Крипторынок выходит из циклов хайпа и паники — WisdomTree0

The cyclical model of Bitcoin’s rise and fall is weakening, and institutional investors will play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency market in the coming years, according to analysts at asset management firm WisdomTree.

They argue that the market is entering a new stage where institutional rigor takes center stage, rather than retail investor euphoria.

“The crypto industry has reached maturity. Infrastructure has become more resilient, and the market is no longer solely dependent on cycles of hype and panic. Regulation is strengthening, but not stifling the industry. This is changing the rules of the game. The key shift is subtle but critically important: the discussion has moved from the question ‘should we own cryptocurrency?’ to ‘how do we responsibly implement it?'”, noted WisdomTree.

The volatility of the leading cryptocurrency is decreasing as funds and companies holding on their balance sheets influence market structure. Bitcoin is increasingly viewed by them as a strategic component of an investment portfolio.

According to analysts, the further development of the sector will depend on the quality of regulation and the integration of digital assets into the traditional financial system. With a balance between control and innovation, cryptocurrencies can establish themselves as a distinct asset class, rather than a speculative instrument.

Previously, experts from the on-chain platform CryptoQuant reported that Bitcoin’s MVRV ratio—the ratio of market value to realized value—had fallen to 1.1, indicating that the leading cryptocurrency is approaching what is known as the undervalued zone.
