As the market weeps from the biggest crypto theft in history, Bitcoin (BTC) could face renewed selling pressure in the coming months as a strengthening US dollar threatens to undermine one of crypto’s biggest macroeconomic investment narratives, according to Connection Capital founder Dan Krupka.
Key facts
- His warning comes as Bitcoin trades around $77,500, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) remains near 102 after gaining ground since September
- The dollar index closed around 101.85 on October 29, compared with 101.45 at the end of September
- Although Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins, that scarcity does not guarantee its price will rise when economic conditions deteriorate
- The dollar weakened slightly on October 30 as falling Treasury yields and concerns surrounding US technology stocks weighed on demand for American assets
Summary
A Post-Midterm Return to Hostilities In Hormuz Could Drive Rising Energy Prices and Strengthen the Dollar. In comments provided to 99Bitcoins, Krupka challenged the increasingly popular “dollar debasement trade,” arguing that rising energy prices and weakness in major foreign currencies could push the dollar higher, dragging Bitcoin, gold and traditional financial markets lower. His warning comes as Bitcoin trades around $77,500, while the US Dollar Index (DXY) remains near 102 after gaining ground since September. The debasement trade has become a central argument for owning scarce assets such as Bitcoin and gold.
