Good morning, Asia. This is what news is doing in the markets:
Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of the main stories during the US hours and an overview of the movements and market analysis. To obtain a detailed description of the US markets, see Cryptokook from Coindesk America.
After a tense weekend that saw the United States bombard an Iranian nuclear place, Bitcoin He has recovered his balance, around $ 106K as Asia begins his session on Wednesday and pushes the past levels of this month when Israel bombarded Iran.
Part of the reason why Crypto has recovered together with traditional markets is how correlated the two have become.
“Bitcoin’s sensitivity to traditional asset classes and macroeconomic indicators has evolved significantly in the latest market cycles, which reflects its growing integration into the broader macropinial system,” says a recent Glassnode and Glaup report. “The institutional infrastructure has restructured how capital is involved with Bitcoin. As a result, the behavior of its market is increasingly governed by structural liquidity, long -time positioning and regulated access points.”
That institutional spine was visible again this week.
Semir Gabeljic, director of Capital Training and Investment Strategy in Pythágoras Investments, cited ETF flows as an important tail wind: “The huge recent capital tickets in Bitcoin ETF of $ 1.1 billion last week and even $ 350 million today only” are promoting the positive trend.
Spencer Yang, a central collaborator of Bitcoin Fractal, added that one of the reasons why BTC was able to shake the nerves of so fast is that fundamentally, nothing has changed about the class of assets due to the conflict in the Middle East.
All the metrics that investors would look for BTC are still there, and another feeling of the upward market is possibly on the way.
“We are seeing a continuous interest in protocols such as BRC-20, especially with the recent update, as well as the runes and alkanes, which have been receiving close attention,” he added. “Then, in general, the activity in the chain in all areas is increasing thanks to this type of assets.”
The conclusion? As Bitcoin is increasingly defined by institutional demand and macro liquidity cycles, analysts see their price action as less about reacting to the holders and more about the long -term capital commitment. This structural change is what continues BTC above $ 100K, despite the noise.
Tim Draper: Bitcoin is eating crypto
Cryptographic innovation, absorbing ideas once exclusive to Altcoins, as well as Microsoft once consolidated the software revolution under its empire of the operating system, Tim Draper argued in a recent publication about X.
Draper pointed out the BTC domain, a metric equivalent to its “market share”, increasing more than 60%, compared to 40% after the 2017 boom cycle and 50% after the 2021 peak, as proof that Bitcoin is reaffirming control over the broader crypto ecosystem.
Like how Microsoft integrated or cloned early success stories such as Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect and PowerPoint to form their software suite, Draper says that Bitcoin is now incorporating exclusive innovations once Altcoins: intelligent contracts, defi, ordinals and low-cost 2s layers.
“All successful innovations on other platforms are now behaving to Bitcoin,” Draper wrote, calling him an “acceleration” that reflects the consolidation of Big Tech. The developers, he said, are increasingly gravitants to Bitcoin as the safest and most valuable chain.
Draper, who executes an accelerator focused on Bitcoin with Boost VC, said that the next generation of entrepreneurs is based on Bitcoin not only for ideological reasons, but because infrastructure and ecosystem are now ready.
“Smart entrepreneurs are always being built on the platform with the strongest gravitational attraction,” he wrote. “That platform is Bitcoin.”
Wazirx granted an extension to the current revised restructuring plan
Wazirx has received an extension approved by the Court of the Superior Court of Singapore, allowing him to present more arguments in support of his proposed disposition scheme. The court also extended the moratorium on the actions of the creditors, which will now remain in place until a failure in the revised plan is issued.
In a statement published on Monday, the exchange said he is waiting for new directions of the court and reiterated his commitment to resolve pending claims. The company’s original restructuring plan, rejected by the court last month, as Coindesk said previously, sought to reimburse users affected by a trick of $ 234 million in July 2024 through the issuance of recovery tokens and a transfer of operations to a new entity, Zensui Corporation.
More than 93% of the creditors had approved the initial plan, but the court cited concerns about governance and transparency.
Without an approved agreement, Wazirx faces the possibility of liquidation under the Singapore societies law, which could lead to prolonged delays and recovering of reduced creditors. A date for the next judicial hearing has not been established.
