Wall Street Giant Citi Announces New Bitcoin (BTC) Price Prediction!

Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced sharp declines in recent days as part of a downward trend that began in October.

With Bitcoin recently falling below $73,000, expectations of further decline are increasing.

At this point, Wall Street giant Citi stated in its latest analysis that Bitcoin is at a critical juncture.

According to Coindesk, Citi analysts stated that Bitcoin could retest the $70,000 level amid a slowdown in spot ETF inflows and regulatory uncertainty.

Citi analyst Alex Saunders noted that ETF fund inflows have slowed and that long positions in the futures market continue to be liquidated.

Faced with these negative factors, Bitcoin is trading well below $81,600, the average entry price for spot ETF investors.

At this point, the analyst noted that Bitcoin was approaching the approximately $70,000 level reached before the US presidential election and was moving towards a decisive price zone that could determine the short-term direction of the market.

The analyst also pointed out the macroeconomic risks that continue to affect Bitcoin.

Citi stated, “The Fed’s balance sheet reduction policy has historically reduced bank liquidity and put pressure on crypto markets. However, as concerns about a prolonged crypto winter grow, this remains not the baseline scenario, but rather an ‘extreme risk’ (a low-probability event that, if it occurs, would have a significant impact).”

The analyst concluded that regulations in the US cryptocurrency market remain the most significant potential catalyst. However, progress on the US Clarity Act bill has been slow and uneven.

According to the analyst, as Senate deliberations continue, delays and mixed political support have lowered market expectations, reducing the likelihood of the bill passing. This is putting pressure on Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market.

Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny

The post Shocking OpenVPP Partnership Claim Draws Urgent Scrutiny appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The cryptocurrency world is buzzing with a recent controversy surrounding a bold OpenVPP partnership claim. This week, OpenVPP (OVPP) announced what it presented as a significant collaboration with the U.S. government in the innovative field of energy tokenization. However, this claim quickly drew the sharp eye of on-chain analyst ZachXBT, who highlighted a swift and official rebuttal that has sent ripples through the digital asset community. What Sparked the OpenVPP Partnership Claim Controversy? The core of the issue revolves around OpenVPP’s assertion of a U.S. government partnership. This kind of collaboration would typically be a monumental endorsement for any private cryptocurrency project, especially given the current regulatory climate. Such a partnership could signify a new era of mainstream adoption and legitimacy for energy tokenization initiatives. OpenVPP initially claimed cooperation with the U.S. government. This alleged partnership was said to be in the domain of energy tokenization. The announcement generated considerable interest and discussion online. ZachXBT, known for his diligent on-chain investigations, was quick to flag the development. He brought attention to the fact that U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Hester Peirce had directly addressed the OpenVPP partnership claim. Her response, delivered within hours, was unequivocal and starkly contradicted OpenVPP’s narrative. How Did Regulatory Authorities Respond to the OpenVPP Partnership Claim? Commissioner Hester Peirce’s statement was a crucial turning point in this unfolding story. She clearly stated that the SEC, as an agency, does not engage in partnerships with private cryptocurrency projects. This response effectively dismantled the credibility of OpenVPP’s initial announcement regarding their supposed government collaboration. Peirce’s swift clarification underscores a fundamental principle of regulatory bodies: maintaining impartiality and avoiding endorsements of private entities. Her statement serves as a vital reminder to the crypto community about the official stance of government agencies concerning private ventures. Moreover, ZachXBT’s analysis…
