- Largest-ever cryptocurrency deleveraging event surpasses FTX crisis, says Tom Lee.
- Bitcoin’s price fell only 3%-4%, showing resilience.
- Ethereum network activity is rising, but price adjustments lag.
Tom Lee, Head of Research at Fundstrat, disclosed on CNBC the substantial deleveraging in cryptocurrency markets, surpassing FTX’s impact, stabilizing Bitcoin’s value with minimal decline.
This resilience underscores Bitcoin’s potential as a robust store of value amid market volatility, with Ethereum’s on-chain activity predicting possible future market shifts by year-end.
Bitcoin’s Robust Performance in Deleveraging Phase
Tom Lee, Head of Research at Fundstrat, recently declared in a CNBC interview that the largest-ever deleveraging event had occurred in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin’s limited decline during this event reflects its strong market position, noted Lee. His remarks drew attention across financial communities.
The deleveraging reflects the unwinding of a large volume of leveraged positions, impacting Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market stabilization is anticipated, though Ethereum’s price methodologies remain unaffected by the increased on-chain activity, possibly due to typical price lagging effects.
