Wintermute Sounds Alarm: Bitcoin Surge A Short Squeeze, Not Sustainable Growth

Wintermute warns that Bitcoin's recent surge to $83,000 is primarily a short squeeze rather than sustainable growth, driven by a $10B jump in derivatives open interest and low spot volumes. The market maker cautions that short-covering differs from conviction buying, and a retracement is possible unless genuine spot demand emerges. While noting positive long-term factors like strong ETF inflows and low exchange reserves, the firm highlights near-term risks including overbought RSI levels and dependence on equity market sentiment. Bitcoin's ability to hold $80,000 support through potential macro shocks will be a key test of the rally's durability.

Why Strategy CEO sees ‘monster’ demand for Morgan Stanley’s Bitcoin ETF

Strategy CEO Phong Le believes the market is underestimating the potential of Morgan Stanley’s upcoming spot Bitcoin ETF (MSBT). He projects that Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, which oversees $8 trillion in assets, could see up to $160 billion in demand if it recommends a 2% Bitcoin allocation—three times the current AUM of BlackRock’s leading IBIT ETF. While Morgan Stanley has so far acted as a distributor for third-party Bitcoin ETFs, it now aims to launch its own ETF to capture both distribution and management fees. According to the firm’s head of crypto, institutional adoption is still early, with current demand largely coming from self-directed investors. However, some caution that the projected $160 billion may be optimistic, especially amid recent outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Crypto ETFs Are Coming To Thailand: SEC To Launch New Rules This Year

Thailand's Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to introduce new regulations to support crypto investment, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and futures trading. The SEC plans to issue guidelines for digital asset ETFs, allowing investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin without directly managing wallets or facing security risks. Crypto futures will also be enabled on the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX) to provide hedging tools. The regulatory changes are expected early this year. This follows similar approvals in the US and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, US Bitcoin ETFs have recently seen significant net outflows amid a market downturn, with Bitcoin's price falling over 8% to around $89,100.

Morgan Stanley files for Bitcoin ETF as U.S. spot fund flows cool

Morgan Stanley has filed with the SEC for a spot Bitcoin ETF, proposing the Morgan Stanley Bitcoin Trust to track Bitcoin's price through direct holdings. The filing, submitted in January 2026, comes amid a cooling demand environment for U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen sustained net outflows since late 2025 despite stable Bitcoin prices near $90,000. This suggests a market shift from rapid capital allocation to portfolio rebalancing. The move highlights Morgan Stanley's strategic long-term positioning, leveraging its wealth management network to serve investors focused on portfolio construction rather than short-term trading. The filing does not guarantee approval or launch but indicates continued institutional interest in Bitcoin exposure during a more mature and competitive phase.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF Ranks 6th In 2025 Global ETF Flows — Report

Despite a challenging year for the cryptocurrency market in 2025, BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) ranked sixth globally in net capital inflows, attracting approximately $25 billion. This achievement is notable as IBIT was the only fund among top traditional equity and bond ETFs to post negative returns. In contrast, SPDR’s gold ETF lagged behind in inflows despite a 64% return. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the significance of such strong inflows during a bearish period, suggesting even greater potential during favorable market conditions. Meanwhile, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs recorded a weekly net outflow of $497 million, reflecting broader market pressures. Bitcoin’s price fell to around $88,293, down 30% from its all-time high.
