Analysts say veteran Bitcoin holders are cashing out to leverage ETF advantages and explore broader blockchain investments A new wave of long-term Bitcoin investors, often called “OGs,” is liquidating large portions of their holdings to take advantage of the tax benefits offered by Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and to diversify their exposure beyond Bitcoin, according to market experts.

Whales and long-term investors are cashing out, echoing early 2000s market behavior The ongoing crypto market sell-off is showing striking similarities to the post-2000 dot-com crash, according to analyst Jordi Visser, who compared the current wave of selling to the early internet era’s drawn-out consolidation phase. Visser noted that much like the dot-com bubble, where technology stocks fell as much as 80% before spending over a decade in recovery, large investors in Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins are now offloading holdings, preventing prices from reaching a euphoric blow-off top. “Many stocks were trading below their IPO prices during that time,” Visser…

Stimulus proposal seen as short-term boost for Bitcoin and digital assets, despite legal uncertainty Financial markets responded swiftly after U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to distribute a $2,000 “tariff dividend” to most Americans, funded by revenue from ongoing import tariffs. The proposal, unveiled Sunday on Truth Social, aims to channel tariff proceeds directly to households, excluding high-income earners. “I want every working American to benefit from our success,” Trump said, calling the measure a “dividend of at least $2,000 per person.” The plan, however, faces a significant hurdle: the U.S. Supreme Court is reviewing whether such a distribution can…
