VanEck, an asset manager, has recommended Bitcoin DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) to investors on a note to optimize market trends.
VanEck, an investment asset management firm, is advocating for a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy for Bitcoin (BTC) in anticipation of the November election in the United States.
Bitcoin Offloading by Mt.Gox, U.S., German Government
The recent sales of Bitcoin by the U.S. and German governments and the Mt.Gox offload were acknowledged by Matthew Sigel, the Head of Digital Assets Research at VanEck. VanEck issued a letter to its clients in response to his assertion that they have had a detrimental effect on the price of Bitcoin. The corporation provided additional information regarding the numerous Bitcoin sales in the letter above.
According to reports, the objective of the defunct cryptocurrency exchange Mt.Gox is to distribute all of its $8 billion worth of BTC, beginning with $3 billion. What the beneficiaries will do with these coins upon arrival has yet to be determined; they may choose to sell or keep them. VanEck is optimistic that the Mt.Gox consumers will retain at least one-fourth of their holdings in light of Grayscale’s GBTC precedent.
However, it is essential to acknowledge that Bitcoin has traded at a rate of approximately $10 billion per day on cryptocurrency exchanges this year. This figure excludes those that were traded over-the-counter (OTC). Once more, the German government is offloading up to 8,000 BTC from the 50,000 BTC that was confiscated from pirated movie site operators in early January 2024.
Sigel noted that the exchange’s current balance is approximately 37,000 BTC. Although the U.S. government has transferred $240 million worth of BTC to Coinbase Prime, it currently possesses only 213,297 BTC.
According to Sigel, this feeble price action likely indicates spiteful government selling into a relatively thin July 4th market, with an overhang of potential future sales.
Trump is set to establish United States Bitcoin Reserve
Nevertheless, the forthcoming elections are anticipated to result in Bitcoin’s new all-time high (ATH).
In addition, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump disclosed his intention to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve for the United States if he is chosen as president. In this regard, VanEck’s support for a DCA strategy is intended to guarantee that investors can acquire Bitcoin up to a predetermined weight.
For most 60/40 benchmarked portfolios, the firm considers 6% a reasonable position size for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
In the interim, Trump’s endorsement of digital assets and crypto companies may give him an advantage in the forthcoming election. An intriguing development that market investors are closely monitoring is that of Joe Biden, his closest rival, who intends to concede once he defeats Trump.
