Deutsche Bank views Bitcoin's current state as a reboot0

According to experts from the German bank Deutsche Bank, Bitcoin is undergoing a reboot rather than a collapse: the leading cryptocurrency is being tested for its ability to mature and regain the support of institutional investors.

Deutsche Bank believes that the recent sell-off of Bitcoin reflects a loss of investor confidence rather than fundamental issues within the . Analysts estimate that the decline in prices is linked to several factors:

  • significant capital outflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs);

  • a decrease in liquidity;

  • a slowdown in the progress of cryptocurrency regulation.

These developments do not represent a sharp macroeconomic shock but rather a gradual “erosion of trust” in the leading cryptocurrency.

At the same time, Bitcoin has shown a notable weakening of its correlation with traditional assets. The relationship with gold and stock indices has dropped to historical lows, rendering the asset nearly isolated amid a market decline in risk appetite, experts noted.

Since October 2025, the value of the leading cryptocurrency has fallen by more than 40%. However, even after such a correction, Bitcoin remains 370% above the levels seen at the beginning of 2023, indicating the market’s long-term resilience, Deutsche Bank concluded.

Previously, the CEO of Factor and analyst Peter Brandt stated that the drop in the price of the leading cryptocurrency is not driven by panic among retail investors. The cause of the crash is the planned actions of major market players.
