Cramer shared a cautious view on Bitcoin just as spot ETFs were introduced to the market. The timing seems odd because these ETFs came around and triggered a drop in the price of BTC.
The debut of Bitcoin ETFs, which was predicted to cause a surge in the BTC price, has coincided with a decline in Bitcoin’s market value. This decline has prompted a reevaluation of earlier bullish forecasts for Bitcoin’s future, with Cramer’s recent analysis aligning with this shift in sentiment.
As noted by economist Peter Schiff, all of the new Bitcoin ETFs have now entered bear market territory, typically defined as a drop of 20% or more from a peak price. Schiff provocatively suggested that the VanEck Bitcoin Trust ETF (EBIT) should change its ticker symbol from “HODL” to “GTFO.”
All the spot #BitcoinETFs are now in bear markets, defined as a drop of 20% or more from the peak. The biggest loser is $FBTC, down 32%. I think the Vaneck #Bitcoin Trust should change its symbol from $HODL to GTFO.— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) January 22, 2024
Following the debut of Bitcoin ETFs, the price of BTC surged past $48,000. However, the price swiftly plunged and is trading at $40,071 at press time.
According to CoinGecko data, BTC dropped below the $40,000 level and went as low as $39,494 before climbing back to its current price. Bitcoin has shed 6.3% of its value in the last seven days and 14.5% in the last 14 days.
