DigitalAssets

🚨 Is Bitcoin Heading into Another Bear Market? Willie Woo (https://x.com/woonomic), one of the pioneers of Bitcoin on-chain analysis, shared some powerful insights that every serious investor should pay attention to. Here are the key takeaways: 🔹 Cycles Still Matter Bitcoin’s four-year halving cycle is weakening, but liquidity cycles driven by central banks are now the dominant force. Add in global business cycles, and Bitcoin is more interconnected with macro than ever. 🔹 Liquidity is the Canary in the Coal Mine Bitcoin often leads traditional indicators like M2 money supply. Recent data shows weakening liquidity despite Bitcoin holding above $110K - a dangerous late-cycle signal. 🔹 Treasury Companies & ETFs: Double-Edged Swords Firms like MicroStrategy are scaling Bitcoin to multi-trillion potential. But concentration of supply raises real risks of regulatory capture and even “nationalization,” just as gold faced in the 20th century. 🔹 Current Market Risks (Sept 2025) Capital inflows dropped from $2.8B/day to $1.5B/day. Liquidity divergence suggests fragility - think 2017 and 2021 cycle tops. A sharp correction (up to 80%) remains a real possibility. 🔹 Hedge Funds & Strategy Most directional crypto hedge funds fail due to overfitting. Market-neutral quant strategies are proving far more robust. For retail, sophisticated tools (Glassnode, Swiss Block) are essential to avoid noise. 💡 Big Picture: Bitcoin is still in its monetization phase, absorbing capital through treasuries, ETFs, and institutions. But with scaling comes centralization risks, and with liquidity drying up, this cycle looks increasingly fragile. 👉 The lesson? Watch liquidity, not just price. And remember: Bitcoin is no longer just a “crypto asset” - it’s becoming a leading macro signal for the global economy. #Bitcoin #CryptoMarkets #OnChainAnalysis #MarketCycles #Liquidity #MacroEconomics #DigitalAssets #CryptoInvesting #Blockchain #HedgeFunds #CryptoStrategy #BTC

Big moves on the London Stock Exchange: CoreDAO and Valour have just launched a Bitcoin staking ETP that lets investors do more than just track BTC’s price. Thanks to Core Chain’s non-custodial model, you can now earn staking yields (currently at 5.65% annually) without giving up control of your assets. Making yield-bearing crypto investments available to both institutions and everyday investors could be a real game-changer, even as we watch how regulators respond. At Eaton Vasey, we’re keeping a close eye on how these next-gen products might reshape the future of Bitcoin investing. Would you prefer a yield-focused Bitcoin ETP over traditional ETFs? Where do you see the biggest opportunities: or challenges? #Crypto #Bitcoin #ETFs #CoreDAO #EatonVasey
