Is Bitcoin’s glamorous ‘$120,000’ era over? The light and dark side of the market being cut in half and future scenarios
Written on: June 13, 2026 | Column by current affairs critic specializing in IT/media
In October of last year, the price of Bitcoin exceeded $120,000, and the virtual asset market was literally at the peak of joy. The days when everyone had no doubt that Bitcoin would draw an unstoppable upward curve now seem to be a past glory. Recently, as the price of Bitcoin was threatened with even the $60,000 level and plummeted to half its peak, there is a mixture of fear and confusion among market participants. Is this decline truly a temporary adjustment, or a signal of a structural change in the digital asset market? Beyond simply looking at the price chart, we want to sharply dissect the complex factors weighing down the current market and the opportunities for a reversal hidden behind them.
The biggest cause of the rapid decline that the Bitcoin market is currently experiencing can be found in the ‘large-scale flight of institutional funds.’ The approval of the Bitcoin spot ETF last year was a key driver of the bull market, attracting huge funds from institutional investors into the market. But this year, the situation has turned 180 degrees. According to data from Tiger Research, more than $2.3 billion was withdrawn from spot ETFs last month alone, the largest monthly outflow this year. Institutions that led the rising market are now taking the lead in withdrawing funds and freezing investment sentiment, and the vicious cycle in which price declines lead to leverage liquidation in the futures market is further aggravating the decline.
It is also painful to note that the liquidity within the virtual asset market is rapidly being dispersed to attractive external investment destinations. Recently, global derivatives exchanges have listed perpetual futures products that allow up to 20 times leverage on traditional blue-chip stocks such as Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, and Hyundai Motor Company. This means that aggressive speculative capital that had been staying in the cryptocurrency market is moving to traditional financial markets where the risk-return ratio is higher or volatility is new. In addition, large-scale issues such as Strategy's Bitcoin sale controversy and Space
Another variable in the decline in Bitcoin prices is the financing structure of companies and the resulting market trust issues. The incident in which Strategy, which holds a large amount of Bitcoin, sold a small amount of Bitcoin to raise funds for preferred stock dividends, had a great shock to the market. Although the size of the sale is insignificant compared to the total holdings, and the company holds reserves worth $1 billion, the prevailing analysis is that the possibility of a large-scale sale is small. However, the fact that the market's belief that Bitcoin was not sold was broken itself served as an opportunity to increase psychological anxiety for investors. In the end, in order for the concerns about additional selling of the strategy to be completely resolved, a trending price rebound across the market must occur first.
But not all prospects are pessimistic. Market experts agree that legislative changes in the United States could be a new 'game changer' for Bitcoin. In particular, the possibility of passage of the 'Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (Clarity Act)' in the Senate and the discussion of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) through the 'American Reserve Asset Modernization Act (ARMA)' are key variables that will change the game in the virtual asset market. If Bitcoin is adopted as an official strategic asset in the United States, this means that it will be elevated beyond a mere speculative asset to an essential asset that the U.S. government and global financial institutions must allocate to their portfolios. If these changes become a reality, it will likely result in a massive market rebound far exceeding the impact of past ETF approvals.
■ Conclusion and analysis outlook
The current Bitcoin market appears to be standing in the ‘mid-winter’. The triple whammy of institutional capital withdrawal, emergence of alternative investment sources, and policy uncertainty is testing the patience of investors. However, looking back on the history of the market, the deepest valley has always been a preparation for a new leap forward. If the macroscopic changes in the U.S. government's discussion of strategic assetization lead to tangible results, the current price cut in half may be recorded as a turning point in the market in the future. Ultimately, the future of Bitcoin will depend on how its technical value settles within the framework of institutional finance, rather than on short-term price fluctuations. What we need now is insight to read structural changes in the market with a cool head.
