🚨 TODAY: Crypto Fear & Greed Index falls to 12, signaling extreme fear. https://t.co/xqsK107x2m
⚡️ RESEARCH: Bitwise's European research arm put a model-implied fair value of $224,000 on Bitcoin this week, framed as a credit default swap on G20 sovereign debt.
The framework comes from analyst Greg Foss's 2021 model, which prices Bitcoin as a non-correlated hedge against major sovereign defaults. The $224,000 figure derives from the weighted default probability across G20 sovereigns and the market cap of the bonds being notionally insured.
The sovereign stress case is not theoretical. Japanese 30-year JGB yields hit record highs. The IMF and OECD project $29T in sovereign and corporate borrowing from bond markets this year, 17% above 2024. Ten-year swap spreads, which measure sovereign risk premia, sit at their highest level since the 2011-2012 European debt crisis.
The report also flagged a near-term headwind. Strategy's STRC perpetual preferred equity has traded below par as higher global bond yields compress its appeal. Strategy has accounted for roughly two-thirds of institutional Bitcoin demand v
Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital asset and a payment system invented by Satoshi Nakamoto who published a related paper in 2008 and released it as open-source software in 2009. The system featured as peer-to-peer; users can transact directly without an intermediary. Transactions are verified by network nodes and recorded in a public distributed ledger called the blockchain. The ledger uses bitcoin as its unit of account. The system works without a central repository or single administrator, which has led the U.S. Treasury to categorize bitcoin as a decentralized virtual currency. Bitcoin is often called the first cryptocurrency, although prior systems existed. Bitcoin is more correctly described as the first decentralized digital currency. It is the largest of its kind in terms of total market value by now.
